Cominella Bullia Columbella 



acutispira, n.sp. dulcis, n.sp. approximata, n.sp. 



The scales at the sides represent millimetres. 



Although of fairly simple character, I am unable to find any species 

 analogous to this. It has a remarkably elate and acute spire, the 

 rounded whorls being concavely depressed at the top. The whole 

 surface of the shell is crisply nodulously cancellated. I have only 

 seen two examples of - this species, both in the collection of 

 Lieut.-Col. Turton.

Testa elongata, griseo-albida, languide fusco-flammulata, levis, 

 nitens ; spira elata, mediocriter acuta ; anfractus 7, primus obtusus, 

 rotundatus, sequentes convexi, superne spiraliter tenuissime striati, 

 sutura angustissime sejuncti, anfractus ultimus longitudinis spiram
