are redder. It is likewise a smaller shell, but the true distinction rests on the one having the 

 lip always smooth and the other having it broken into little teeth. 



EBURNA PACIFICA. 



Testa Tentricosa, maculis fulvis, fasciisque albis ornata ; spirse angustse, acutse, suturis 

 integris. 



Shell ventricose with fulvous spots and white bands : spire narrow, acute, suture entire. 

 From the South Seas. 



E. VALENTIANA. 



Testa ventricosa, maculata ; aperturse longitudine spirae longitudiuem superante ; spira 

 anfractibus 5 convexis, suturis alyeatis : basi balteo concavo cincta. 



Shell ventricose, spotted : spire shorter than the aperture, of five convex volutions : suture 

 channelled : base with a concave belt. Distinct from E. Spirata by its shorter and less acute 

 spire which has not six whorls as the latter, the channel or groove also which separates them is 

 less broad and the basal belt not convex but concave. 



STROMBUS INERMIS. 



Testa nodulosa, transversa sulcata : labio exteriore dilatato rotundato, antice integro : lobo 



basali tantura nou obsolete : apertura Isevi alba. 

 Lister, 8561. (good). 



Shell unarmed or slightly nodulous, transversely grooved ; outer lip dilated, rounded, and 

 above entire ; basal lobe nearly obsolete : aperture smooth, white. Nearest allied to S. Fasci- 

 atus. In some specimens, the small nodides on the body-whorl are prominent, but in most 

 instances they are wanting. Not uncommon. 



S. GRANULATUS. 



Testa nodosa ; spira producta : labii exterioris supra contracti margine inflexo, intus 



granulate ; apertura nivea. 

 Wood's Cat. Sup. fig. 21. 



Shell nodulous ; spire produced, outer lip above contracted, margin inflexed, within 

 granulated ; aperture snowy white. 



MITRA DIADEMA, (THIARELLAj. 



Testa baud costata, sulcis remotis, transversis, intus puuetatis ornata; anfractibus coro- 

 natis ; spiraj iucrassatse, aperturseque longitudine eadem : apice acute : labie 

 exteriore denticulate : columella 4 plicata. 



Shell not ribbed, with transverse remote grooves, punctured within ; volutions coronated : 

 spire thickened of equal length with the aperture : outer lip toothed : pillar four plaited.
