The ribs are beautifully ornamented by three rows of close, sharp, 
erect, slightly curved scales. 
Mr. Sowerby also characterized a new species of Rostellaria. 
RosTEeLLaria curTA, Thesaurus Conchyliorum, part i. pl. 5. f. 7. 
Rost. testd crassd, levi, fusiformi ; apice leviter plicatd ; anfrac-

partem decumbenti ; canali antico brevi, recto ; labio interno crasso ; 
labio externo subexpanso, dentibus sex irregularibus ; colore fulvo, 
fascia latd castaned partem posticam anfractuum decurrente.

The whorls of this species are flatter than in Rostellaria curviros- 
trum ; the last whorl is much shorter and the anterior canal is straight. 
The outer lip being irregular, led me at first to suppose that the spe- 
cimen from which the description is taken might be one of the com- 
mon species in which the completed aperture had been prematurely 
formed, it being well known that R. curvirostrum, in a young state, 
has the beak straight. But a slight difference in the shape of the 
whorls, the broad chestnut bands on the upper part of them, and the 
fact of several other specimens precisely similar having been seen by 
Mr. Cuming at Berlin, have determined me to describe this as a new 
species, which I now do with little hesitation. 
Mr. Gould exhibited a new species of Parrot belonging to the 
genus Coryphilus, whch he characterized as follows :— 
Corypuitus Dryas. Cor. vittd frontali metallice viridi, cerule- 
scente verticem versus ; hujus plumis elongatis et saturate ceruleis ;
