411 MELVILL AND STANDEN : SHELLS FROM LIFU. 



the British Museum. The typical form is from Sandwich 

 Islands and Fiji. 



Rissoina variegata Angas. — Abundant, and brilliantly 

 banded in some cases with ochre or fulvous, while other 

 examples are white and plain. We lately received from Mr. 

 Arnold Umfrevillc Henn this shell from Sydney, N.S.W. 



R. zonula M. & S., p. 30S, 1896. 



R. (Phosinella) Deshayesi Schwartz. — Common. Found 

 also in the Philippines. 



R. (Phosinella) quasillus M. & S., p. 308, 1896. 



R. (Pyramidelloides) insolita Deshayes. — A curious form 

 with the receding ribs beaded and prominent. The name 

 insolita evidently suggests its unaccustomed appearance. 

 The range is wide, embracing the Red Sea, Japan, Mau- 

 ritius, and Indian Ocean 



Barleeia chrysomela M. & S., p. 309, 1S96. 



Family NARLCLDAi. 



Vanikoro Gueriniana Rccluz.— One example of a beauti- 

 fully-ribbed and sub-crystalline species in very perfect 

 condition. Also from the Philippine Islands. 



V. Souleyetiana Recluz. — Few specimens. A smooth, white, 

 plain Vanikoro. We may here call attention to the fact 

 that Vanikoro Quoy has precedence over Narica Recluz 

 and Leucotis Swains. This species is also known from 

 Ceylon and the Paumotus Islands. 



Fa m 1 ly LAMELLA RILD. <F.. 

 Caledoniella Montrouzieri Souverbie. — One specimen only 

 of this very rare and obscure mollusc ; allied to Lame'.laria 

 and Coriocella. It is small, and P/Z/vV/tf-shaped, very 

 depressed, translucent, white, and delicate. 



Family SCALARIIDM. 

 Scalaria angustata Dunker. — A small form of this widely- 

 distributed species. A great many examples.
