Mangilia horneana E. Sm. — We suspect this little Pleurotomid 

 has a wide range, as it occurs at Bombay, though not catalogued in 

 the last list of the molluscan fauna of that region, and Karachi also 

 (Townsend). It has some superficial resemblance to our Jif. himerodes 

 from Lifu, 1 but is quite distinct. 



Mangilia (Cythara) cithara A. Gd. — One typical example. 

 Fiji (Gould), Paumotu Islands (Pease), Lifu (Hadfield). 



Mangilia (Cythara) fusiformis Rv. — One example only, but 

 that in superior condition ; ochraceous brown, obliquely longitudin- 

 ally ribbed, and transversely Urate, the interstices being much minutely 

 and exquisitely longitudinally striate. Philippines. 



Clathurella nexa Rv. — Identical with Bombay specimens. 

 Samoa, Lifu, Philippines, Fiji Islands. 



Family CANCELLARIIDJl. 



Cancellaria (Merica) melanostoma Sow.— One, very perfect. 

 A rare form. China, Japan, Philippines. 



Cancellaria (Trigonostoma) articularis Sow. (=C. scalata 

 Sow.) Red Sea, Ceylon, Mauritius, Moluccas, New Caledonia. 



Cancellaria (Trigonostoma) crenifera Sow. — Not quite 

 typical. Also occurs at the Philippines. 



Cancellaria (Trigonostoma) scalarina Lm.*— Perfect, but 



smaller than the ordinary form, from which they also differ in being 

 more deeply coloured, and darker at the aperture. Mauritius. 



Family OLIVIDAL. 



Oliva (Strephona) gibbosa Lm. — Common. Ceylon, West 

 Africa. 



Oliva (Strephona) ispidula L. — In the usual variety. Philip- 

 pines, Fiji and Loyalty Islands. 



Oliva (Strephona) maura Lm. — Present only as var. sepul- 

 chral is Lm. 



Oliva (Strephona) tricolor Lm. — We consider this species 

 distinct from O. elegans, with which it is associated by Tryon. 



Agaronia nebulosa Lm.*— In all stages of growth. Ceylon, 

 West Africa. 



Ancilla (Ancillaria) ampla Gm. — Some pretty specimens. Red 

 Sea, Ceylon, Mauritius, Philippines. 



Ancilla (Ancillaria) crassa Sow. — One poor example. Red Sea.
