impressed at the sutures ; the ground-colour is white, but, 

 with the exception of the apical whorls, a yellowish-olive 

 epidermis more or less shining entirely covers the shell ; this 

 is ornamented with longitudinal zebra-like flames, more or 

 less pronounced. In one specimen they are regular and 

 entirely cover the surface till the middle of the last whorl, 

 below which it is smooth, shining, and spotless. This variety 

 is much smoother than the other, which is more or less 

 covered with the minute cross granulations so common in 

 members of tins genus, while the zebra-like markings are 

 almost obsolete. The mouth is oblong, within bluish, outer 

 lip thin, rounded ; columellar margin sinuous, markedly 

 truncate towards the base.

 undique minute decussata ; anfractibus septem. quinque supernis 

 attenuatis, ventricosulis, ad suturas impressis, duobus ultimis 

 expansis, ultimo apud peripheriam aeuticarinato, carina ipsa

 umbilicarem valde reflexo.

This handsome but very delicate Buliminus seems to us 

 quite distinct from the allied B. tiatalensis, Krauss. It is as 

 conspicuous a shell, of a bright warm brown colour, pyramidal 

 in shape, seven-whorled ; of these the upper tiveare attenuate 

 and small, the last two expanding ; at the periphery is a 

 particularly acute keel, shining and of a red-brown colour. 

 The whole shell, except the apical whorls, is covered with a 

 minutely decussate sculpture. Mouth trapezoid, outer lip 

 thin, angular; columella whitish, reflesed over the um- 

 bilicus, which is narrow but deep. 



Subulina tugelensis, sp. n. (PI. XVII. fig. 9.) 



S. testa attenuata, fusiformi, pcUucida, delicatula, pertenui, albo- 

 lactea ; anfractibus septem, quorum apicali obtusissimo, papillato, 

 cajteris ventricosulis, lajvibus, ultimo producto ; apertura oblonga ; 

 peristomate teuui, simplici ; columellari margine recto. 



Long. 14, lat. 4 mm. 



Hab. Lower Tugela River, Natal. 



An interesting form, more glossy than most of the hitherto 

 recognized South-African species, of a beautiful translucent 

 milky - white colour ; whorls seven, the apical being very
