Somewhat closely aUied to J/, triquetra of Bom. 



20. MiTRA Marqcesana, a. Adams. M. testd ovato-fiisiformi, 

 anfractibus planis, spird acuta, carneold, maculis albis et lineis un- 

 dulatis, longitudinalibus rufo-fuscis, eleganter pictd, longitudinali- 

 ter substriatd, transversim liratd, interstitiis valde punctatis ; 

 aperturd spiram majorem aquante, columella plicis quinque in- 

 struct d, labro margine crenato. 



Hab. Marquesas. Mus. Cuming. 



Markings very similar to those of M. serpentina, Lamk. The 

 Mitra figured in Mr. Reeve's Monograph, as M. nebulosa of Swain- 

 son, is quite different from that species, and requires therefore a 

 change of name ; I have called it M. propinqua. 



21. xAncillaria lineolata, A. Adams. A. testd ovato-fusi- 

 formi ; spird brevi, subacutd, suturis albis, pallide fulvd, lineis 



longitudinalibus, confertis,fuscis, ornatd; anfractu ultimo cinguld 

 elevatd transversa, ad marginem labri, in dente acuta desinente ; 

 aperturd oblongd ; columella tortuosd, albd, antice plicis obliquis 

 instructd, 



Hab. ? Mus. Cuming. 



A very pretty species, distinguished by the fine longitudinal brown 

 lines.
