Species 8. (Fig. a, 6, c, Mus. Cuming.) 
PHASIANELLA NiIvosa. Phas. testd ovato-conicd, carneo- 
cinered, nigro spiraliter articulatd et infra suturas 
Jlammatd, lineis subtilibus albis undique regulariter 
cinctd, anfractibus superné subdeclivibus, deinde con- 
vewis ; apertura parviusculd, fauce cerulescente-albd,

THE SNOW-DOTTED PHAsIANELLA. Shell ovately conical, 
flesh-tinted ash colour, spirally articulated and flamed 
beneath the sutures with black, regularly encircled 
throughout with fine white lines; whorls rather slo- 
ping round the upper part, then convex; aperture 
rather small, blue-white within, columella furnished 
at the upper part with a callosity. 
Hab. Ceylon; E. L. Layard. Island of Mindanao, Phi- 
lippines; Cuming. 
A very characteristic species, quite distinct from any 
of the Australian varieties, collected at Ceylon by Mr. 
Layard, and at the Philippine Islands by Mr. Cuming. 
The general tone of its colour is a bright ash-grey, but it 
is very elaborately articulated with black, with a frill 
of short black flames, emerging from the sutures; and 
the colouring of the surface is very finely marked through- 
out with very finely-pencilled lines of snowy white. 
Species 9. (Mus. Cuming.) 
PHASIANELLA FULGURATA. Phas. testd acuminato-conicd, 
roseo-fuscd, hic illic fere nigricante, flammis grandibus 
lutescentibus longitudinaliter fulguratd, lineis albidis 
sublilissimis densé wrregulariter cinctd ; anfractibus 
plano-declivibus, ad basin rotundatis.; apertura parva, 
margine basique rosaceis. 
THE LIGHTNING-MARKED PHASIANELLA, Shell 
minately conical, rose-brown, here and there almost 
black, longitudinally lightning-marked with large yel- 
lowish flames, densely irregularly encircled throughout 
with very fine whitish lines; whorls flatly sloping, 
round at the base; aperture small, margin and base 
tinged with rose. 
Hab. Australia. 
acu- 
The shell collected in the “ Beagle” is certainly distinct 
from any other Atistralian form of Phasianella. It is of 
asolid contractedly-acuminated form, prominently flamed, 
May, 
without any indication of transverse articulations, and, 
the white hair-lines are of quite another type from those of 
preceding species; while the base of the shell and margin 
of the aperture are warmly tinged with rose. 
Species 10. (Fig. a, 6, Mus. Cuming.) 
PHASIANELLA LENTIGINOSA. Phas. testd ovato-conicd, 
cinereo-fuscescente, lineis nigricante-brunneis unili- 
que spiraliter articulatd, longitudinaliter eleganter 
albo lentiginosd, anfractibus superné subdeclivibus, 
deinde convexis; apertura parviusculd, ovatd, fauce 
cerulescente, margine nigricante-brunneo, columelld 
callosa, 
THE FRECKLED PHASIANELLA. Shell ovately conical, 
ash-brown, spirally articulated throughout with dark- 
brown lines, longitudinally elegantly freckled with 
white; whorls sloping round the upper part, then 
convex ; aperture rather small, ovate, bluish within, 
margin dark brown, columella callous. 
Hab. Swan River, Australia. 
Another very distinct species, in which the margin of 
the aperture is a rich dark-brown, The entire surface of 
the shell is articulated with brown lines interrupted by 
numerous delicate blue-white freckles, 
Species 11. (Mus. Cuming.) 
PHASIANELLA JASPIDEA. Phas. testd subacuminato-conicd, 
rosaceo-brunned, minute saturate lineata et albo punc- 
tata, longiludinaliter pallidée flammatd, flammisad su- 
turas roseis ; anfractibus convexis ; apertura parvius- 
culd. 
THE JasPER PnastaNenLa. Shell rather acuminately 
conical, rose-brown, minutely darker lineated and 
dotted with white, longitudinally delicately flamed, 
flames rose-tinted at the sutures; whorls convex ; 
aperture rather small. 
Hab. Zanzibar. 
Of a delicate transparent rose-brown, copious sprinkled 
| with very minute white dots, and delicately flamed, the 
flames at their origin in the sutures being rose-tinted.
