turn, margine colutnellari ad insertionem expanse, reflexo, unibilicum 



semi-obtegente. Diam. /naj. 23 mm., mim. 20 ftmi., alt. 15 ttim. 



Hab., southern slope of Mount Kilima-njaro, East Africa (A. B. 

 Percival). 



A very fine species, well characterized by its white chalky appear- 

 ance, the reddish apex, and coloured aperture. The strise on the third, 

 fourth and fifth whorls are fairly regular, and rather thread-like, but 

 upon the body-whorl, especially on the lower surface, they are less 

 even and not quite so apparent. In some examples the whiteness of 

 the shell is broken up Avith pale brown or corneous streaks, as if the 

 texture of the shell was not covered at these places by the super- 

 imposed white layer. 



Several specimens have been presented to the British Museum by 

 A. B. Percival, Esq. 



10. Limicolaria keniana. (PI. IV., fig. 17). 



Ttsta elongata, ovata, imperforata, ccBndeo-albida, strigis a?igustis, 

 lufo-ftiscis oblique arcuatis vel undulatis, irregulariter picta, perio- 

 stracofiavo-olivaceoinduta; spira elongata, siiperne obtusa ; anfr actus 

 sex, cofivexiusadi, incremetiti lineis striati, striisque spiralibus 

 tratisverstm sculpti, plus minus granulati, ultimus et penultimus infra 

 snturam linea impiessa marginati, ultimus antice lente descendens ; 

 apertura inverse auriformis, longit. totius circiter | adcequans, ifitus 

 cceruleo-albida ; perist. tenue, margine columellari leviter incrassato, 

 reflexo, recto, fere perpendiculari, supra obsolete imiplicato, extra fusco 

 tincto. Longit. 50 mm., diam. 25 mtn., apertura 21 mm. longa, 

 13 mm. lata. 



Hab., Mount Kenia, British East Africa (S. L. Hinde). 

 This species is peculiar on account of the thick obtuse spire, in 

 which respect it bears some resemblance to S. dohertyi Smith^ from 

 Uganda. The slightlyoblique lines of growth being crossed by the spiral 

 striae have a granose appearance quite visible to the naked eye. The 

 three apical whorls in the single specimen at hand are somewhat 

 eroded and are of a dirty purplish brown colour. Presented to the 

 British Museum by S. L. Hinde, Esq. 



11. Subulina uncta. (PI. IV., fig. 18). 



Testa elongata, tenuis, pellucido-corjiea, polita, anfractus 8, subceleriter 

 accrescentes, convexi, lineis increnienti obliquis vix cofispicuis sctilpti, 

 ulti?nus elongatjis; spira ad apicem mammillata ; siitura obliqua, 

 linearis, infra linea pellucida marginata ; apertura inverse auriformis, 

 longit. totitis \ haud cBquans; labrum tenue, simplex; colu?nella 

 arcuata, antice truncata, callo reflexo, temdindiita. Longit. 17 mm., 

 diam. 5-25 mm., apertura, 5 7mn. longa, 3 m^n. lata.
