286 PARTULA, NEW HEBRIDES. 



but differs by the longer spire of decidedly over five whorls, 

 while auraniana has barely five or fewer. The spiral striation 

 is not nearly so well developed in fraterna, and the second 

 whorl is higher. 



A second example in the type lot is 19 mm. long, but not 

 quite fully mature. Description and figure are from the type, 

 no. 4294 Carnegie Museum.

The shell is oblong-conic, moderately solid, rather narrowly 

 umbilicate ; fleshy-brown under a very thin yellowish-corneous 

 cuticle <with narrow darker greenish-yellow streaks (the 

 cuticle mostly wanting in the two adult cotypes, which were 

 "dead" shells). Spire straightly conic. Embryonic shell 

 rather large, conic, densely punctate-striate spirally, bicolored, 

 the lower part of each whorl brown, darker than the upper. 

 Subsequent whorls convex, marked with growth-lines but 

 without spirals except at the base, which is very closely 

 marked with wavy spiral striae. Last whorl is evenly convex 

 throughout, tapering basally. Aperture ovate, oblique, flesh- 

 tinted inside. Peristome narrowly expanded and reflexed, 

 white on both face and reverse, well thickened within; colu- 

 mellar margin dilated above, distinctly grooved at its 

 junction with the whorl. 



Length 23.9, diam. 11.3, aperture 11.9 mm. ; whorls 5%. 



Length 21, diam. 11.2, aperture 11 mm. ; whorls 5%.

The symmetrically ovate aperture, tapering base of the 

 last whorl and sober coloring distinguish this species. The 

 type lot, no. 4289 Carnegie Mus., consists of two adult shells, 

 both of which I have figured, and two immature ones.
