LATIAXIS. 



anfractuum magis prominenti et regular!. — Exactly like a 

 miniature representation of L. pagodtis, a small sliell, with 

 sculpture minute in proportion ; the keel, however, being 

 more prominent and more regular. 



13. EuGENiiE, f. 16, Bernardi. — Testa ventricosa sub- 

 pyrulasformis, spiraliter regulariter sulcata subrosea; spira 

 subconcava, anfractibus obtusissime angulatis, supra angulum 

 concavis declivibus, ultimi angulo supra suturam elevato, 

 umbilico lato, arcuatim elongato ; canali oblique tortuo. — 

 The whorls are obtusely angular above the suture, and are 

 slightly concave above the angle, which is very obtuse. The 

 whole surface is spirally grooved. 



14. NODOSUS, f. 17. — Testa alba brevis; spira conica, 

 anfractibus rotunde angulatis, ad angulum nodulis rotundis 

 ornata, spiraliter liris crebris minute serratis cincta ; umbilico 

 lato, margine serrato ; apertura pyriformi, canali brevi, 

 tortuo. — Short and white, with a row of nodules at the 

 rounded angle of the whorls. 



15. RHODOSTOMA, f. 14, A. Adams. — Testa oblongo-fusi- 

 formis subaurea, late fusco-rubescenti trifasciata, spiraliter 

 sulcata, sulcis serratis, spira elevata acuminata, anfractibus 

 declivibus, infra prope suturam rotundatim angulatis, longi- 

 tudinaliter plicatis, plicis rotundis, prominentibus ; umbilico 

 brevi latissimo, margine serrato ; apertura rosea, subquadrata, 

 margine crenato, canali oblique tortuo. — Although this has 

 not the decidedly angular whorls of most species, the 

 umbilicated region of the canal is very characteristic of the 

 genus. Tlie spire is longer and the umbilicus wider than in 

 any other species. It is coloured with three broad bands.
