NERITA. 117 



whorls, after rising at the suture, excavately depressed below ; 

 aperture smooth, very light Lluish-grey. 



68. FUNicuLATA, f. 45, Eeeve. — Oblique globoso-acumiuata, 

 purpurea, nigro late fasciata, aut nigra, costis depressis 

 spiralibus sculpta ; apertura oblique producta, alba, area 

 columellari aurautio tincta, granulata, valide dentata, labio 

 externo intus crenulato, superne uuidentato. — The specimen 

 figured in Eeeve is dark-coloured throughout, while the one 

 now presented has two open bands of purplish mottling. 



69. NiGEREiMA, f. 39, Chemnitz. — N. funiculatce similis, 

 sed anfractibus superne magis depressis, apertura alba Isevi, 

 area columellari angusta obsolete granulata.^ — The chief dif- 

 ference between this and the preceding species is that its 

 columellar plait is not tumid. It is narrow, not wrinkled, 

 and much less granulated. 



70. NivosA, f. 106, Reeve. — Oblique acuminata, nigra, 

 laevis, vix spiraliter sulcata ; apertura angusta, oblique pro- 

 ducta, Igevi, angusta. — Smooth, black, and acuminated. 



71. FULiGiNATA, f. 100, Resve. — N. funiculatce similis, sed 

 parva, apertura laevi, alba. — Like a miniature of X. fuuicu- 

 lata, but with a smooth aperture. 



72. GrKAYANA, f. 91, Recluz, — Oblique oblonga, nigrescens, 

 costellis elevatis, albo articulatis lirata ; apertura subcjerulea, 

 expansa, area columellari subaurantia, rudissima. — - From 

 description I judge that this species must somewhat resemble 

 N. lineaia, but the lirae are more distant and articulated 

 with white, and the columellar plait strongly wrinkled. 



73. AUEANTiA, f. 81,. Recluz. — Globosa acuminata, dense 

 spiraliter lirata, aurantia, griseo vel fusco undata ; spira 

 breviter acuminata ; apertura alba, area columellari rugata, 

 dentibus magnis tribus ad marginem armata. — A rounded 

 shell of an orange tint, variegated in bands with grey 

 patches. 



74. ERUBESCENS, f. 62, Reevc. — N. aurantice similis rubra 

 punctata, subrude lirata, fulvo-subrosea ; spira elevata ; aper- 

 tura parva, columella ad marginem breviter rugata. — 1 

 cannot be quite sure whether this ruby-coloured species is 

 distinct from iV. aurantia, but the spire is more elevated 

 and the aperture more contracted.
