with red ; no umbilicus, columella wliite. King's Island only. Long. 28, 

 lat. 30. Not larger in S. A., where it is not common.

Carinidea fimbriata. Siminson, Proc. Roy. Soc. Tasmania, Vol.Z,p. 39. 

 A trochiform, nacreous shell, concave at the base and the whorls flattened 

 at the edge to a kind of flange ; transverse ridges with small scales. This 

 shell occurs in Australia, where it has received the name of Uvanilla 

 iquamifera, Koch, in Philippi, Ahbild. uber Besch., Conch., pi. 4, fig. 9 ; but 

 Swainson's name and genus have priority. Besides, this species would not 

 belong to Gray's genus Uvanilla, which was proposed for sheUs with the 

 edges of the whorls spinous. Swainson's genus is thus characterized fXarc?, 

 Cat. Cyclop. Shells and Shellfish, by W. Sivainson, Lond., 1840, p. 350) : Oper- 

 culum shelly, imperforate, spire pyramidal, acute, base concave and carinated, 

 aperture oval, entire, sHghtly angulate anteriorly, columella turned inward. 



Carinidea tasmanica. Tenison-Woods. Possibly only young of the 

 following. 



Carinidea aurea. Jonas Zeit., f. Mai., 1844. Nacreous, pale, yellow, 

 depressed, with diagonal ribs, which divide and become granular at the base. 

 C. granuUta, Sow., Proc. Koy. Soc. Tas., 1854, p. 40. Mr. Angas follows 

 Jonas in placing this shell in the genus Ldbio, but Oken's Labio, which 

 Gray follows, would include Trochocochlea. See Gray's Brit. Mits. Cat, 

 Common, and S.A. Alt. 11, lat. 17. The shelly operculum is a generic 

 distinction of much importance, 



Astele subcarinatus. Swainson, Proc. Roy. Soc. Tasmania, Vol. 3, p. 36, 

 pi. 6, figs. 1 and 2. This shell, of which only very few specimens have ever 

 been found, was made the type of a new genus, Astele, by Swainson. I sub- 

 join his remarks on the genus, Diam, 28, alt. 23, whorls 7. E. Shell 

 nacreous, pyramidal or trochiform, unarmed, body whorl convex below, no 

 columella, umbiUcus large, closed only by the terminal whorl of the spire, 

 aperture broader than high, margin of lips thin. A. Adams (Zool. Proc, 

 1863, p. 506) has made a new genus named Eutrochus for the same species, 

 not knowing of Swainson's description. The genus approaches very near to 

 Solarium, and has a wide perspective umbilicus reaching to the apex. 



LiOTiA tasmanica. Tenison-Woods. 



LiOTiA INCERTA. Tcnisou-Woods. 



LiOTiA DiscoiDEA, Rceve, Zool. Proc, 1844. Latticed with transverse 

 ribs and longitudinal bars, besides being finely striate. Very like the pre- 

 ceding, but Avithout the curious squamose nodse, Maj. diam. 6|, min. 5. 

 Common and in Philippine Islands. 



LiOTiA AUSTRxMiis. Kicner, Spec. Cone p>l- 4, fig. 7. A depressed white 

 discoid shell with prominent ribs, and longitudinal very fine divaricating 

 lirse ; mouth broadly reflected and coarsely ribbed. Diam. 14, whorls 4. 

 Rare.
