ICO Mr. E. A. Sinitli on Mollusca from the 



liris spiralibus (in aiifr. penultimo G, in ultimo circiter 20) can- 

 ccllati,nodulis subquadratis, sutura profunda canaliculata sejuncti; 

 apertura acuminate ovata, albo-fuscescens ; labrum ad marginem 

 denticulatum, extra incrassatum, intus liris brevis circiter 12 

 instruotum ; columella valde arcuata, callo tuberculato circum- 

 scripto induta ; canalis anticus brevis, obliquus. 

 Longit. 174 mm., diam. 7| ; apertura cum labro 7g longa, 4 lata. 



Hnb. Station 244, off west coa>t of India, 119-124 fath. 



Somewhat recalling N. eucumista, Melvill and Sykcs, from 

 the Andaman Islands (Proc. Malac. Soc. vol. ii. p. 169, 

 pi. xiii. fig. 11), but with a longer spire, shorter body-whorl, 

 with the granules closer and squarer, and the margin of the 

 labrum more denticulate. N. ravicla, A. Adams, is another 

 allied form, but much more globose. As in many other 

 species of Nassa, the upper row of nodules below the suture 

 are slightly larger than the rest.
