Hub.: Magnetic I. Qiieeiislaiid {kxno\d Umfreville Henn, Esq.). 



This little shell, of the pulcheriinia section of the genus, 

 is most allied to M. angulata (A. Ad.). It was obtained with a 

 hundred or more other small species by sifting shell-sand, kindly 

 brought home at my request from two or three stations in the 

 Eastern Tropics, by Arnold Henn, Esq., of Manchester. Five 

 specimens were found altogether, of which two are now in the 

 National Collection, South Kensington, the remainder in my own.

ILab.: Thursday Lsland {^. Umfreville Henn, Esq.). 



A very beautiful shell. The single specimen found in 

 shingle obtained by A. U. Henn, Esq., from Thursday Island, 

 was to some extent injured by a greenish deposit, not enough, 

 however, to injure the marvellous sculpture and design. The 

 shell is extremely oblique, four-whorled, with many oblique ribs 

 crossed by one very strange median line in the last whorl, the 

 interstices between the longitudinal ribs being densely Urate; 

 mouth circular, umbilicus half-covered. 



After I had drawn the figure of this shell, unique in my 

 collection, it has been most unfortunately mislaid, and it is im- 



J.C, VI.. Oct., t8oi.
