94 ANCILLARTA. 



brown-tinged at the suture and above the fasciole, columellar 



plaits brown. Length, '75 inch. 



Habitat unknown. 



A. fasciata, Reeve (fig. 22), appears to be the same species. It 

 may be the young of A. marginata, Lam., from which the brown 

 columella appears to be the principal distinctive character. 



A. AMPLA, Gmelin. PL 2, figs. 23, 24. 



Cylindrically oblong, acuminated above, inflated below, rather 

 thin ; white, often orange-tinted on the spire.

Red Sea, Ceylon, Mauritius, Philippines. 



A. eylindrica, Sowb. (fig. 24), is the young. 



A. RUBIGINOSA, Swainson. PI. 37, fig. 25 ; PJ. 38, figs. 26, 27. 



Cinnamon-brown, with an enameled lighter band at the suture, 

 and a shallow impressed one above the fasciole.

A. mamillata, Hinds (fig. 26), and A. albo-callosa, Lischke (fig. 

 27), are synonyms. 



A. AUSTRALTS, Sowb. PI. 38, figs. 28-33. 



Lead-color or violet-brown, spire and upper portion of body- 

 whorl, as well as the fasciole enveloped in a yellowish callus, 

 marbled with chestnut. Length, *75-l*75 inches. 



Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, Cape. 



This is a shorter species than A. rubiginosa; yet I separate it 

 with hesitation. A. pyramidalis. Reeve (fig. 29), and A. tricolor, 

 Gray (fig. 30), a juvenile, A, mucronata, Sowb. (fig. 31), probably, 

 and possibly A. obtusa, Swains, (figs. 32, 33), from the Cape of 

 Good Hope, are synonyms. 



A. MONTROUZIERI, Souverbie. J?l. 38, fig. 34. 



Pinkish white, or light fawn^color, the spire and an upper 

 band of the body-whorl invested with a thick flesh-colored or 

 slightly brownish callus ; sometimes the spire and fasciole are 

 pure white ; operculum oblong, ratlier large and thin. 



Length, 1-1-5 inches, 



New Caledonia.
