This species resembles O. aciculare, but is more acuminated at the 
anterior extremity; it is rather more ventricose, and finely striated. 
The spiral fold near the anterior canal is more decided and less ob- 
lique, and the edge of the canal above it invariably leans towards 
the outer lip. 
4. Ovutum perLexum (Thes. Conch. pl.100. f.37,38). Ovul. testd 
ovali-elongatd, levigatd, albidd, extremitatibus deflexis ; aperturd 
angustatd ; labio externo crasso, lato, complanato, antice arcuato, 
breviusculo ; labio interno longitudinaliter tumido, complanato, 
postice uniplicato, antice ad canalem acuminato. 
Resembling O. aciculare, but with a broad, flattened outer lip, and 
the extremities turned downwards. Brought from Ticao, Philippines,

5. Ovutum Puriiprrnarvum (Thes. Conch. pl. 100. f.57, 58). Ovul. 
testa elongatd, gradatim rostratd levigatd, fulvd, subtis albidd ; 
aperturd angustatd, ad canales truncatd ; labio externo levi, albo, 
rectiusculo, antic angulatim contracto ; labio interno levi, intis 
antice subemarginato. 
The contraction towards the extremities is more gradual, and the 
outer lip straighter, than O. birostre, and the canals are truncated 
at the extremities. The colour is pale fawn, darkened in the aper- 
ture, and nearly white at the lips. 
Several specimens were brought by Mr. Cuming from the island
