  I 
  believe 
  this 
  species 
  to 
  be 
  widely 
  spread, 
  though 
  there 
  are 
  not 
  

   raany 
  records 
  extant. 
  Bouge

  it

   A 
  species 
  on 
  the 
  borderland 
  between 
  Mangilia 
  and 
  Clathurella, 
  the 
  

  

  apical 
  whorls 
  being 
  smooth 
  and 
  the 
  surface 
  hardly 
  cancellate. 
  The 
  

  

  type 
  here 
  figured 
  is 
  now 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum. 
  

  

  Judging 
  by 
  the 
  general 
  formation 
  of 
  the 
  shell, 
  alliance 
  with 
  

  

  L. 
  armstro7igii, 
  Nevill, 
  is 
  suggested. 
  Apical 
  whorls 
  plain, 
  not 
  

  

  cancellate. 
  This 
  caused 
  tlie 
  autlior 
  to 
  hesitate 
  about 
  its 
  location. 
  

  

  I 
  place 
  it, 
  provisionally 
  only, 
  in 
  Lienardia.

  A 
  common 
  species 
  in 
  these 
  seas, 
  and 
  undoubtedly 
  a 
  Lienardia. 
  

   It 
  has 
  till 
  recently 
  been 
  confounded 
  with 
  CI. 
  polynesiensis,' 
  Keeve, 
  of 
  

   which 
  the 
  type 
  came 
  from 
  Lord 
  Hood's 
  Island 
  (Cuming). 
  This 
  last, 
  

   which 
  is 
  also 
  an 
  abundant 
  New 
  Caledonian 
  species, 
  does 
  not 
  really 
  

   run 
  at 
  all 
  near 
  the 
  L. 
  ditylota, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  extraordinary 
  and 
  un- 
  

   accountable 
  they 
  should 
  have 
  been 
  considex'ed 
  identical. 
  The 
  name 
  

   must 
  therefore 
  be 
  entirely 
  erased 
  from 
  our 
  former 
  catalogue
