smith: some types in the British museum. 231 



8. Cancellaeia Angasi, Crosse. 



Joiim. de Conch., 1863, p. 64, pi. ii, fig. 8. 



Eah. ? 



Very diiferent from the rest of the known recent forms. 



9. Cancellaeia Souverbiei, Crosse. 

 Journ. de Conch., 1868, p. 272, pi. ix, fig. 5. 



Hah. ? 



I cannot agree with M. Crosse in separating this shell from Cancel- 

 Jaria crenifera^ the distinctions which he points ont being very trivial, 

 and in one particular inaccurate. Ho mentions the presence of a tooth 

 at the upper part of the aperture, as if this were absent in C. crenifera, 

 AN'hich is not the case. 



10. MiTRA Crouani, Crosse. 

 Joui-n. de Conch., 1868, p. 274, pi. ix, fig. 6. 



Hah. — Gallapagos Islands. 



I cannot accept M Crosse's decision with regard to the distinctness 

 of this shell from Mitra conica, for in the Museum there are two full- 

 grown specimens, of the same colour and same style of markings, that 

 also have the characteristic transverse reddish lines, which, however, 

 are much paler than in typical examples. 



In the type of M. Crouani, which is only a young shell, the position 

 of these lines is easily traceable upon the white markings, and the 

 curious conical apices are similarly sculptured in all specimens. 

 The locality " Gallapagos Islands" is probably erroneous. 



11. Cerithium Gourmti, Crosse. 

 Juurn. de Conch., 1861, p. 171, pi. \i, figs. 1, 2. 



Hah. — New Caledonia. 



This remarkable shell is very distinct from all other forms of the 

 genus. It varies in the amount of the brown colour-markings, a 

 specimen in the Museum being plainer in this respect than the shell 

 figured by ISowerby (Reeve's Couch. Icon., Mon. Pyrazus, fig. 3). 



12. Clanculus Danieli, Crosse. 

 Journ. de Conch., 1862, p. 407, pi. xiii, fig. 5. 



Hah. — New Caledonia. 



This species does not belong to Clanculus, but has been correctly 

 located in Gihhula by Pilsbry and Fischer. The apex of the spire is 

 described by the three above-mentioned authors as purple-reddish, 

 roseate, or rose-coloured, ignoring or overlooking the fact that the 

 extreme tip of the spire, consisting of about two whorls, is always
