410 MR. E. A. SMITH ON SHELLS FROM ADEN. [J'^I'^ ^^t 



66. Cancellaria melanostoma, Sowerby. 



Hub. ? 



The locality of this species has not been recorded in any of the 

 monographs. 



67. Cancellaria hystrix. Reeve. 



Hab. Mauritius. 



Two specimens collected by Mr. Baynham have the two purplish 

 bands on the body-whorl much darker than Reeve's type. 



68. Cancellaria scalarina, Lamarck. 



Hab. Isle de France (Kiener). 



The specimen from Aden agrees very fairly with Kiener's figure ^ 

 of this species. I am inclined to think that the shell identified by 

 Sowerby " as this species is correctly determined, although Crosse ^ 

 has held a different opinion. 



69. MiTRA GRANATiNA, Lamarck. 



Mitra granatina, Kiener, Coq. Viv. p. 16, pi. 4. f. 10. 

 Mitra scabriuscula. Reeve (? Valuta scabricula of Linn.), Con. 

 Icon. pi. 2. f. 35. 



Hab. Philippines (Reeve) ; Viti Islands {Tryon). 



70. Mitra ferruginea, Lamarck. 



Hab. Islands of Annaa and Taheite (Reeve). 



The specimen from Aden has the form and sculpture of this 

 species as depicted by Reeve, but the brown colour is replaced with 

 bright red, like that of M. rubritincta, which, as suggested by 

 Tryon, is probably only a variety of this species. 



71. Mitra scutulata, Lamarck. 



jHab. Philippines, Mergui. 



Two specimens from Aden are connecting-links between this 

 species and M. amphorella, Lamarck. They have the white zone at 

 the upper part of the whorls like the latter and variegated markings 

 like the former ; the impressed transverse fine lines are of a red tint, 

 and the whole surface is covered with a thin olivaceous epidermis. 



72. Mitra literata, Lamarck. 



Hab. " Red Sea, Java, Mauritius, S. Africa, PhiHppines, Poly- 

 nesia" (Tryon). 



In the two specimens from Aden the rich brown colour predomi- 

 nates over the white. 



73. Turris intermedia (Kiener). 



Hab. Moluccas (Reeve) ; Madagascar (Kiener) ; East Coast of 

 Africa, Nicobar Islands, Ceylon, Malay Archipelago (Martens).
