Ilah. Dassj Krantz, Grahamstown (J. Farquhar) . 



A remarkably beautilul but very minute form, conspicuous 

 for its extreme smoothness and glassy appearance. The 

 whorls are 6^ in number, the apex being exceedingly obtuse, 

 while the prolonged body-whorl is conspicuous. Tiie peri- 

 stome is endowed with five teeth or plaits, there being a 

 columellar tooth situate just above the wholly internal 

 ])lication. 



The alliance of this species is with JE. coJumnella and 

 ci'molia, M. & P. From the former it differs in smaller size, 

 ovate as against rounded aperture, larger and squarer labial 

 tooth, while columnella is not so large, with bifid labial tooth, 

 and mamillate columellar plait produced superficially.

Hah. Majuba, Transvaal {Connolly). 



A compact and particularly neat species, with wliich we 

 have much satisfaction in uniting the name of its discoverer. 

 Its nearest ally would seem to be E. amoh/i, Sturany, ap- 

 proaching in form nearest to the var. elongata, Stur., and 

 differing mainly in the arrangement and proportionate 

 magnitude of the columellar teeth and plaits. 



Erinea cn'spula, sp. n. (PI. YIII. fig. 3.)

 striatis; apertura rotunda, peristomate incrassato, albo, nitido,
