This very chaste shell approaches somewhat in form to the Pleu- 
rotoma carinata, Gray, Griff. Cuv. An. King. (Pl. Kieneri, Doumet) ; 
it is of a pale bluish ground, delicately corded and beaded with 
bright ochraceous yellow. I only know of two specimens, one in 
the collection of the Rev. Mr. Stainforth, the other in that of the 
British Museum, purchased at the recent sale of Mr. Inwood'’s shells. 
Prevrotoma Brcsiu. Pleur. testd oblongd, cylindraceo-attenuatd, 
apice acuto ; sexangulatd, anfractibus ad angulos longitudinaliter 
tuberculatis ; olivaceo-fuscd, tuberculis tantum albis ; columelld et 
aperture fauce fuscd ; canali brevissimo.

I dedicate this shell with much pleasure to my friend Dr. Beck, cu- 
rator of that noble patron of conchological science, the King of Den- 
mark. It was found by Mr. Cuming in the locality above cited 
under stones at low water. The snowy-white tubercles which orna- 
ment this brown six-angled shell at the several angles are very cha- 
racteristic. 
CoLuMBELLA.

natd, albd, fusco profuse et minutissimé undulatd ; anfractibus su- 
perne subangulatis, ultimo basin versus striato, striis profundis ;

Mr. Cuming has selected two varieties of this shell, but they are 
not of sufficient importance to require especial notice.

subtilissimé nodulosd et liratd, interdum longitudinaliter leviter 
costatd ; luteo-albd, columelld, labro, et canali vivid? aurantiis ;
