A remarkable sinistral species, quite unlike any hitherto described. 

 It is very angular, the lonoitudinal ribs raised on the angle giving it 

 a nodulous appearance. The whorls are densely scale-ridged through- 

 out, the ridges varying in thickness. The two specimens from the 

 collection of the late Sir David Earclay, are now in the possession 

 of Mr. James J. MacAndrew. 



4. Tritonide.v neglecta, n.sp. PI. IV. Fig. 7. 



Testa anguste fusiformis, imperforata, anguste rimata, fusca ; spira 

 elata, acuta; anfractus 8, convexi, leviter rotundati, embryonales 2, 

 loeves, sequentes spiraliter dense irregulariter lirati, longitudiualitcr 

 plicati ; sutura canaliculata ; anfractus ultimus spiram superans, 

 elongatus, infra medium contractus et attenuatus, in caudam 

 breviusculam desinens ; apertura oblonga ; labrum leviter arcuatum, 

 intus liris albidis latiusculis duplicatis munitum ; columella glabra, 

 contorta ; canalis breviusculis, leviter recur va. Long. 26, maj. 

 diam. 10 mm. Hah. — Philippines (Cuming). 



In the absence of the soft parts and even of the operculum it is 

 impossible to speak with certainty as to the generic position of this 

 somewhat striking species. In appearance it seems to come some- 

 where between Fusus and Tritonidea. 



There are three specimens in the Natural History IMuscum from the 

 Cumingian Collection, which all these years appear to have been 

 overlooked.

A crisply squamose species, with an acute spire, rather squarish 

 body -whorl, and wide umbilicus This species would by some authors 

 be placed in the genus Latiaxis.

 Hah. — Mauritius (Ilobillard). 



A short, angular little species possessing the scale-ridged character 

 common to most species of the genus, but I know none bearing a very 

 close resemblance to it in form.
