170 PEOCEEDrN^GS OF THE MALACOLOGICAX SOCIETY. 



Smith considers the peculiarities of the nodulous projections on the 

 whorls to establish its specific distinction. 



47. CoLUMBELLA FABULA, Shy. This shell is, according to 

 Mr. Tryon, a variety of Columhella pardalina, Lam., which occurs 

 throughout the Eastern Archipelago. 



48. CoLUMBELLA TERsicoLOK, Sby. One good-sized specimen. It is 

 of remarkably wide distribution. 



49. CoLUMBELLA (Atilia) nympha, Kicuer. 



50. ■* CoLUMBELLA (Atilia) puella, Sbv. KcDiarkably brightly 

 coloured, pure white, with ochraceous maculations. 



51. CoLUMBELLA (Conoidea) flava, Brug. A common species, but 

 not in good condition. The distribution extends throughout the 

 whole Indo-Pacific province. 



"We are indebted to Mr. S. Pace for having kindly examined the 

 few Columbellidce of this collection. 



52. '^'MuREX (Muricidea) cirrosus. Hinds. One or two very 

 beautiful varieties, the length of the canal varying in individuals. 

 "We have compared the specimens dredged by Lieut. -Col. L. Wilmer, 

 now in the British Museum, and they are identical. 



53. *Murex (Muricidka) rusticus, Keeve. Figured by Mr. E. A. 

 Smith (I.e.). Our specimens exactly agree with Lieut. -Col. Wilmer's, 

 now in the National collection. 



54. SisTRUM concatenatum, Blvlle. 



55. SisTRUM FRAGUM, Blvllc. Perhaps a variety of the preceding. 



56. *SisTRUM MARGARiTicoLUM, Brod. A Variable shell, and one 

 which much doubt has surrounded ; nevertheless it is quite recognizable 

 and well characterized. Of very wide distribution, from Lord Hood's 

 Island and Mauritius to the extreme East Indies. 



57. SiSTRUM MPSivuM, Xieu. A highly- coloured form. 



58. *' RnizocHiLus abnormis, Smith. Described by its author as 

 Fusus? abnormis, and its peculiarities well differentiated (I.e., p. 811). 

 It is also figured. Probably an inhabitant of corals ; all the specimens 

 we have seen, however, are alike in form and in the very short 

 aperture. The fine sqiiamose lirae are very characteristic. 



59. * LoTORiuM (Simpulum) Strangei, Ad. & Angas. Two 

 specimens, well -coloured and characteristic. 



60. LoTORiuM clavator, Lam. 



61. LoTORiuM (Epideomus) nitidulum, Sby. 



62. Ranella (Apollon) tuberculata, Broderip. Quite typical. 



63. *Triforis sculptus. Hinds. The headquarters of this con- 

 spicuous species are the Malay Peninsula. 



64. Cerithium eubus, Martyn ( = C. eximium, Sby.). Extends 

 from Ceylon along the Indian coast. 



65. Vertagus attenuatus, Phil., 1848. This species, described
