122 MELVILL : NOTES UPON CYPR^/E. 



In size the specimen is in accord with Kiener's plate. It is 

 in most beautiful condition, which, I take it, the type was not, 

 and accordingly it is seen to be delicately transversely banded 

 with one central fascia, the ground of the shell being whitish 

 on each side of this band, while, hardly distinguishable without 

 a lens, are some pale round small spots, as in C. irrorata (Sol.), 

 only less distinct, and it has many lateral small brown spots. 

 The extremities are produced and somewhat beaked ; at each 

 extremity are two dark orange spots. The description, as given 

 by Kiener, seems very accurate, excepting for the above- 

 mentioned dorsal spots ] the type specimen being probably 

 worn and decorticated. 



The examination of this very beautiful little shell, con- 

 spicuous for its numerous delicate and small teeth, elongate 

 form, and, as already said, slightly recurved and beaked 

 extremities, decorated with four orange spots, two at each 

 extremity, proves it to be most nearly allied to the following,
