104 MELVILL AND STANDEN : SHELLS FROM LIFU. 
L. (Peristernia) aureotinctus Lamarck.—One specimen in 
the Manchester Museum, one in J. C. Melvill’s collection. 
L. (Peristernia) chlorostomus Sowerby = L. crenulatus 
Kiener.—Three nice specimens. 
L. (Peristernia) incarnatus Deshayes.—Several specimens 
in various stages. 
L. (Peristernia) nassatulus Lamarck. —Several. 
Famity TURBINELLIDZ. 
Cynodonta ceramica Kiener.—Two small specimens. 
C. cornigera Lamarck.—Several immature specimens. 
C. imperialis Reeve=C. tubifera Anth.—Two specimens. 
Famity BUCCINIDZ. 
Tritonidea (Cantharus) gracilis Reeve. 
T. (Cantharus) undosus Linné. 
T. (Cantharus) marmoratus Reeve. 
A few specimens of each, mostly worn, 
T. (Cantharus) menkeanus Dunker.—Our only example 
agrees very well with Japanese specimens of Dunker’s 
species in J. C. Melvill’s collection. 
Engina alveolata Kiener.—One or two examples. 
E. astricta Reeve.—Several good specimens showing some 
variation. 
E. iodosia Duclos. (PI. III., fig. 20).—A most interesting re- 
discovery of a lost species, which has not been with 
absolute certainty identified by any conchologist since 
the time of the original describer, although its identity 
was suspected by the late Mr. G. W. Tryon, Junr. It 
appears to run into its allies, Z. monzlifera Reeve, and £. 
echinata Pse. (both of which will have to be merged in 
todosia) and exactly resembles Duclos’ figure. These figures 
are considered by some to be fantastic and artificial, so 
many — exceeding fifty species —having been thus de- 
scribed by Duclos, and not identified since, mostly apper- 
taining to the genera Columbella, Engina and Oliva; but 
J.C., viii., Oct. 1895.
