Drillia consociata, Smith, var. recordata, n.var. PL XVII, Fig. 10, 



Shell diflPering from the type in its smaller size (an adult shell of 

 the tj-pical form, decollated, measuring 31 mm. long), by the slightly 

 more swollen whorls, and the more numerous and more closely set 

 longitudinal ribs, which latter are more produced over the whorls and 

 do not leave so marked a smooth area below the suture. 



Long. 23'4 mm. ; diam. max. 9*5 mm. 



Hah. — West Africa (Keppel). 



The species was described from a young shell which is not in very 

 good condition, and is now figured (PI. XVII, Fig. 8), for purposes of 

 comparison, from an adult shell which has been examined by Mr. Smith. 

 The form now described as a variety may prove to be a distinct species. 

 In fresh condition the shell is of an olive-green tint, with a brown area 

 either covering the larger and lower portion of the last whorl or 

 confined to a small region at the base. The protoconch, in the variety, 

 is well elevated, acute, and, though a little worn, appears smooth.
