MELVILL AND STANDEN: SHELLS FROM LIFU. Io! 
M. (Chrysame) fulvosulcata Melvill, Journal of Con- 
chology vol. v., p. 287, 1888. (PI. IIL, fig. 32.) 
Originally described from Mauritian specimens sent by Mr. 
Robillard to Mr. G. B. Sowerby. Several have now come to our 
notice from Lifu, and the species will doubtless occur in inter- 
mediate localities. The transverse furrows, stained with yellow, 
impart at once a characteristic appearance to the species. We 
figure the original type, from Mauritius.

M. testa pyramidato-fusiformt, nitida, brunnea, crassiuscula,

Two specimens of a little J/¢ra somewhat resembling the 
Mediterranean Volutomitra ebenus Lam., and possibly a tropical 
form of that variable species, though its presence in Lifu would 
hardly be suspected.
