 laris valde prominens, alia ; lahrum expansum, suhrejlexum, 

 carneo-rufescens, marginihus callo tenui juTicfis, columellari 

 magis reflexo, umlilicum seynioitegente. 

 Longit. 78 millim., diam. maj. 33 ; apertura intus 44 longa,

 Sab. Solomon Islands. 



This species is about the size and general form of PI. macfarlandi 

 of Brazier, but differs in having the body-whorl a little longer in 

 proportion to the spire, and the aperture is also more elongate, and 

 the peristome is fleshy red and more expanded. It is more 

 elongated than P/. macgillivrayi, Pfeiffer, and has a less acuminate 

 spire, but it agrees with it in the character of the columellar fold 

 .ind the tubercle above it on the body-whorl.

 Hub. Lugunor Island, Mortlock group of the Caroline Islands. 

 This species was found by ]\lr. Brazier in very great profusion in 

 thick dense bush near the sea-beach under old cocoanut husks, 

 leaves, and decayed wood on very wet or damp ground. 



This species is very like P. (Registoma) complanata of Pease, 

 but differs in having the body-whorl a little flatter above the 

 aperture, the parietal tooth and notch are more distinct, and the 

 columellar slit is smaller and not so deep. Out of seventy speci- 

 mens examined, two have the parietal notch entirely filled up with 

 callus, and in others it is partially obliterated. 



The name proposed by Mr. Brazier may be retained in remem- 

 brance of Mr. Julius Brenchley, whose liberality and kindly 

 disposition were greatly valued by many friends.

 striisque spiralibus tenuissimis obsoletis sculpti, sutura sub- 

 profunda vix obliqua sejuncti, ultimus rotundaius, infra medium 

 plerumque hand maculatus, circa mnbilicum carina ohtusa 

 instructus ; spira conica, ad apicem subacuta ; apertura ovaia,
