longitudinaliter plicata anfractibus rotundis, sutura profunda, 

 apertura subrotunda, canali brevi. — A strongly plaited little 

 shell resembling F. pulcbellus, but without colour and with 

 the plaits larger and not so sharply separated. There is a 

 variety of this which unfortunately is not figured, which 

 has patches of colour on the upper and lower part of the ribs, 

 as in F. pulchella, which is, however, a much more finely 

 sculptured shell.

 longitudinaliter distanter et profunde plicata, plicis supra 

 infraque castaneo maculatis; anfractibus rodundatis, spiraliter 

 striatis ; canali breviusculo subacuminato , apertura sub- 

 rotunda, margine fulvo, crenato. — A white band in the centre 

 of the whorls interrupts the deep chestnut brown with which 

 the rather narrow and distant ribs are painted of the truly 

 pretty shell. 



48. MiNUTisQUAMOsrjs, f. 46, Reeve. — Testa breviter fusi- 

 formis, medio subventricosa, fulva, spiraliter tenuiter lirata, 

 liris tenuissime squamoso-serratis ; anfractibus rotundis, 

 canali breviusculo. — More compact in form and sculpture 

 than F. vidpicolor, with fine ridges minutely serrated. 



49. vulpicolor, f. 73, Soiuerby. — Testa rufo-fusca bre- 

 viuscula, alternatim lirata; spira producta, anfractibus 8 

 prominentibus rotundis, superne crebre plicatis ; apertura 

 subrotunda, canali brevi, truncato. — A pretty little fox- 

 coloured shell from New Zealand. 



50. nigeo-rosteatus, f. 67, Smith. — Testa breviter fusi- 

 formis solida rugosa; ustulata, inter costas et ad canalem 

 nigrescens ; spira turrita, anfractibus angulatis, liris crassis, 

 ad plicas tuberculatis cincta ; plicis crassis, angulatis, subdis- 

 tantibus, canali breviusculo. — A roughly sculptured shell 

 wilh blackish brown colouring on the canal and between the 

 thickened, angular, tuberose ribs. 



51. Blosvillei, f. 79, Deshayes. — Testa breviter rhom-

 bus acute angulatis supra angulum subexcavatis, ad angulum 

 nodulis cuneiformibus coronatis ; apertura pyriformi, luteo, 

 postice profunde canaliculato, intus conspicue liratim dentato, 

 canali breviusculo. — The sharply angidar whorls, the short 

 chanelled sinus of the mouth and broad ribs or denticles of 

 the outer lip, give this species a peculiar character.
