   The 
  specific 
  name 
  Cyj^rceola, 
  suggested 
  by 
  Sowerby 
  in 
  1832, 
  had 
  

  

  previously 
  been 
  employed 
  by 
  Brocchi 
  for 
  a 
  fossil 
  species 
  (said 
  to 
  be 
  

  

  the 
  same 
  as 
  E. 
  Icevis) 
  under 
  the 
  genus 
  Voluta.

  I 
  do 
  not 
  think 
  it 
  necessary 
  to 
  add 
  anything 
  to 
  the 
  author's 
  admirable 
  

   description 
  of 
  this 
  species. 
  In 
  form 
  it 
  resembles 
  in 
  miniature 
  some 
  

   specimens 
  of 
  the 
  British 
  E. 
  Icevis, 
  but 
  of 
  course 
  is 
  well 
  distinguished 
  

   by 
  difference 
  of 
  coloration, 
  more 
  numerous 
  labral 
  denticulation, 
  etc. 
  

   It 
  differs 
  from 
  E. 
  lachryma 
  (with 
  which 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  united 
  by 
  Tate 
  

   and 
  May 
  ^) 
  and 
  its 
  varieties, 
  in 
  form, 
  slightlj' 
  wider 
  aperture, 
  rather 
  

   less 
  thickened 
  labrum, 
  finer 
  and 
  more 
  marginal 
  denticulation. 
  The 
  

   style 
  of 
  coloration 
  is 
  like 
  that 
  of 
  typical 
  lachryma, 
  but 
  much 
  less 
  

   pronounced.

  The 
  whorls 
  are 
  described 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Melvill 
  as 
  four 
  in 
  number, 
  

   " 
  supei'nis 
  interdum 
  rugosulis." 
  This 
  doubtless 
  has 
  reference 
  to 
  some 
  

   curious 
  oblique 
  raised 
  lines 
  which 
  pass 
  over 
  the 
  spire 
  on 
  to 
  the 
  body- 
  

   whorl. 
  Whether 
  this 
  is 
  a 
  constant 
  feature 
  is 
  uncertain, 
  as 
  I 
  have 
  

   only 
  examined 
  the 
  type 
  in 
  the 
  Museum. 
  The 
  colour 
  of 
  this 
  shell 
  is 
  

   olive 
  excepting 
  the 
  white 
  thickened 
  labrum 
  and 
  the 
  anterior 
  extremity 
  

   of 
  the 
  body-whorl, 
  and 
  a 
  pale 
  line 
  marks 
  the 
  suture. 
  The 
  denticles 
  

   within 
  the 
  outer 
  lip 
  are 
  rather 
  strong, 
  and 
  only 
  twelve 
  in 
  number 
  

   in 
  the 
  type, 
  not 
  fifteen 
  as 
  stated 
  in 
  the 
  original 
  description. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Melvill 
  observes 
  that 
  "the 
  only 
  other 
  known 
  smooth 
  species 
  of 
  

   a 
  uniform 
  green 
  or 
  olive 
  hue 
  is 
  E. 
  Prayensis, 
  Rochebrune, 
  from 
  the 
  

   Cape 
  Verde 
  Islands 
  ". 
  Such, 
  however, 
  is 
  not 
  the 
  case, 
  for 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  

   numerous 
  examples 
  of 
  Maugerce. 
  of 
  a 
  distinctly 
  olive 
  or 
  greenish 
  colour, 
  

   and 
  some 
  specimens 
  of 
  E. 
  lachryma 
  and 
  E. 
  columlella 
  are 
  more 
  or 
  less
