204 LATIAXTS. 



21. Eugeniae, Bernard!, R. nodosa, Ad., and R. tortilis. Ad., are 

 referred to this species by Dr. Gray in a short paper in Ann. 

 Mag. N. H., 1867, in which, in a single paragraph, R. Mawse is 

 referred to as JR. Mairse, R. Eugenise quoted as of Beraud instead 

 of Bernardi, and R. textilis substituted for R. tortilis, Ad. ; whilst 

 the adopted name, quoted as R. pagoda*, Johnson, instead of R. 

 idolea, Jonas, caused me to hunt up all the Johnson papers con- 

 tained in the Royal Soc. Catalogue. Dr. Gray remarks that these 

 so-called species are founded on single variations, such as the 

 presence or absence of a keel on the body, nodose plications, etc. 

 R. Eugenise only has been figured (fig. 343). I venture to add 

 Pyrula fusiformis, Chenu, which appears to agree well in its 

 characters. 



R. FORTUNI, A. Ad. 



Not figured, and no dimensions given. It is widely umbili- 

 cated, imbricated, pink in color, and may be a variety of R. 

 Mawse. 



China. 

 R. RHODOSTOMA, A. Ad. PI. 64, fig. 34T. 



Yellowish-brown, with white bands ; pink within the aperture. 



Length, 1-38 inches. 



China. 



The aspect of this species is so decidedly that of a Turbinella, 

 that, although no folds are depicted on the columella, or described. 

 I suspect that it really belongs to that group. In a series of T. 

 carinifera, Lam., in the collection of the Philad. A cad., occurs 

 ah abnormal specimen entirely similar in the wide, carinnted 

 umbilicus. 



R. TURRIS, Morch. PI. 65, fig. 351. 



This was described as a Goralliophila, but its similarity to R. 

 rhodostoma is sufficiently close to make it probable that it may be 

 more properly arranged in the group of Latiaxis. 



Length, 1-.75 inches. 



Hob. unknown ; probably coll . near Montevideo, 8. Am. 



R. ELEGANS, Angas. 



This species, described in 1878, and well figured, is another of 

 the numerous synonyms of Rhizochilus bracteatus, being equiva- 

 lent to the var. babelis.
