304 DAPHNELL \. 



D. CRENULATA, Pease. PL 25, fig. 55. 



White, spirally finely ridged, the interstices striated, longitu- 

 dinally faintly and obsoletely irregularly ribbed ; sutures bor- 

 dered on each side by a crenulated rib, the crenulations connected 

 obliquely by a short ridge ; sinus broad and deep. 



Length, 7 mill. 



Central Polynesia. 

 D. AXIS, Reeve. PL 26, fig. 85. 



Whorls two-keeled round the upper part, spirally faintly 

 ridged beneath ; sinus very deep ; whitish, somewhat indistinctly 

 stained with orange-brown. Length, 23 mill. 



Philippines (Cuming). 

 D. CURTA, Pease. PL 27, fig. 16. 



Strongly decussately granular, white. Length, 4-5 mill. 



Paumotus Is. 

 D. INQUINATA, Reeve. PL 26, fig. 98. 



Shell spirally ridged, closely longitudinally striated, sinus 

 deep ; whitish, stained here and there with orange-brown. 

 Length, 9 mill. 



Philippines. 

 D. PLURICARINATA, Reeve. PL 26, fig. 81. 



Shell encircled by numerous sharp keels, the interstices lon- 

 gitudinally striate, sinus rather large ; whitish, stained with 



streaks of orange-brown. Length, 7*5 mill. 



Philippines. 



Very closely allied to D. axis, Reeve, but only one-third the 

 size of the figure of that species, if the latter be not magnified. 



D. TICAONICA, Reeve. PL 26, fig. 84. 



Whorls rather ventricose, spirally irregularly ridged, inter- 

 stices between the ridges very minutely latticed, sinus small ; 

 whitish, flamed here and there with orange-brown. 



Length, 12 mill. 



Philippines. 



The figure of the above species exhibits some slight peculiar- 

 ities, yet I suspect that all the forms having similar carinated 

 sculpture and flamed coloring should be referred to one species.
