282 MR. E, A. SMITH ON THE [-^P'' ^' 



vel Hhtceo tincfa, rufo punctata ; anfractus 5, vix convexiusculi, 

 liris quinque, oblique granosis cincti, ultimus ad peripheruim 

 acute angulatus, plerumque lilaceus, concentrice sulcatus et cingu- 

 latus, cingulo circa umbilicum maximo, for titer crenato, cceteris 

 quoque plus mi7ius crenulatis vel subquadrate granulatis ; uper- 

 tura trapeziformis, ad columellam bicanaliculata. 

 Diam. max. 13 millim., alt. 6 J. 



The lirse on the upper surface, which do not vary inuch in size, 

 are cut across by deep obhque hnes of growth, so that the granules 

 have an oblique appearance. Those on the ridges of the under 

 surface are squarer, as tiie incremental striae are radiating. 



The granules on the stout lira bordering the umbilicus are much 

 the coarsest, those on the other ridges becoming finer the more 

 remote they are from the centre. 



This species has less convex whorls than S. granulatuin, Lamarck, 

 from the West Indies, not such a deep suture, and considerably 

 finer granulation. It seems to be larger than the Mediterranean 

 S. moniliferum, Bronn \ to have a different kind of granules, and the 

 aperture is distinctly channelled both at the lower and upper end of 

 the columella. 



Solarium hybridum, Linne. 



Hub. China Sea, Philippine and Malacca Islands, Java, Ceylon, 

 Moreton Bay, Queensland, and New South Wales. 



In separating the Mediterranean from the Australian form of 

 ^'. luteum under the name of S. conulus, Weinkauff ' appears to 

 have been mainly influenced by difference of locality. The same 

 might be done in the present instance, for this is, I believe, the first 

 record of S. hybridum from the Atlantic Ocean. Only two small 

 specimens are in the collection ; but these undoubtedly belong to this 

 species, possessing all the characters of colouring and sculptuie met 

 with in eastern examples. 



Solarium archit^, Costa. 



Hab. Throughout the Mediterranean and in the Atlantic, ofT the 

 coast of France and Portugal. 



This well-known Mediterranean species has not been previously 

 recorded from so southern a locality as St. Helena. I have carefully 

 examined the type of S. soverbii, Hanley, and agree, with Monte- 

 rosato^ and Jeffreys*, in considering it the same as this species. 



CypR^A lurida, Linne. 



This species, which occurs in the Mediterranean, at the Azores, 

 the Canary and Cape Verde Islands, and on the African coast, as far 

 as Guinea, has not been met with further south than St. Helei.a. 

 It has also been recorded from i\.scension Island by Lister, and was 

 obtained there by Dr. Conry. Dunker has quoted it from Annabon 

 Island.
