zigzag lines to small spots aiul transverse bands. The 

 interior of the mouth is heaufifully coloured. 



The type is the largest of the only three specimens I have 

 seen. 



Fusns moUis, sp. n. (Fig. 5.) 



Testa fusiform is, solidiuscula, palhde strain inea ; spira acute pyra- 

 raidata ; anfractus 8, leviter convexi, spiraliter subobsolete 

 striati, costis latis longitudinalibus circiter 8 instructi ; anfractus 

 ultimus spirara superans fere la^vis, antice rostratus ; rostrum 

 leviter recurvum, raediocritcr longum ; apcrtura ovata, intus 

 lirata; columella alba, loevis, arcuata. 



Long. 40, maj. diam. 15 mm. 



Hah. ? 



Although this shell is finely spirally striated, especially on 

 the upper whorls, in general aspect it has a peculiarly smooth 

 waxy appearance. 



Pseudomurex crehrilamellosus, sp. n. (Fig. 6.) 



Testa acuminato-ovata, alba umbilicata ; spira acute pyramidata ; 

 anfractus 10, convexi, obscure biangulati, liris numerosis eximio 

 squamosis spiraliter instructi, longitudinaliter late-costati ; an- 

 fractus ultimus latus, perconvexus, basin versus concavo con- 

 strictus ; lira crassa, arcuata, rugose squamosa munitus ; apertura 

 subcircularis, antice breviter oanaliculata, intus sulcata; colu- 

 mella Isevis, leviter arcuata. 



Long. 27, maj. diam. 17 mm. 



Hob. Kii, Japan. 



Very closely and beautifully lamellated throughout. The 

 shell has an acutely conical form, and is clearly distinguish- 

 able from those hitherto known. 



CMorestoma collicula, sp. n. (Fig. 7.) 



Testa depresse turbinata, profundo umbilicata, nigrescens, irregu- 

 lariter rugosa ; spira late conica, convcxa ; anfractus 5, primi 

 complanati, aliter convexi ; anfractus ultimus latus, ad peri- 

 pheriam rotunde angulatus ; basis leviter convexus, area centrali 

 alba ; umbilicus circularis, profundus, latiusculus ; apertura lati- 

 •uscula, intus margaritacea ; peristoma acutum, nigro-fusco mar- 

 ginatum ; columella obliqua, binodulosa. 



Alt. 17, diam. 25 mm. , 



Hah. Hidako, Yesso, Japan. 



'i'his species is nearly allied to C. umhilicaium, Lischke, 

 but the surface of the shell is smoother, lacking the oblique 

 rugose ridges characteristic of that species.
