low these are five other distinct rows of black spines; they are, 
however, shorter, and bend the contrary way, whilst the entire sur- 
face of the shell is ornamented with a number of very fine ridges of 
minute scales. We gladly avail ourselves of the opportunity of re- 
storing to this shell the name by which it is commonly known 
amongst collectors, though not hitherto published.

This shell, which we believe to be at present unique, in the col- 
lection of Hugh Cuming, Esq., is well-characterized, by having a 
double row of large, pinched, stunted tubercles; and the tubercles, 
as well as the entire surface of the shell, is covered with a number 
of purple flexuous ridges, the interstices being white and unusually 
deeply cut.

Hab. Ad insulam Capul Philippinarum. 
A very richly-coloured shell, found by Hugh Cuming, Esq., at 
Capul, one of the Philippine Islands, in seven fathoms’ water. The 
upper portions of the whorls are clothed with a rich golden yellow 
colour, deeply tinged with scarlet or crimson; the lower part of the 
whorls are of a peculiarly soft white, and the umbilicus in all the 
specimens we have seen is coloured with a deep purple lake, entirely 
free from any indication of the yellow that ornaments the obverse 
portion of the shell. 
DELPHINULA ACULEATA. Delph. testé subdiscoided, aculeata, 
albidd, anfractibus perangulatis, angulo spinis squameformibus

spinarum seriebus duabus, aculeolisque squamaformibus in 
seriebus parallelis dispositis, ornatd ; spird depresso-pland.

This shell is not much unlike that of the preceding species ; it dif- 
fers, however, in having the angle of the outer whorl crowned with
