yellow uniform color, and in the absence of any callus on the 

 posterior jjart of the columella. The ribs are fewer, larger, 

 and more distant, and the same differences apply to the lirae, 

 and the outer lip is not thickened. The size is about the 

 same.

Shell small, narrowly fusiform, turretted, subdiaphanous, 

 shining, pale yellow, slenderly and irregularly zoned with 

 red lines ; whorls, including 3 nucleolar ones, 8, sloping, 

 obtusely angular above, closely and neatly ribbed, and con- 

 spicuously spirally striate ; ribs elevated continuous to the 

 suture, sloping, 14 in last whorl ; strise subdistant, passing 

 over the ribs, suture well impressed ; nucleus smooth, ful- 

 vous, polished, apex minutely obtuse, aperture narrowly 

 ovate, sinus wide, labrum thin, acute, lip exactly defined, 

 canal wide and short. 



This may be distinguished from our many described Man- 

 gelice by the smallness and closeness of the ribs, by the dis- 

 tinct and distant spiral striae, and by the lines of color. Its 

 smaller size permit its being mistaken for M. Meredithice 

 nobis ; that shell is pure white, or the bands of color are not 

 often seen. The ribs are also distant and fewer. M. delica- 

 tula is somewhat like Beta mitralis (Adams), which, however, 

 is a larger and stouter shell.

This pretty species is somewhat like G. sculptilis Angas, but 

 it differs from all other forms in having the fine S2)iral lirse
