  Melanostoma,

  is 
  

   noted 
  for 
  its 
  nigrescent 
  columellar 
  region, 
  and 
  scalata, 
  Souv., 
  from 
  

   New 
  Caledonia, 
  is 
  considerably 
  larger 
  than 
  our 
  shell, 
  with 
  a 
  con- 
  

   spicuous 
  interrupted 
  black 
  spiral 
  band 
  in 
  the 
  central 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  

   interstices 
  of 
  each 
  whorl, 
  between 
  the 
  ribs, 
  otherwise 
  entirely 
  pure 
  

   white. 
  I 
  have 
  much 
  pleasure 
  in 
  honouring 
  this 
  little 
  shell 
  with 
  the 
  

   name 
  of 
  Miss 
  Gertrude 
  M.

  who 
  has 
  so 
  finely 
  drawn

  This

  species, 
  described 
  originally 
  from 
  I. 
  Cebu 
  (or 
  Zebu), 
  

   Philippines, 
  is 
  evidenth' 
  of 
  wide 
  distribution. 
  I 
  have 
  examples 
  

   from 
  the 
  locality 
  just 
  named 
  — 
  Cebu 
  — 
  which 
  are 
  larger 
  than

  described 
  by

  from

  in

  ]}y 
  the 
  description
