300 DAPHNELLA. 



Genus DAPHNELLA, Hinds. 

 D. LYMNEIFORMIS, Kiener. PI. 26, figs. 60, 89, 90, 93. 



Whorls with narrow, close, revolving ridges, the earlier ones 

 with longitudinal ribs ; white, irregularly maculated with chest- 

 nut, often forming longitudinal zigzag markings. 



Length, 14 mill. 



West Indies, Philippines, Australia. 



D. decorata, C. B. Adams, is a synonym, from the West 

 Indies, and D. patula, Reeve (tig. 89), another from the Philip- 

 pines ; the above widely separated localities appear to be well 

 authenticated. Kiener gave the Indian Ocean and Isle of France 

 for habitats. 

 Yar. FRAGILTS, Reeve. PL 26, fig. 90. 



Shell thin, fragile, transparent, very closely finely reticulated 

 throughout with raised lines, the spiral ones the most prominent ; 

 white. Length, 23 mill. 



Hab. ? (Reeve) ; Australia (Angas) ; Japan (E. A. Smith). 



Mr. Smith says that the Japanese form is much smaller than 

 the type, being 10 mill, long ; I suspect, however, that Reeve's 

 figure is magnified. Mr. Smith also unites this with the type, 

 but it may better be regarded as a variet} f of it. 

 D. CASTA, Hinds. PL 26, fig. 96. 



Shell glassy, spirally grooved, columella twisted ; faintly tinged 

 with pink. Length, 13'5 mill. 



Gulf of Nicoya, Central America, 23 fms. mud (Hinds). 

 D. VARIEGATA, Carpenter. PL 22, fig. 54. 



Very thin, with nine ribs and almost microscopic revolving 

 lines ; yellowish or pinkish horn-color, with one or two narrow 

 chestnut bands sometimes interrupted. Length, 8 mill. 



Sta. Barbara, Cal. 



Figured from a specimen, one of the original lot. A variety 

 nitens has a chestnut and a white band ; from same locality. 

 D. PLUMBEA, Hinds. PL 21, fig. 39. 



Thin, longitudinall} 7 - ribbed ; pale lead-color, narrowly banded 

 with chestnut. Length, 13'5 mill. 



Magdalena Bay, L. Cal., 5 fms. (Hinds). 



I suspect that the preceding species will prove to be 

 synonymous with tlr's.
