costis longitudinalibus acutis (in anfr. ultimo circa 12 versus 

 peripheriam obsoletis) incrementique striis ornati, et sulco levi 

 supra costas continue superne divisi ; anfr. ultimus magnus, lira 

 acuta circa caudam cinctus ; columella fusca. 

 Long. 11 miU., diam. 3|. 



Hah. Persian Gulf [Colonel Pelly). 



This species has no spiral sculpture. The longitudinal ribs 

 are thicker at the top ; and being cut across by the narrow 

 transverse furrow a little below the suture, the appearance of 

 a narrow infrasutural belt is thus produced. 



Terebra [Myurella) fuscocincta, sp. nov. 



Testa parva, subulata, nitens, albida vel cornea, lineis duabus fuscis 

 cincta, altera saturatiore paululum infra suturam, altera fere ad 

 anfraetuum basim ; anfract. ultimi basis fusca ; anfr. lU, convexi- 

 usculi, infra suturam leviter constricti, costis validis, acutis, 

 arcuatis, superne subtubercularibus (in anfr. ultimo circiter 10 

 vix ad basim attenuantibus) instructi ; columella brevis ; cauda 

 lira distincta cincta ; canalis brevis, latus. 



Long. 8 mill., diam. 2. 



Var. anfr. planiusculis, costis rectis munitis. 



Hob. Persian Gulf [Colonel Pelly). 



This species is coloured somewhat like pumilio, but is at 

 once distinguished from that form by the absence of the trans- 

 verse striation and by the existence of fewer ribs. The upper 

 brown line or band is quite at the top of the whorls vapuniilio^ 

 whereas in the present species it is a little below the suture, 

 colouring a slight depression or constriction which exists there. 



The variety is allied to tenera, Hinds, which, however, is 

 shorter, has fewer ribs, and wants the brown line near the 

 base of the whorls and that around the periphery. 



Terebra [Myurella] MacAndreion, sp. nov. 



Testa parva, breviter subulata, parum nitida, albida, zonis duabus 

 (supera paululum infra suturam purpureo-nigricante, infera ali- 

 quanto suturam supra fuscescente costis albidis fere interrupta) 

 cincta; anfract. 11, convexiusculi, superne leviter constricti ; costis 

 longitudinalibus parvis superne impressione spirali levi divisis 

 (in anfr. ultimo 12-13 basi sensim attenuatis) instructi, et striis 

 gracillimis, creberrimis, spiralibus ornati ; anfr. ultimus zona 

 tertia fuscescente infra peripheriam cinctus ; columella brevis, pur- 

 purascens ; labrum aliquanto expansum ; canaHs perbrevis, latus. 



Long. 13| mill., diam. 4.

This is one of the very numerous and beautiful species pre- 

 sented to the British Museum by the late and deeply lamented
