 ^ LlENARDIA CHRYSOLEUCA, n.sp. (PL V, Fig. 18.) 



Shell small, columbelliform, white, spirally banded with bright 

 yellow, centrally on the upper whorls, and twice, at the periphery and 

 towards the base, of the body-whorl. Whorls 6, in our specimens 

 imperfect as regards the nuclear, the three remaining whorls 

 angular below the impressed sutures, everywhere closely and 

 obliquely ribbed, crossed by spiral incrassate lines, beautifully 

 gemmate with small globular shining nodules at the points of 

 junction, so that the whole surface is cancellate, the interstices being 

 deep and smooth. Outer lip thickened, crenulate without, eight or 

 nine denticled within, sinus rather narrow, but deep and con- 

 spicuous ; columellar margin slightly plicate, fairly straight ; canal 

 short. 



Long. 6, lat. 375 mm. 



Hab. — Cuba. 



A very pretty, bright little species, which does not appear to be 

 known in either British or American collections ; excepting one, 

 for example, at the United States National Museum, dredged ofi 

 the south coast of Cuba in 150 fathoms ; dead (W. H. Dall in litt.).

Cythara duplaris, n.sp. (PI. V, Fig. 19.) 



Shell solid, yellowish white, longitudinally irregularly but closely 

 ribbed, ribs incrassate ; whorls 6-7, at first sloping, then con- 

 spicuously and broadly angled, the whole surface covered with 

 fine revolving striae, which run in pairs, alternating with very 

 narrow intervening spaces. Mouth narrow, elongate, outer lip 

 thickened, with fifteen small shining white denticulations at the 

 orifice; columellar margin extended, similarly denticulate; canal 

 very short, wide ; sinus shallow and obscure. 



Long. 12, lat. 4'25 mm. 



^a6.— Andaman Isles. 



Though commonplace in appearance, this little Cylliara cannot 

 exactly be matched among the many described species. It seems 

 nearest, perhaps, to capillacea, Reeve. ^ The number of ribs, 

 irregularly set out on the body- whorl, is about sixteen; they are 

 numerous likewise on the two next whorls. 



Veprecula menecharmes, n.sp. (PI. V, Fig. 20.) 

 Shell delicate, pale ochreous-brown, or (var. albescens) pure 

 white, turreted; whorls 8-9, the nuclear itself globular, plain, 

 the next beautifully but microscopically cancellate, the re- 

 mainder longitudinally acutely costate, angled above, crossed by, 

 in full-grown specimens, on the upper whorls, two, on the body- 

 whorl four, spiral raised costae, the interstitial spaces quadrate, 

 smooth, acutely echinate at the points of junction. Number of ribs 

 on the body-whorl eleven to twelve. Mouth oblong, outer lip
