PHASTANELLA. 
Puate VI. 
Species 17. (Mus. Cuming.) 
PHASIANELLA PERFORATA. Phas. testa minute umbilicatda, 
subgloboso-turbinatd, virescente-albd, nigro aut fusco 
aut rubro varie tinctd et maculata, spird brevi, an- 
Sfractibus subventricosis; apertura ampla, circulari. 
THE PERFORATED PHASIANELLA. Shell minutely um- 
hilicated, somewhat globosely turbinated, greenish- 
white, variously stained and spotted with black, 
brown, or red, spire short, whorls rather ventricose; 
aperture large, circular. 
Purrert, Zeitschy. fiir Malak. 1848, p. 164. 
Phasianella compta, Gould. 
Hab. Mazatlan, Panama. 
This minute shell is rather out of place im this genus. 
It has neither the form nor texture of a Phasianella. 
Species 18. (Fig. a, 6, Mus. Cuming.) 
PHASIANELLA RUBRA. Phas. testa ovato-conicd, rosaced, 
obscuré punctata, ad suturas opaco-albo maculatd, 
anfractibus superné subattenuatis ; apertura parvius- 
culd, columella alba, callosd, conspicue dentatd. 
THE RED PHasIANELLA. Shell ovately conical, pink, 
obscurely dotted, spotted at the sutures with opaque 
white; whorls rather attenuated at the upper part ; 
aperture rather small, columella white, callous, con- 
spicuously toothed. 
Pease, MS. in Mus. Cuming. 
Hab. Sandwich Islands. 
I place this shell also, for the present, in this genus, as 
it has been referred to it by its describer; but I have great 
doubt of its bemg a Phasianella. 
Species 19. (Mus. Cuming.) 
PHASIANELLA STRIGATA. Phas. testd ovato-conicd, sub- 
pellucida, intense purpureo-rufo conspicue remote stri- 
gata ; anfractibus superné coarctatis, deinde rotunda- 
tis; aperturd pared. 
THE STRIPED PHASIANELLA. Shell ovately conical, ra- 
ther transparent, conspicuously distantly striped with 
deep purple-red; whorls contracted round the wpper 
part, then rounded ; aperture small. 
Hab. Mouth of the Gaboon, West Africa. 
The stripes of this very characteristic shell are curiously 
deeply coloured, considering the transparent ground on 
which they are painted. 
Species 20. (Fig. a, 6, ¢, d, e, f, Mus. Cuming.) 
PHASIANELLA PULLA. Phas. testd ovata vel subpyrami- 
dali conicd, varie coloratd, nunc olivaceo nunc roseo 
fasciatim strigatd, interstiliis sepissime minute punc; 
tatis, anfractibus plano-convexis, interdum rotunda- 
tis; apertura ovatd. 
THE SMALL PHAsIANELLA. Shell ovate or somewhat 
pyramidally conical, variously coloured, streaked in a 
banded manner, now with olive, now with rose, in- 
terstices generally minutely dotted; whorls flatly 
convex, sometimes rounded ; aperture ovate.

rally minutely dotted in the lighter parts.
