202 DRILLIA. 



D. INTERMACTJLATA, E. A. Smith. PI. 11, fig. 90. 



Shell shining, subpellucid, white, with four revolving series of 

 brownish yellow dots between the ribs on the body-whorl, and 

 two on those of the spire; ribs slight, no revolving striae. 



Length, 10 mill. 



Japan. 

 D. FLAVONODTJLOSA, E. A. Smith. PL 11, fig. 99. 



Solid, pale fleshy white, with two narrow reddish brown bands ; 

 coarsely longitudinally ribbed, and spirally lirate, lirae of ir- 

 regular sizes, some of them nodulous. Length, 9'5 mill. 



Japan. 

 D. JAPONICA, Lischke. PI. 11, fig. 88. 



Spire elevated, acute, with a ridge below the sutures; longi- 

 tudinal ribs about eight, rounded, oblique, crossed by close 

 strong striae, and terminating above on the periphery ; yellowish 

 brown with two chestnut bands, or the lower one broader so as 

 to cover the lower portion of the body-whorl ; sinus small, but 

 rather deep. Length, 1 inch. 



Japan, Hong Kong. 



A fine specimen before me has two decided varices on the body 

 and one on the penultimate whorl. The original specimens were 

 imperfect and figures have been published by E. A. Smith and 

 Weinkauff (figured), the former from a worn and rather unchar- 

 acteristic specimen, the latter excellent. Weinkauff considers 

 the unfigured D. latifasciata, Sowb., a synonym. 



D. RARICOSTATA, Smith. PI. 11, fig. 2. 



Shell horny brown, the whorls excavated above and somewhat 

 margined at the suture, with a few strong, oblique ribs, termi- 

 nating above at the periphery, last whorl obliquely grooved at 

 the base. Length, 10 mill. 



Japan. 

 D. LONGISPIRA, E. A. Smith. PI. 11, fig. 3. 



Whorls with six longitudinal ribs, oblique, subnodulous on 

 the periphery, which they surmount, but do not reach the suture, 

 spirally striated ; whitish, with two bands of chestnut spots 

 between the ribs on the spire-whorls, and a third band in 

 addition upon the lower part of the body-whorl. 



Length, 16'5 mill. 



Japan.
