banded variety, is so different, owing to the greater fineness of the 

 strise, that on examining a number of specimens I think they may 

 well be separated. 



2. Cancellaria t^niata (Thes. Conch, pi. 95. f. 75, 76). Cane, 

 testd elongatd, turrit d ; costis numerosis, transverse striatis, ad 

 angulum anfractuum acute angulatis ; spird acuminatd, apice mam- 

 melliferd ; aperturd interne Icevigatd ; margine acuta ; columelld 

 leevi, biplicatd; colore pallide fulvo, fusco t<£niato.

3. Cancellaria melanostoma (Thes. Conch, pi. 95. f. 78). Cane, 

 testd ovali, longitudinaliter striis noduliferis et transverse striis 

 alternatis minute decussatd ; spird acuminatd, anfractibus paucis, 

 rotundatis ; aperturd ovali, magnd, interne costatd ; labia externa 

 denticulate ; columelld expansd, antice granulatd, triplicatd ; colore 

 pallide fulvo, fusco late fasciato ; labia externa bimaculata, colu- 

 melld fused nigricante. 



The smoothness of the decussating striae, the more oval form, the 

 peculiar dark colour and granulation of the columella, serve to di- 

 stinguish this species from the preceding. 



Mr. Cuming possesses the only specimen which we have seen. Its 

 locality is unknown. 



4. Cancellaria excavata (Thes. Conch, pi. 93. f. 18). Cane, 

 testd ovatd, Icevi ; spird acuminatd, turritd ; anfractibus ad sutu- 

 ram profunde excavatis ; aperturd breviuseuld, angulatd, labia 

 externa lavi, interne costata ; columelld triplicatd, umbilical d ^ 

 colore nulla. 



Hab. South Australia. 



It resembles C. spirata, but the aperture is shorter in proportion 

 to the spire, and the upper part of the whorls more deeply excavated. 

 The shell is umbilicated behind the columella, and of a white colour. 



5. Cancellaria foveclata (Thes. Conch, pi. 103. f. 30, 31). 

 Cane, testd oblongo-ovali, turritd, Icevigatd, obsolete striatd ; spird 

 praductd, anfractibus angulatis, ad suturam excavatis, ad angulum

From the sands in Algoa Bay. One specimen is of a uniform 

 brown colour, and the other beautifully lineated.

 tibus angulatis, ad suturam profunde excavatis, ultima disjuncta ; 

 umbilica maxima, castato ; aperturd triangulari, columelld tripli- 

 catd ; colore fulvo , fusco longitudinaliter fasciato.
