1891.] MR. E, A. SMITH ON SHELLS FROM ADEN. 407 



46. BuLLiA (Leiodomus) lineolata (Wood). 



1828. Buccinum lineolutum. Wood, Index Test. Suppl. p. 12, 

 pi. 4. f. 22. 



1834. Buccinum politum (Deshayes from Lamarck), Be'laiiger's 

 Voy. Indes Orientales, Zool. p. 431, pi. iii. &. 1, 2. 



1840-1850. Buccinum bellangeri, Kiener, Coq. Viv. p. 34, pi. 14 

 f. 48. 



1846. Bullia belangeri, Kiener, Reeve, Con. Icon. pi. ii. f. Sa~b. 



Hah. Aracan, Ceylon. 



I do not know the exact date of Kiener's publication, but there is 

 no doubt that it appeared some years after Wood's Index. Wood's 

 type is in the British Museum. 



47. Bullia (Leiodomus) tahitensis (Gmelin). 



Buccinum australe, Chemnitz, Conch.-Cab. vol. x. p. 178. 



Buccinum australe otaheitensi, id. 1. c. p. 202, pi. 154. f. 1477. 



Buccinum tahitense, Gmelin, Svst. Nat. p. 3498 ; Wood, Index 

 Test. p. Ill, pi. 23. f. 109. 



Bullia taheitensis (Gray, MSS.), Reeve, Couch. Icon. f. 11. 



This species has not, I believe, been recorded from any special 

 locality of recent years, and the original habitat, "Otaheite {Chem- 

 nitz)," has not been confirmed. The figure of this shell in Tryon's 

 ' Manual ' is not worth quoting, the drawing being very bad and the 

 colour simply disgraceful ; in fact the colouring of the figures in the 

 whole of this volume (vol. iv.) is so utterly ridiculous that not the 

 slightest attention should be paid to it. Dabs of blue, smears of 

 pink, washes of green, &c., &c. seem to have been applied haphazard ; 

 indeed the production of a nursery would be as near reality. 



48. Bullia (Leiodomus) kurachensis, Angas. 



Bulla {Leiodomus) kurrachensis, Angas, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1877 

 p. 229, pi. 54. f. 6. 



Bullia {Pseudostromhus) kurrachensis, Try on, Man. Conch, 

 vol. iv. pi. 6. f. 90. 



Sab. Kurrachee, N.W. coast of India. 



Besides tlie type presented to the Museum by the late G. F. 

 Angas, Esq., there are three specimens also from Kurrachee in the 

 Cumingian Collection. The specimens from Aden are very pale 

 brown. 



49. Nassa pullus (Linne). 



Hub. Red Sea, Java, Philippines, Aden {Caramagna). 



50. Nassa lentiginosa, A. Adams. 

 Hab. Philippines. 



With this species I would unite N. punctata, A. Adams, and 

 N. velata, Gould. It is considered by Tryon ^ a form of iV^. grandiosa, 



' Man. Conch, vol. iv. pp. 34-5.
