188 PLANAXTDiE. 



More attenuately produced and less distinctly angulate 

 than the preceding specimens. Long. 5 — 4|, diam. 2j mil. It is 

 possibly the Planaxis surcinctus of Mc Andrew from Suez ? 

 Through the kindness of Colonel Grodwin-Austen, I have had the 

 advantage of Mr. Edgar Smith's opinion of one of the Cher- 

 boniane Reef specimens — he considers it as Planaxis lineolatus, 

 Gld. 



7. Planaxis ineptus. 



Planaxis inepta, Oould, P. Bost.S. VII, 1860, Kikaia Bay — "axis 4, diam, 

 2 5 niil. " 



12 Cherboniane Reef, .Arakan; coll. W. T. Blanford, Esq. 

 12 Ceylon ; coll. G. Nevill, Esq. 



Long. 8, diam. 4y, another 4|, 2| mil. ; more or less sulcate, 

 last whorl always more or less angulate ; aperture contracted 

 and not " subpatulous " as in PI. lineolatus ; \erj variable in size 

 as will be seen from the above measurements, generally striped 

 as in the figure of the Conch. Iconica of PL zonatus^ A. Adams, 

 [Philippines ; smooth], sometimes only one, sometimes many 

 banded. It may be an extreme var. of PI. lineolatus, Gld. ? 

 My identification has been confirmed by Mr. Edgar Smith, 

 of the British Museum. 



var. persulcatula. 



1 Ceylon ; coll. G. Nevill, Esq.

 as his PI. virgatus.
