150 nrASIANELLA. 



convexis. — A pyramidal shell of dark colour, freckled with 

 dark brown and white spots in lines. 



4. JASPIDEA, f. 23, Reeve. — Tenuiuscula alta acuminata 

 fulva, fusco alboque variegata et nebulata ; anfractibiis con- 

 caviusculis. — More acuminated and pyramidal than P. lenti- 

 ginosa, with a partly suffused reddish-brown variegated 

 painting. Few specimens are so elevated or so distinctly 

 marked as the one figured by the author above quoted. 



5. ^THiopiCA, f. 21, 25, 28, Philippi. — Solida breviuscula 

 subroseo-fulva fusco variegata plerumque ad apicem et aper- 

 turae marginem roseo tincta ; apice obtuso, apertura subro- 

 tunda, brevi, labio crassiusculo. — More solid and blunt at the 

 apex than P. jaspidea, variously coloured, but generally 

 tinted with rose at the rounded apex and at the margin of the 

 short aperture. Var. f. 25 is so curiously tessellated as 

 almost to deserve specific distinction. 



6. Angasii, f. 27, Philippi. — Pyramidata acuminata, vivide 

 cerisea, ad suturam et infra medium albo fasciata, fasciis fusco 

 angulatim lineatis. — In form resembling P. jaspjidea, but in 

 colouring like P. cethlopica. It has not the rounded apex 

 of the latter. 



7. fulgurata, f. 22, Reeve. — Anguste pyramidata fusca, 

 luteo longitudinaliter fulgurata; anfractibus rectiusculis. — A 

 narrow pyramidal shell with light angular flashes on a dark 

 brown ground. 



8. NivosA, f. 7, 8, Reeve. — Parva pyramidata cinerea vel 

 rosea, fasciis lineisque minute variegata ; anfractibus convexis 

 breviusculis ; labio externo subexpanso. — This might be de- 

 scribed as a miniature imitation in colours, markings, and 

 form, of the more typical variety of P. australis ; but the 

 whorls are a little shorter and more convex. Operculum 

 rounded and thick. 



9. RECTicuLATA, f. 1, Reeve. — Subglobosa grisescens, fluctua- 

 tim et fasciatim variegata, lineis minutis intermediis reti- 

 culata ; anfractibus rotundis, ultimo magno ; apertura ovata ; 

 operculo tumido. — Very ventricose ; the last whorl almost 

 globose. The markings are prettily fluctuated on and between 

 spiral bands, with intermediate short lines.
