Dolium pictum, n. sp. 
Shell ovate, inflated, rather solid, narrowly umbilicated, 
with an elevated spire; whorls 5!/,, convex, with spiral 
ribs and concentric hairlike striae. There are about 28 ribs 
on the last whorl; the 3 uppermost of them are narrow, 
the other ones rather flat and broader, with narrow inter- 
stices, in each of which runs an intermediate lira. Nucleus 
apparently smooth; aperture oblong, its right margin thic- 
kened by an internal rib. Interior of aperture pale yellow- 
ish-brown with two other ribs (former lips) and grooves 
corresponding to the external ribs. Columella straight, with 
a small white callus, partly covering the umbilicus. Exter- 
nally this shell is brown, variegated with white; moreover 
numerous brown spots accompanied by white ones, adorn 
the last half of the ultimate whorl; on the apertural side, 
the brown and white forms irregular streaks. Nucleus with 
a brownish band along the suture. 
Alt. 56, diam. 43; apert. alt. 44, lat. 21 mill. 
Loe. New Holland? (from the cabinet of Mr. Raye). 
This species agrees in many respects with the description 
of D. Dunkeri Hanley (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1859, p. 481), 
but that shell according to Mr. B. A. Smith, who com- 
pared our specimen with the type in the British Museum,
