252 MANGILIA. 



rowly shouldered, pretty closely longitudinally ribbed, the ribs 

 subnodulous, crossed by elevated revolving striae. 



Length, 15 mill. 



Philippines, Japan, N. Australia. 



M. contracta, Reeve (PL 23, fig. 88), is a smaller specimen of 

 the same species; as is also M. Fusoides, Reeve (PI. 17, fig. 11). 



M. FULVOCINCTA, Nevill. PL 22, fig. 52. 



Whorls nine, the first four embryonal and colorless, the others 

 varicosely seven-ribbed, with microscopic revolving strise ; 

 whitish, chestnut banded below the sutures, and also at base of 

 body-whorl, and within the aperture. Length, 8 mill. 



India. 

 M. ZONATA, Reeve. PL 23, fig. 79. 



Shell obscurely shouldered, longitudinally ribbed, ribs smooth, 

 descending 'from the sutures ; white, with a chestnut band at the 

 upper part of the aperture. Length, 8 mill. 



Philippines (Cuming) ; Solomon Is. (E. A. Smith). 



M. ANGICOSTATA, Reeve. PL 23, fig. 85 ; PL 32, fig. 49 ; PL 22, 

 fig. 69. 



Shell turreted, whorls distinctly shouldered, with a few distant 

 small longitudinal ribs, extending to the suture, and much wider 

 interspaces ; light yellowish brown to white ; columella chocolate 

 tinged, often with a narrow interrupted chocolate central line. 



Length, 18 mill. 



New Caledonia, Viti Isles. 



Described without locality, but there can be little doubt that 

 M. melanostoma, Garrett (fig. 49), from the Yiti Isles, is iden- 

 tical, although Reeve does not mention the dark bordered colu- 

 mella. Probably Reeve's figure is magnified. M. scalata, Souverb. 

 (PL 22, fig. 69), is a short variety, pure white with the narrow 

 band, from New Caledonia. Some of Garrett 's Viti Islands 

 specimens are exactly like it. 



M. CLARA, Reeve. PL 23, fig. 89. 



Shell smooth, plicately ribbed, round shouldered; purple 

 brown, upper part of the whorls whitish. Length, 15 mill. 



Hab. unknown. 



The aperture being neither described nor figured, the position 

 of this species can only be guessed at.
