PHILINE. 7 



P. CRENATA A. Adams. Unfigured. 



Shell ovate, white, slightly solid ; somewhat angular behind ; 

 transversely deeply sulcate, the sulci transversely excavated-punc- 

 tate, their margins crenate. Aperture dilated ; columellar margin 

 obliquely truncated in front; lip semicircular, a little produced be- 

 hind and rounded. (Ad.). 



Tsu-Sima 30 fms. ; Korea Strait, 46 fms. (Ad.). 



P. crenata AD., 1. c. p. 160. 



No species has been described resembling this, which is nearly as 

 large as P. coreanica. The edges of the transverse grooves are 

 conspicuously crenate, and the puncta or pits are transversely 

 oblong. (Ad.}. 



P. STRIOLATA A. Adams. TJnfigured. 



Shell small, ovate, white, thin, semipellucid, rounded behind ; 

 plicate lengthwise, transversely striolate, the striolre close and very 

 fine ; aperture dilated ; columellar margin arcuate ; lip regularly 

 semicircular, produced and rounded behind. (Ad.}. 



Tsu-Sima, Japan, 30 fms. (Ad.). 



P. striolata AD., Ann. Mag. N. H. (3), ix, p. 161. 



In form this little species most nearly approaches Bullcea pruinosa 

 Clark, from the British Seas ; but in sculpture it is entirely differ- 

 ent, being very finely transversely striated. (Ad}. 



P. COREANICA A. Adams. PI. 2, fig. 15. 



Shell subquadrately oval ; outer margin rather straight, its upper 

 angle truncated ; spire rather elevated. (Ad}. 



Corean Archipelago, on mud flats (Ad.).

 18, f. 3 (animal). P. coreanica SOWB. in Conch. Icon, xviii, f. 3.

Shell of moderate size, fragile, glassy, pellucid and iridescent ; 

 roundly ovate, depressed, marked with sinuous concentric waves. 

 Apex opaque, hardly indented, showing one whorl. Aperture very 

 ample ; lip rounded above ; columella acute, foldless, openly show-
