Cerifhiuin Shoplundi, sp. n. (1*1. IX. H^. 3.) 



C. testa elongato-fusiforrai, solidula ; spiru supra multura attunuata, 

 albo-cineresceiite ; anfractibiis 10, sex supornis parvis, (juatuor 

 ultimis longitudiualitcr irregulariter costulatis et varicosia, in 

 ultimo hie costis oranino cvanidis, illic a medio usque ad basin, 

 varicibus albesccntibus, anfractibus spiraliter duplicato sulcorum 

 ordine pra?ditis, interstitiis transversim et interruptim cin**reo- 

 nodiilosis vel lineatis, sex in ultimo anfractu, tribus in penultimo 

 ordinibus ; apertura ovata, labro incrassato, intus (luimnie-sulcato, 

 sulculis rubro-tinctis ; columella obliqua, alba, iucrassata, brevi 

 rostra ta. 



Long. 18, lat. 8 mm. 



All elegant CeritJu'um, most nearly allied, in my opinion, to 

 the larger and coarser C. monili/erum, Dufr., from the Piiilip- 

 pines, the chief distinctive characters besides those of size 

 lying in the great attenuation of the upper whorls, the distinct 

 ribs, white varices, and the fine red furrowed lines just below 

 the iimer edge of the outer lip. 



Several examples. It gives me much pleasure to connect 

 with this pretty species the name of its discoverer. 



Dittium chrysoinalhim*, sp. n. (PI. IX. fi^. 4.) 



B. testa fusiformi, solida, alba, ocbraceo-vanegata ; anfractibus 

 decern, apicalibus . . . ?, caiteris apud suturas multum impressis, 

 arcto lougitudiualiter coatatis, costis regulariter, quasi spiraliter 

 nodulosis, idtimo, penultimo, et antepenultimo anfractu quatuor, 

 Cieteris tribus gemuiarura ordinibus praeditis, in ultimo infra 

 medium evanidis, inde, usque ad basin, pulehre spiraliter lirato ; 

 apertura breviter ovata, intus albescente, labro pauUum eft'uso, 

 subquadrato, margine columcllari oblique, ad basin brevissime 

 rostrato. 



Long. 6, lat. 2 mm. 



A very delicately variegated Bittiuin^ not nearly akin to 

 any species with which I am cognizant. It is white, fusiform, 

 with regular gemmate ribs, the disposition of these gemnne 

 giving an appearance of spirals round the whorls, so regularly 

 are they disposed ; there are three rows of these in the upper 

 whorls, four in the three lowest ; in the body-whorl the ribs 

 disappear below the middle, whence to the base are to be 

 seen s|)iral clear-cut liraj ; the mouth is somewhat comj)ressed, 

 outer lip rather effuse, beak very short, columella obli<jue. 

 The variegation of yellow-brown and white is most pronounced 

 in the last two whorls.
