52 N1OTHA. 



name proposed for N. Ittabellei, Reeve, not Orb., N. Keenii, 

 Marr., which I figure from an author's specimen (fig. 282), N. 

 gemmulifcra. A. Ad. (fig. 283). 



X. SPLENDIDULA. Dunker. PI. 1(), figs. 284-287. 



White, shining, sharply granose by the crossing of the longi- 

 tudinal ribs by deeply incised lines ; occasionally marbled with 

 light chestnut, or spotted with the same next the suture ; suture 

 deeply channeled. Length, -6-'75 inch. 



Philippines, Malacca, Polynesia. 



Very close to N. albescent, and perhaps only a variety of that 

 species; the tubercles are more sharp-set, the revolving lines 

 more distant and regularly spaced not occasionally approxi- 

 mating in pairs as in albescens. The synonyms are N. semi- 

 gr.anosa, Dkr. (fig. 285), N. ravida, A. Ad. (fig. 286), and N. 

 densigranata, Reeve (fig. 287). 



N.-nivotsa, Mai-rat, and N. vrispuf.a, Marrat, are unfigured 

 species compared by the author to this form. 



N. PAUPERATA, Lam. PI. 16, figs. 288-291. 



Banded with chestnut on the periphery and at the base of the 

 body-whorl, columella and lip-margin sometimes tinged with 

 chestnut. Ribs becoming evanescent below the middle of the 

 body-whorl, cut into tubercles by the revolving lines, a row of 

 these tubercles below the suture, more prominent and sepai 

 from the rest by a sulcus. Length, -5-'75 inch. 



#. Australia, Tasmania. 



N. lyrelfa. Beck (fig. 289), is a white or blenched specimen of 

 this species, not in good condition, and I think that N. miilti- 

 yranota. Dunker i fig. 290), is the juvenile, and N.ca/wata, Phil, 

 (fig. 271). a pigmy adult of the same species. 



X. SORDHJA, A. Ad. PL 1H, fig. 292. 



Yellowish, obscurely banded with light brown. 



Length. M>5 inch. 



Philippine*. 



The suture is somewhat channeled, the ribs rather sharp, the 

 revolving impressed lines rather faint, This, as well MS the 

 following species may be only varietal forms of N. albescent.
