of the species now under consideration. Tliey compare the genus 

 with Action, which, according to them, the shells o( Bullina greatly 

 resemble. Their figures show the spire more or less raised ; and 

 they mention that the species are from Japan, Ceylon, and Aus- 

 tralia. Woodward, in his ' Manual,' gives Bullina of Ferussac as a 

 synonym of Aplustrum, Schumacher, which was founded on the 

 well-known Bulla aplustre of Linne. Bullina of Risso (1826) is 

 the same as Cylichna of Loven, and ought to take precedence of 

 the latter name ; its type was Bulla cylindracea of Pennant. I 

 have two more uudescribed species of Cnjptaxia from the ' Porcu- 

 pine ' Expedition.
