314 DAPHNELLA. 



D. STJBVITBEA, Smith. PL 34, fig. 83. 



Ribs about eleven, disappearing a little below the middle of 

 the body-whorl, the lower extremity of which is obliquely five or 

 six striate, the two or three uppermost striae wider apart than the 

 rest ; subpellucid, white, with a thin indistinct brown line, inter- 

 rupted by the costae around the lower part of the whorls, and a 

 transparent pellucid zone at the top, with a second band or series 

 of short flames just below the middle of the last whorl, which is 

 stained with brown at the extremity. L. 4, width 1-5 mill. 



Japan. 



Dunker (Index Moll. Mar. Japan, 26) refers this shell to 

 Columbella in which I think he is correct. 



D. POLITA, G. and H. Nevill. 



Smooth, white, with two bands of irregular opaque white 

 flakes on each whorl, four on the last. Length, 3'5 mill. 



Mauritius. 



Described as a Zafra, but I think it may be referred to Colum- 

 bella. If a Pleurotomid the specific name will need to be 

 changed. 



D. SEMISCULPTA, G. and H. Nevill. PI. 34, figs. 14, 15. 



Ribs about twice as broad as their interstices (represented as 

 narrower on the figures), obsolete on the back of the last whorl, 

 which is transversely striated at its base ; outer lip scarcely 

 thickened or reflected, not as long as the columella, slightly 

 emarginate at junction with the last whorl; horny brown 

 throughout. Length, 3 mill. 



Burmah. 



Appears to me to be an Anachis, in Columbellidre, although 

 described as a Zafra. 



D. PUPOIDEA, H. Adams. PL 34, fig. 92. 



Numerously longitudinally ribbed, sinus short and wide; 

 white, with a broad chestnut band below the periphery, and 

 tinged with chestnut at the base. Length, 7 mill. 



New Hebrides.
