HALIOTTS. 31 



59. N^vo^A, f. 73, 39, M(trtyn. —Te?.tsi suborLiciilaris, 

 rubra, nonnunqiian radiis obliquis variegata, intus argentea, 

 spiraliter minute scabroso- striata, rugis oblique radiatis un- 

 data ; tuberculis foraminiferis prominentibus, octonis perviis ; 

 spira lata rotunda. — Some varieties of this rounded scabrous 

 sbell are beautifully varied with rays of scarlet or brown, as 

 in the small shell f. 75. Carefully comparing Reeve's H. 

 clathrata with the spiral portion of this species, I am con- 

 vinced that the former represents the early structure of the 

 latter. I believe the sulcosa of Philippi to be a rather 

 rounded and convex form of the same species. 



60. EOEi, f. 77, 78, Gray. — Testa ovato-orbicularis, liris 

 validis squamatis interstitiis profundis sculpta ; rubra, vel 

 fusca ; spira lata rotunda subcentrali prominenti ; area 

 marginali rotunda. — Ovately orbicular, with large scaly spiral 

 ridges. The spire is rounded and subcentral. H. scabricostata, 

 Meuke, is the same species. 



61. MiD^, f. 31, 125, Linnceus. — Testa setate juniori 

 la3vigata vel tenuissime striata, deinde luteo rufescenti, 

 laminis undulatis oblique subconcentricis, extantibus pro- 

 funde corrugatis ; labio externo circa spiram in laminam 

 marginalem longe extenso. — Very peculiarly wrinkled with 

 waved erect laminse. The outer margin of the lip is extended 

 round the spire so as to form a marginal plait reaching to the 

 other side. The young shell is finely striated and has a 

 smooth appearance, resembling the young of H. sanguinea. 

 The shell figured by Philippi as H. Capensis, Dunker, is an 

 undeveloped H. Tnidce. 



62. PULCHERRiMA, f. 47, Martyn. — Testa rotunda, con- 

 vexa, rubra vel rubro radiata oblique radiatim liris crenu- 

 latis rugata, area marginali erecta, divaricatim et crenulatim 

 lirata, spira rotunda, exserta, subcentrali, foraminibus parvis, 

 tubseformibus. — This beautiful little species is convex and 

 rounded with red all over or red-rayed, wrinkled in oblique 

 crenulated rays. 



63. SCUTULUM, f. 80, 104? Reeve. — Testa ovato-subro- 

 tunda, subcomplanata postice latiuscula, viridi fuscoque 

 obscure variegata, spiraliter liris distantibus subarticulatis 

 sculpta; spira lata, decumbenti. — Rather wide and flat at 

 the spiral end, with spiral articulated distant ridges ; of a 

 dark colour, variegated oljscurely with green and brown.
