70 PUOCEEDINGS OF THE M ALACOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



I must just add, as on many previous occasions, my great indebtedness 

 to Mr. Edgar A. Smith, I.S.O., of the British Museum (Natural 

 History), to Mr. E. R. Sykes, F.L.S., Mr. G. B. Sowerby, F.L.S., and 

 Mr. 11. Standen, Likewise to Messrs. B. 11. Lucas, J. Wilfrid Jackson, 

 and the llev. Lewis iShackleford for having so carefully sorted much of 

 the shell- sand. 



SCALARIA CANEPHORA,^ n.Sp. PI. VIII, Fig. 28. 



S. testa minuta, attenuata, gradato - fusiforrai, alba, delicata, 

 anfractibus 8, quorum 4 apicales ochracei, plus minus loeves, caeteris 

 ad suturas multum impressis, longitudinaliter arete oblii|ue lamellatis, 

 interstitiis sub lente spiraliter striatulis, ultimo infra medium 

 subangulato, apertura rotunda, peristomate continue, supra extus 

 angulato. Long. 4, lat. 1-5 mm. 



This rare little Wentletrap, occurring as it did with so many other 

 new forms of its genus, combines certain points of both S. goniophora 

 and thelcteria, M. & S., being similar to the tirst-uamed in general 

 form, though its smalluess and greater attenuation of whorl at once 

 distinguish it, while to the latter species (thelcteria) it assimilates in 

 its decussating sculpture, though this characteristic is much liner, 

 proportionately, in our species. 



ScALARiA (Cirsotrema) BONA, n.sp. PL VIII, Fig. 29. 



S. testa fusiformi, crassa, albocinerea, rudi, varicosa, anfractibus 

 ad 8, apicali . . . , cseteris apud suturas impressis, arete 

 rudilamellatis, lamellis obliquis, incrassatis, interstitiis lajvibus, ultimo 

 anfractu versus basim spiraliter unicarinata, apertura rotunda, 

 peristomate continuo, percrasso. Long. 14, lat. 6 mm. 



A boldly constructed species, of the same alliance as S. diadema, 

 Sowb., but the character of the lamelloe is totally distinct, and the 

 contour more fusiform. 



Ceosseia eryma,^ n.sp. PI. VII, Fig. 1. 



C. testa permmima, profunde sed anguste umbilicata, alba, nitida, 

 fere rotunda, solidula, compacta, anfractibus 5, quorum 2 apicales 

 vitrei, Isevissimi, cseteris tumidulis, apud suturas impressis, undique 

 arctissime et delicate spiraliter striatis, ultimo ventricoso-uuivaricoso, 

 globulari, circa umbilicum concentrice crassicarinato, apertura rotunda, 

 labro incrassato, fere continuo, albo, columella excavata. Long. 2, 

 lat. 115 mm. 



A very small but elaborate little species, belonging to a genus which 

 has, so far, had few exponents brought to light. The only species near 

 this shell would seem to be C. striata, Boog Watson, from Cape York, 

 N. Australia. The bordered umbilicus is the same in both species, but 

 the spiral striae appear tine and closer in C. eri/»ia, and the base is not 

 so produced. 



Kavrjpopos, ' l);i»kct-bearing-,' from the fine caucellatious. 

 epvjjia, ' a bulwark,' from the blroug lunbilicar keel.
