HALIOTIS. 27 



figured in our last plate represents H. ncglecta of Pbilippi, 

 and is undoubtedly identical with our present species. 



39. ELEVATA, f. 116, 117, Soiverhy.—Tesio. oblique sub- 

 trapezoidea, stomatioeformis, subviridis, viridi versus angulum 

 late fasciata, spiraliter elevatim lirata, liris squamatis ; spira 

 elevata cuprea, anfractibus obtuse angulatis. — Having the 

 same stomatia-like form as the preceding, but with strong 

 scaly ridges, and the whorls of the elevated spire more sloped. 



40. SQUAMATA, f. 62, 68, 118, Reeve. — Testa ovato-oblonga 

 angusta arcuata, spiraliter rude et insequaliter lirata, liris 

 squamosis ; plerumque rubro et fusco variegata. — Our fig. 68 

 doubtlessly represents the most characteristic, because the most 

 scaly, form of this species. Fig. 62 is less roughly squamose. 

 It is a beautifully mottled shell belonging to Mr. Hanley. It 

 is difficult to know where H. squa')nata ends and where the 

 next species, H. funebrls, begins, but I think fig. 70, repre- 

 senting a shell with smooth ridges, fairly meets the descrip- 

 tion of the latter. 



41. FUNEBRis, f. 70, Reeve. — Testa H. squamatce similis 

 sed magis ovata, vix arcuata, liris vix squamatis. — The 

 numerous specimens we have examined of the preceding 

 species vary very much in the scaliness of the ridges ; but 

 the present is almost too smooth to be called scaly. 



42. SQUAMOSA, f. 52, Gray. — Testa ovata, depressa rubro 

 fuscoque variegata, liris magnis spiralibus squamatis, nodosis, 

 interstitiis profundis sculpta ; intus rugata ; labio interno 

 angustiusculo; margine externo denticulato ; spira subim- 

 mersa, foraminibus prominentibus subdistantibus. — Very 

 strongly sculptured with prominent squamose and tuber- 

 culated ridges, and deep furrows between. 



43. DiVERSicoLOR, f. 69, Reeve. — Testa oblongo-ovalis, 

 convexa subla3vigatas, tenuiter lirata, coloribus variis viride 

 variegata ; spira fere terminali. — The sculpture is much more 

 fine and depressed than in H. funebrls, and the colours are 

 brilliantly variegated. 



44. ELEGANS, f. 82, 119, Koch. — Testa elongata, arcuata, 

 antice attenuata, straminea, obscure aurantio variegata, 

 spiraliter costata, costis elevatis angustis subsquamatis, 

 interstitiis profundis latiusculis, spira parva, terminali, 

 tuberculis foraminiferis distantibus area marginali angusta
