it somewhat resembles our Hrato Veraghoorensis (antea, p. 59), but is decidedly 
less inflated. 
8. Cypra#a (Epona) eLopuLina, Stoliceha, Pl. XXVIII, Fig. 30. 
Ep. testa globata, valde inflata, ad extremitates rapide contracta atque producta, 
levigata ; apertura angusta utrinque ad margines denticulata. 
Three specimens of this new species were found among the materials left 
undescribed by Prof. Forbes. The species is distinguished by its globose form 
and the narrow aperture with finely denticulated margins; it comes very close to 
the recent Cyp. (Epona) globulus, from which it can hardly be distinguished except 
by the shorter denticulations of the lips. 
Locality.—Pondicherry, in a light coloured sandstone; apparently rare. 
Formation.—Arrialoor group. 
III. Family, —OLIVIDZ. 
The name Dactylus, Klein (Ostrac., 1753, p. 77, pl. 5, fig. 91) most probably 
refers to an Oliva inflata and could be retained for this type of ozrrmvz. Several 
conchologists separate the three sub-families which we have mentioned into families, 
but this hardly produces any essential change in the general arrangement. 
a. Sub-family,—OLIVINZ. 
Gray in his last monograph of the Ozzrzpx (List of Moll. in Coll. Brit. M., 
pt. IT, 1865, p. 7) distinguishes the following genera, Strephona, Ispidula, Ramola, 
(= Lamprodoma, Swainson, H. and A. Adams, Gen. II, p. 615), Carmione, Olaneo- 
phila, Galeola, Anazola, Agaronia, Olivina, Scaphula, and Micana. 
The Oliva vetusta, Forbes, has to be transferred to the next sub-family, only 
two known cretaceous species, therefore, of the ozzrmvz remaining. 
b. Sub-family,—ANCILLINZ, 
The name Ancilla, Lam., having priority before that of Auncillaria, Lam., 
ought to be used. 
Conrad adds two new genera to this sub-family ; 
1. Ancillopsis, Con., 1865 (vide Am. Journ. Conch., I, p. 22), referring to it 
species which are nearly congeneric with Amalda, H. and A. Adams. 
2. Tortoliva, Conrad, 1865 (ibid., p. 143); the characteristic here given 
scarcely differs from that of the next genus. 
3. Monoptygma, Lea. I believe Conrad’s transfer of this genus (taken in the 
original sense) to this sub-family is correct. In his Catalogue of Eocene shells, 
1866, the author quotes four species. The genus must be struck out of the list 
in the family PrraumpDzELLipZ. 
24, Oliwula, Conrad, is by H. and A. Adams considered as identical with 
Ancilla, but it may probably be applied to the transversally ribbed or rugose species.
