PENTADACTYLUS SMITHI. 103 
NOTE VI. 
TWO SUPPOSED NEW SPECIES OF PENTADACTYLUS 
DESCRIBED BY 
M. M. SCHEPMAN, 
1. Pentadactylus (Morula) Smithi, n. sp. 
Shell ovate, blackish brown, variegated with dirty 
white; whorls about 5, upper ones slightly eroded, slightly 
convex, plicately ribbed and spirally lirate, plicae of the 
upper whorls not much pronounced, on the last whorl very 
prominent; lirae 3 in number on each of the upper whorls, 
forming elongated tubercles on the ribs, one of the lirae 
nearest the suture separated from the lower ones, which 
are 6 in number, by a slight depression. Moreover a few in- 
termediate lirae and waved lines of growth, forming small 
scales, are present on fresh specimens. The spaces between 
the ribs are dirty white, especially on the lirae; number 
of ribs on the last whorl 7 or 8. Aperture ovate, bluish 
white within, with 5 brown lines or lirae, ending in 
toothlike granules; outer lip thickened, with brown trian- 
gular spots, corresponding with the granules; columellar 
lip with a callus above, forming a small canal with the 
outer lip, a second one about the middle and a tubercle 
close to this last. Canal rather narrow, oblique; lower 
part of columella brown. 
Length 27, diam. 17, length of aperture 15 mill. 
Locality: Tjilatjap, Java. Collected by Mr. Overdyk 
(Leyden Museum). 
This shell, which I could not identify, I sent to Prof. 
von Martens of Berlin, who thought it had some affinity 
to Purpura alveolata Reeve. As this opinion was given with 
much reserve, I begged Mr. Edgar Smith, of London, to 
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XV.
