slightly arched. The form of the shell resembles that of 

 Valuta Lamherti of the English Crag.

Hah. ? 



This shell has much the form of V. delicwsa (Montr.), but 

 larger. The dark brown blotches forming the central zone 

 are very conspicuous ; tlie whorls of the spire are slightly 

 angular, and the plica being slightly more prominent at the 

 angle give them a semi-coronated appearance ; the longi- 

 tudinal plicffi are close-set and flattened, being broken up 

 into striate ridges towards the aperture. 



A dead colourless specimen of this species has been in my 

 possession many years ; it measures 45 millim. in length. 

 Excepting for its larger size and want of colour it agrees in 

 every respect with the type^ which I discovered without indi- 

 cation of locality in the collection of Monsieur Granger, of 

 Bordeaux. 



3. Siphonalia Pfefferi^ sp. n. (PI. XI. fig. 3.) 



Testa breviter fusiformis, crassa, straminea, griseo tincta, maculis 

 parvis fuscis profuse ornata, ubique spiraliter lirata ; spira acute 

 couica ; anfractus 7, rotunde convexi, superiores longitudinaliter 

 plicati, plicis rotundatis ; anfractus ultimus ventricosus, antice 

 coustrictus, breviter curvi-rostratus ; apertura subovata, antice in 

 canalem oblique recurvum producta, postice brevissime canalicu- 

 lata, intus lirata, fusco tincta ; labrum arcuatum, acutum, leviter 

 serratum ; columella leviter sinuosa, callo crasso induta. 



Long. 45, diam, 25 mm. 



Hah. Shikoku, Japan. 



A pretty species brought to my notice by Dr. PfefFer, of 

 the Hamburg Museum, after whom 1 have pleasure in naming 

 it. In form it somewhat resembles S. trochulus^ Reeve, but 

 it has a longer spire, and the spiral ridges are much broader 

 and profusely spotted with brown.
