Length 9.7, diam. 2, longest axis of aperture 2 mm.; diam. of 

 the upturned apical whorl .27 mm.

A very narrow species, with a particular style of coloration, 

 which at times, however, is very faint. The widely distributed 

 Syrnola brunnea also occurs at the same locality. S. aciculata A. 

 Ad., of which I have compared specimens from Fiji, is a larger 

 species with more convex whorls.

EULIMIDJE. 

 Eulima dunkeriana n. sp. PI. XXI, fig. 30. 



A glossy, white, straight species, remarkably thick above, being 

 thus somewhat cylindric. Whorls 9J-, a trifle convex, the linear 

 suture being margined below (at least on 1he upper half of the 

 shell) with a translucent band (sometimes enclosing a white band), 

 one-fourth to one-third the width of the whorl, the lower margin 

 of which, in some lights, looks like the suture itself, though there 

 is no impression at that place. At the last half-whorl there is an 

 impressed varix-line ; another in line with it is on the preceding 

 whorl, while the next, earlier whorl shows a similar impression 

 somewhat in advance of these. On another specimen about 1 mm. 

 shorter, and evidently not full grown, there is on the last whorl a 

 single varix-line. The aperture is narrowly and acutely ovate; 

 lip simple, a little obtuse. Length 11.2, diam. 2.6, longest axis 

 of the aperture 3.2 mm.

Close to E. philippiana (Dunker), 11 which was taken at Kama- 

 kura by Mr. Frederick Stearns; but E. dunkeriana differs in the 

 much broader form. E. philippiana has not been well figured. 

 A specimen from Kamakura before me has an impressed varix-line 

 near the end of the penultimate whorl, and only falling a little
