   Mr. 
  E. 
  A. 
  Smith 
  figured 
  a 
  specimen 
  from 
  Aignan 
  Island, 
  Louisiade 
  

   Archipelago, 
  that 
  he 
  thought 
  might 
  be 
  the 
  unfigured 
  Nanina 
  inclinata, 
  

   Pfr. 
  He 
  noted 
  that 
  the 
  Aignan 
  I. 
  specimens 
  exhibited 
  excessively 
  

   fine 
  spiral 
  strife 
  on 
  their 
  upper 
  surface, 
  and 
  thought 
  that 
  Pfeiffer 
  

   might 
  have 
  overlooked 
  that 
  character. 
  Having 
  some 
  specimens 
  from 
  

   the 
  Louisiade 
  Is. 
  that 
  I 
  considered 
  were 
  probably 
  the 
  true 
  inclinata, 
  

   I 
  sent 
  one 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Gill, 
  Curator 
  of 
  the 
  Hancock 
  Museum, 
  Newcastle- 
  

   on-Tyne, 
  asking 
  him 
  to 
  be 
  good 
  enough 
  to 
  compare 
  it 
  with 
  the 
  type 
  

   of 
  inclinata 
  in 
  the 
  Angas 
  Collection. 
  Mr. 
  Gill 
  asked 
  Mr. 
  Oliver, 
  

   a 
  conchologist 
  of 
  Newcastle, 
  to 
  make 
  the 
  comparison, 
  and 
  he 
  most 
  

   kindly 
  did 
  so, 
  and 
  reports 
  that 
  the 
  specimen 
  sent 
  him 
  agrees 
  in 
  

   all 
  material 
  respects 
  with 
  the 
  type, 
  which, 
  as 
  in 
  my 
  specimen 
  also, 
  

   has 
  no 
  spiral 
  stria. 
  I 
  intend 
  placing 
  in 
  our 
  national 
  collection 
  the 
  

   specimen 
  compared 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Oliver.
