SOWERBY : NEW MARINE PHILIPPINE MOLLUSCA. 209 



ad basim liris spiralibus 6-7, angustis munitus ; apertura oblonga, 

 columella rectiuscula, callo tenui induta ; labrum acutuin, simi postico 

 lato et profundo, antico lato sed minium profundo ; canalis brevissimus, 

 latiusculus. Long. 15, maj. diain. 6 mm. 



This shell is of a glossy dark -brown colour throughout. The 

 angularity common to the section Clavus is scarcely apparent, and the 

 species may be said to approach the confines of the section Crassispira. 

 D. cantharus, Reeve, from the same locality, is very similar in character, 

 but of a much shorter and stouter form. 



4. EULIMA STTBMARGINATA, n.Sp. PI. XXII, Fig. 4. 



Testa conico-turrita, rectiuscula, aut levissime sinistrorsum curvata, 

 pellucida, nitens ; spira acute pyramidalis ; anfractus 1 2, fere plani ; 

 sutura distincta, linea impressa alba marginata; anfractus ultimus 

 brevis, ad peripheriam levissime angulatus ; apertura parva, late ovata ; 

 peristoma simplex. Long. 5, maj. diam. I "5 mm. 



A shining pellucid shell with a pyramidal spire, very slightly angled 

 in the middle of the short body-whorl, and with a small aperture. 

 The suture is clearly defined, and the impressed line a little below it 

 unusually distinct. 



5. Subularia piperata, n.sp. PL XXII, Fig. 5. 



Testa ovato-subulata, polita, pellucida, maculis parvis numerosis 

 rufo-fuscis irregularibus ornata ; spira acutiuscula ; anfractus 9, 

 levissime convexi, sutura alba, callosa sejuncti ; anfractus ultimus 

 ovatus, ad basim leviter attenuatus ; apertura oblongo-ovata ; peristoma 

 simplex, marginibus coujunctis, dextro ad suturam retracto, columellari 

 calloso. Long. 3, diam. 1 mm. 



The coloration of this little shell, which is profusely speckled with 

 small reddish-brown spots, is quite unusual in the genus ; the other 

 species of Subularia ( = Leiostraca, H. & A. Adams) are either plain, 

 or coloured with transverse linear bands, or, as in S. Metcalfei 

 (A. Adams), marked with longitudinal lines or rlames. 



6. Stilifer Kochianus, n.sp. PI. XXII, Fig. 6. 



Testa ovato-conica, tenuis, pellucida, albida, varicibus irregularibus 

 angustis planulatis hie illic sparsim ornata ; spira acute conica, niedio- 

 criter elata ; anfractus 6-7, convexiusculi ; anfractus ultimus inflatus, 

 spiram superans ; apertura antice latiuscula, sinistrorsum tracta, 

 rotundata, postice angustior, acuta ; peristoma, simplex, acutum. 

 Long. 8, diam. 5 mm. 



A species somewhat allied to S. astericola, Broth, and ovo ideas, 

 H. & A. Ad., but having a longer and more regularly conical spire 

 than either of those species. The opaque white flattened varices, 

 though irregular, seem to be characteristic. 



7. Ptrgulina intersculpta, n.sp. PI. XXII, Fig. 7. 



Testa elongata, pallide fulva ; spira producta, lateribus paulo 

 convexis ; anfractus 7, convexiusculi, sutura profunda sejuncti, 

 costellis longitudinalibus numerosis angustis, interstitiis transversim
