Hah. Natal, Karkloof Bush {McBean). 



A conspicuous shell, easily distinguishable by the author's 

 illustration. Only two specimens, however, were originally 

 discovered, and subsequent search in the same locality has 

 failed to reveal more. It seems therefore just possible that it 

 may eventually prove to be but an abnormal variety of 

 E. lanceolata, Pfr., which abounds in the neighbourhood and 

 with which it has several features in common.

Widely distributed over Natal and Zululand. Specimens 

 in the British Museum from Delagoa Bay. 



A large species, with a shiny straw-coloured shell and 

 comparatively faint striation, sometimes attaining such 

 measurements as 59 mm. in length and 15 in breadth. 



E. micans was described by Pfeiffer from shells collected in 

 Natal by Plant, in the Cuming collection. It seems con- 

 ceivable from the description tliat the species intended by 

 PfeifFer was tliat since described by Burnup as natalensis. 

 But, whether owing to substitution or erroneous classification, 

 all Cuming's specimens, including the so-called type, referred 

 by him to micans in the British Museum are identical with 

 lanceolata. The other more highly sculptured species was 

 therefore left without a name, an omission very properly 

 rectified when it was brought to notice under its present name 

 of natalensis.
