1863.] CHIEFLY FROM THE CUMINGIAN COLLECTION. 431 



alba, solida, transversim lirala, liris cequalibus distantibus validis 

 imbricato-lamellosis, interstitiis lameUis transversis imbricatis 

 confertis undulosis instructis ; regione umbilicali, vel interna, trans- 

 versim valde corrugato-pUcata ; apertura trigonali-ovata. 



Hab. ? California {Coll. Cuming.). 



This species differs from C. antiquus in being conspicuously trans- 

 versely Urate. On account of the last whorl being so greatly pro- 

 duced, the ridges appear to be longitudinal, but in reality they cross 

 the last whorl transversely. 



11. Latiaxis tortilis, H. & A. Ad. 



L. testa ovato-fusiformi, umbilicata, alba, spira aperturam aquante ; 

 anfractibus 6, postice angulatis spiratis, longitudinaliter plicatis, 

 plicis undulatis distantibus, transversim liratis, liris pulcherrime 

 squamulosis cequalibus, carina prominula squamulosa undulata 

 rotundata in medio anfractuum ; apertura trigonali-ovata ; labia 

 l(Evi, convexo ; labro intus valde lirato, in medio angulato, canali 

 elongato ad dextram inclinato ; umbilico mediocri, periompJialo 

 squamosa. 

 Hab. China. 



A beautiful species, very similar to L, pagodus, Jonas ; but the 

 whorls are longitudinally plicate, and the conspicuous squamulose 

 carina is undulated. The colour also is pure white, instead of ful- 

 vous, and the aperture is violet. 



12. CORALLIOPHILA ASPERRIMA, H. & A. Ad. ^^ 



C. testa ovato-fusiformi, umbilicata, alba, spira aperturam tequante ; 

 anfractibus 7, convexiusculis, longitudinaliter plicatis, plicis ob- 

 liquis rotundis, transversim liratis, liris lamellatis serrulatis, in- 

 terstitiis lirulis interpositis duabus instructis ; apertura acuminato- 

 ovata ; labio IcBvi, convexo ; labro intus lirato. 



Hab. ? 



A species most nearly resembling C. scalariformis, Lam. The 

 transverse lamellae are serrulate, giving the entire surface of the shell 

 a very hispid appearance. 



13. CORALLIOPHILA SALEBROSA, H. & A. Ad. ^ 



C. testa acuminato-ovata, subumbilicata, alba; anfractibus 5, planis, 

 in medio angulatis, longitudinaliter plicatis, plicis rotundatis di- 

 stantibus, transversim liratis, liris squamulosis duabus in medio 

 anfractuum elatioribus, unfractu ultimo antice liris (circa 6) 

 transversis validis squamulosis ornate ; apertura trigonali-ovata ; 

 labio Icevi, recto, convexo, canali recto mediocri lato ; labro intus 

 lavi. 



Hab. Guadeloupe (Mus. Cuming.). 



A handsome species, having somewhat the form of a Vitularia. 



14. CORALLIOPHILA NODULOSA, H. & A. Ad. ^ 



C. testa ovato-pyriformi, umbilicata, alba, spira quam apei'tura bre- 

 viore; anfractibus 5, spiratis, postice obtuse angulatis, longitudi-
