slightly arched. The form of the shell resembles that of 

 Valuta Lamherti of the English Crag.

 formibus ti'iseriatim dispositis ornata ; spira couica, acutiuscula, 

 mediocriter longa, apice obtuso ; sutura anguste canaliculata ; 

 anfractus oh, eonvexi, obtusissime angulati, primi 2 Iteves, se- 

 qucntes longitudinaliter plicati, plicis nuTuerosis confertis planu- 

 latis, in anfractu ultimo evauidis ; anfractus ultimus ovatus ; 

 apertura mediocriter lata, intus laevis ; labium arcuatum, vix

Hah. ? 



This shell has much the form of V. deliciasa (Montr.), but 

 larger. The dark brown blotches forming the central zone 

 are very conspicuous ; the whorls of the spire are slightly 

 angular, and the plica? being slightly more jjrominent at the 

 angle give them a semi-coronated appearance ; the longi- 

 tudinal plicse are close-set and flattened, being broken up 

 into striate ridges towards the aperture. 



A dead colourless specimen of this species has been in my 

 possession many years ; it measures 45 millim. in length. 

 Excepting for its larger size and want of colour it agrees in 

 every respect with the type^ which I discovered without indi- 

 cation of locality in the collection of Monsieur Granger, of 

 Bordeaux. 



3. Siphanalia Pfefferi, sp. n. (PI. XI. fig. 3.) 



Testa breviter fusiformis, crassa, straminea, griseo tincta, maculis 

 parvis fuscis profuse ornata, ubiquc spiraliter lirata ; spira acute 

 couica ; anfractus 7, rotunde eonvexi, superiores lougitudinaliter 

 plicati, plicis rotundatis ; anfractus ultimus ventricosus, antice 

 constrictus, breviter curvi-rostratus ; apertura subovata, antice in 

 canalem oblique recurvum producta, postice brevissime canalicu- 

 lata, intus lirata, fusco tincta ; labrum arcuatum, acutum, leviter 

 serratum ; columella leviter sinuosa, callo crasso induta. 



Long. 45, diam, 25 mm. 



Hah. Shikoku, Japan. 



A pretty species brought to my notice by Dr. PfefFer, of 

 the Hamburg Museum, after whom 1 have pleasure in naming 

 it. In form it somewhat resembles S. trochulus, ReevCj but 

 it has a longer spire, and the spiral ridges are much broader 

 and profusely spotted with brown.
