188 PLANAXID2E. 



More attenuately produced and less distinctly angulate 

 than the preceding specimens. Long. 5 4f , diam. 2f mil. It is 

 possibly the Planaxis succinctus of Me Andrew from Suez ? 

 Through the kindness of Colonel Godwin- Austen, I have had the 

 advantage of Mr, Edgar Smith's opinion of one of the Cher- 

 boniane Beef specimens he considers it as Planaxis lineolatus, 

 Gld. 



7. Planaxis ineptus.

Long. 8, diam. 4J, another 4f, 2J mil. ; more or less sulcate, 

 last whorl always more or less angulate ; aperture contracted 

 and not " subpatulous " as in PL lineolatus ; very variable in size 

 as will be seen from the above measurements, generally striped 

 as in the figure of the Conch. Iconica of PL zonatus^ A. Adams, 

 [Philippines ; smooth], sometimes only one, sometimes many 

 banded. It may be an extreme var. of PI. lineolatus, Gld. ? 

 My identification has been confirmed by Mr. Edgar Smith, 

 of the British Museum.
