Fig. 4. — Liinkolarla dohcrhji, n. sp. 



This very interesting species is remarkable for its solidit)- and its 

 pupoid form. The white stripes upon the deep chestnut ground are 

 irregular and somewhat wavy, oblique, or ziczac in form. The three 

 apical whorls are smoother than the rest of the shell, whitish or bluish 

 and devoid of striping. One of the three specimens under examina- 

 tion is rimate, the two others being imperforate. 



Named (lohertiji as a tribute to the memory of the collector, the 

 late William Dohert}-.
