264 MONILEA-MINOLIA. 



delicate spiral striation, wide umbilicus, and broad radiating mac- 

 ulations of the upper surface. 



M. ROSEA Tenison- Woods. Unfigured. 



Shell minute, turbinate, widely umbilicate, rose-color, variegated 

 with white spots, whorls 4, rounded, encircled with white alternating 

 large and small striae ; aperture entire, rounded ; outer lip produced ; 

 inner lip simple ; umbilical margin furnished with a somewhat in- 

 conspicuous white corrugated callous. Diam. 3 mill. This shell is 

 of intense carmine color in some specimens. The outer lip is pro- 

 duced very much from the suture, so as to give the aperture a sunken 

 appearance. The callosity at the umbilicus is only perceptible 

 under the lens in very good specimens. ( Tenison- Woods.}

 separated by an impressed suture, sculptured by oblique very deli- 

 cate strise, bicarinate above ; last whorl obtusely augulated beneath,

Minolia chinemis SOWERBY, P. Z. S. 1888, p. 569, t. 28, f. 13. 



In form like Minolia, biangulata Angas, but much larger, ob- 

 liquely striated, and without the beaded ridge bordering the um- 

 bilicus. The interior of the umbilicus is spirally grooved. (Soivb.) 



M. DEGREGORII Caramagna. PI. 51, figs. 18, 19, 20. 



Shell subdiscoidal, delphinuliform, very fragile, umbilicate ; spire 

 conoidal, depressed, obtuse ; whorls 5, spirally finely striate, in the 

 middle slightly angled or subcarinate, flattened between the carina 

 and the suture ; carina slightly crenulated on the last whorl pos- 

 teriorly ; last whorl rounded at the periphery ; base convex, deeply 

 and broadly umbilicated, very finely corrugated ; aperture elliptical, 

 simple, heliciform ; surface of the spire ornamented with 5 reddish
