not situated at tlio summit but curved over on to the posterior side of 

 the sliell. The keel is broad and irregularly obliquely plicated. 



The animal is described as resembling; the precedinf>j, but presenting 

 some diti'erences in the colour of the stomach, mouth, etc. Habitat: 

 same as the preceding. Specimens were taken by the late Captain 

 Eudel in the Indian and "West Pacific Oceans in 1869-72. 



9. Carinaria elata, Sowerby, n. sp. 



Testa hyalina, recta, elatissima, antice leviter inclinata, com- 

 pressiuscula, rcgulariter plicata, carina mediocri, plicis subrectis 

 sigTiata. Alt. 16 mm., long. 6 mm., mag. diam. 3 mm. 



This shell is even more elevated than C. cithara, which it otherwise 

 resembles. The nuclear whorls are unfortunately wanting in the 

 specimen, but they are evidently situated at the summit of the shell. 



Two specimens were taken by Captain Eudel in the Western Pacific 

 in 1871, of which unfortunately the animals have not been preserved, 

 so that I am only able to describe the shell, which, however, is so 

 remarkable in form that it is worthy of a name. 



DoTJisTFUL Species.

The dcsci'iption of the shell is so remarkable that one is inclined to 

 doubt its accuracy. Is it possible that some streaks on the animal, or 

 the branchiai showing through the shell, may have misled the author ? 

 The shell is described as having stria) radiating from the summit, no 

 mention being made of the pliciic common to all the known species of 

 the genus ; and it is said to have no carina, which of course may have 

 been broken off. The animal as described is very like C. Lamarckii, 

 but it might be C. Australis, which is more likely from its southern 

 habitat. 



Carinaria gaudichaudi, Eydoux and Soulcyct, C. Cornucopia, Gould. 



Having carefully read the descriptions of these by their respective 

 authors, I am fairly satisfied that they are the same as Benson's 

 C. galea.
