neic Shells from the Falkland Islands. Ill 



extending into a white diaphanous callus which reaches the 

 lip above; labrum simple, acute; aperture rather dilated, 

 broadly ovate. 



Alt. 14, diam. maj. 8 mm. 



Aperture: alt. 8*75, diam. 5"5 mm. 



Ilab. Falkland Islands. 



Separable from L. diaphana, King, the only hitherto 

 recorded species from the islands, mainly by its much greater 

 breadth, opacity, and darker colour. 



All our specimens have lost the apical whorls. 



Chilina fulklandica, sp. n. (Fig. 2.) 



Shell obtusely fusiform, smooth, slightly polished, pale 

 yellowish olive, encircled on the upper whorls with one and 

 on the last whorl with three rowsot chestnut flame-markings; 

 whorls 6, shouldered, sculptured with tine, transverse, closely 

 set, rib-like lines ot' growth; sutures impressed, narrowly 

 margined ; umbilicus very narrow, deep, almost conceded by 

 the reflection of the columella ; columella white, descending 

 rather obliquely, bearing a scarcely perceptible fold below and 

 a well-defined one ab >ve, and diffused into a whitish callus 

 which reaches the point of insertion of the labium with the 

 whorl above ; labium simple, acute; aperture elongately in- 

 versely auriform. 



Alt. 15, diam. maj. 8 mm. 



Aperture : alt. 9*5, diam. 4*25 mm. 



Jrlub. Falkland Islands. 



Some of our specimens are coated with a blackish growth, 

 which, however, we have reason to believe is of vegetable 

 origin. Though allied to several species from Southern 

 Patagonia, notably C. subcylindrtci, Sow., and C. amcena, 

 Smith, we have been unable to refer the present specimens to 

 any of these, and believe that no other species of C/n'ina has 

 yet bten recorded from the Falkland Islan Is. 



Phitinula solidula, sp. n. (Fig. 3.) 



Shell solid, globosely turbinate, smooth, somewhat polished, 

 covered with a thick, pale, pinkish-purple outer layer, beneath 

 which the shell is highly iridescent ; vvhorls 5, tumid, 

 showing faint traces of spiral banding, last whorl bluntly 

 carinate at the base ; sutures impressed ; umbilical area 

 white, having an elongated, narrow, shallov depression; 

 columella white, arched above, descending very obliquely and 

 extending into an iridescent callus, which sometimes reaches
