 Andaman Islands, 194 fath. 



The colour-band on the body-whorl upon close examination 

 is seen to be longitudinally streaked. 



22. Ancilla glans. 



Testa gracilis, acuminato-ovata, grisea, supra callo rufo-fuscescente 

 induta, circa basin rufescens ; spira acuminata, ad apicem sub- 

 mamillata; anfractus 8, planiusculi, sutura callo plerumque obscu- 

 rata sejuncti, viltimus elongatus, convexiusculus, longitudinaliter 

 tenuiter striatus ; apertura angusta, longit. totius -i adaequans ; 

 labrum tenue, antice ad basin leviter incrassatum, supra prope 

 suturam baud profunde sinuatum ; columella inferne alba, reflexa, 

 crassa, oblique sulcata. 



Longit. 34 millim., diam. 12 ; apertura 20 longa, 5 lata. 



Hab. Station 233, off Andaman Islands, 185 fath. 

 A very distinct species on account of its slender form, 

 recalling son)evvhat that of a narrow pointed acorn. 



23. Scalaria suhcasta. 



Testa elongata, gracilis, alba, imperforata ; anfractus normales 

 decern convexi, sutura obliqua profunda sejuncti, lamellis nume- 

 rosis tenuibus acutis reflexis, superne prope suturam prodactis 

 vel subspinosis instructi, inter lamellas transversim tenuissirao 

 striati; apertura subcircularis ; peristoma expansum, reflexum, 

 antice hand profunde subsinuatum. 



Longit. 22 millim., diam. 7 ; apertura intus 4 longa. 



Hab. Station 232, off Travancore coast, 430 fath. 



Closely related to S. casta, A. Adams, from Japan, but 

 with more slowly increasing whorls, more numerous laraellje, 

 finer spiral strise, &c. The lamellse are closer together upon 

 the upper than upon the last two whorls, numbering about 

 twenty-four upon the former and sixteen upon the latter. 

 One example. 



24. Scalaria bengalensi's. 



Testa subulata, turrita, imperforata, alba ; anfractus perconvexi, 

 sensim accrescentcs, sutura obliqua sejuncti, laraellia numerosis 

 tenuissimia leviter obliquis et retiexis instructi, in interstitiis 

 spiraliter striati ; peristoma paulo incrassatum, expansum, et 

 redexura. 



Longit. \iO miUim., diam. 11 ; apertura intus 6 longa.
