80 CANCELLARIA. 



ribbed; columellar plaits three, small ; fulvous fawn-color, with 

 a central white band. Length, 28 mill. 



? West Indies : China ; Japan. 



This is the C. scalarina of Sowerby and Reeve ; its West 

 Indian locality is very doubtful, and I think it not unlikely that 

 it will prove to be a variety of G. scalarina after all. C. Man- 

 gelioides, Reeve (fig. 94), is a depauperate shell which may well 

 be referred here ; if identical, its name will have precedence. 

 Another synonym is C. Bocageana, Crosse and Debeaux (fig. 

 92), a Chinese species, which Lischke considers identical. 



C. SCALARIFORMIS, Lam. PI. 6, fig. 95. 



Narrow-ly umbilicated, flat shouldered, distantly narrowly 

 ribbed, the ribs crossing the shoulder, closely spirally striate ; 

 columella two-plaited ; chestnut ash-color. Length, 1 inch. 



East Indies. 



This species is omitted from the monographs of Sowerby and 

 Reeve. Kiener thinks that Sowerby's C. coxtifera and G. 

 articularis are varieties of it ; to these might be added several 

 others, if the species were well determined which I am afraid 

 it is not. 



C. CRISPATA, Sowb. PI. 6, fig. 96. 



Imperforate, whorls narrowly angled above, obliquely longi- 

 tudinally thick-ribbed, ribs projecting at the shoulder angle, 

 decussated with spiral striae ; whitish, with chestnut-brown bands 

 and lines. Length, 1 inch. 



Philippines (Cuming); Red Sea (Tapparone-Canefri). 



Allied to the next species, from which it is chiefly distin- 

 guished by its very thick ribs and want of umbilicus. 



C. CRENIFERA, Sowb. PI. 6, figs. 97-99. 



Deeply umbilicated, whorls flatly excavated at the suture, 

 obliquely ribbed, the ribs spinosely hooked above the shoulder 

 angle, spirally crenately ridged ; columella three-plaited, aper- 

 ture ridged within ; livid fawn-color or yellowish white, often 

 white-banded in the middle. Length, 1 inch. 



Philippines; Indian Archipelago. 



This and several other allied species are probably only 

 varieties of C. scalarina. Lam. G. lamellosa, Hinds (fig. 98)
