Bullia (Dorsanum) belangeri Kien.* — Many very fine living 

 examples. Arakan, Ceylon. 



Bullia (Dorsanum) cumingiana Dkr. — Two, evidently of this 

 species, the habitat of which is unrecorded. 



Bullia (Dorsanum) livida Rv. — Two, fine examples. 



Bullia (Dorsanum) vittata L. — Many, some albino, fine living 

 shells. Ceylon, Zanzibar. 



Fam 1 ly COL UMBEL LI D.Li. 



Columbella (Mitrella) euterpe Melv* — Many examples, agree- 

 ing precisely with the original description, the types having been 

 unfortunately mislaid. 



Columbella (Mitrella) fiavilinea Melv.* — Three specimens. 



Columbella (Nitidella) ala-perdicis Rv. (=C laevigata L. var.) 

 Two, in young condition. West Indies. 



Columbella (Anachis) terpsichore Leathes.* — Found both in 

 the Eastern and Western Hemisphere. One specimen, but large and 

 in fine condition. West Indies. 



Columbella (Pygmaea) flavidaLm. — Synonymous with C.flava 

 Brug. Indian Ocean, Japan, Mauritius, Seychelles, New Caledonia, 

 Polynesia. 



Columbella (Pygmaea) versicolor Sow. — A variable species, 

 of wide distribution, and with — according to Tryon — a long array of 

 synonyms. The oldest name for this species is C. scripta Lm., but 

 Linnaeus had previously used this name for a well-known Mediter- 

 ranean species. Indian Ocean, Japan, Philippines, Australia, Polynesia. 



Family MURICLDJE. 



Murex brevispina Lm. — Quite typical. Red Sea, Indian Ocean, 

 South Africa, North Australia. 



Murex tribulus L.* — Several. Owing to the shortness of the 

 spines, and the variable transverse nodulosities on the last whorls, 

 we should consider our specimens as coming under the var. or sub- 

 species M. tenuispina Lm. We cannot see our way to allow true 

 specific rank to this ancient species. 



Murex (Haustellum) haustellum L. — One only, but fine. 

 Ceylon, Indian Seas. Red Sea, China, Mauritius, Philippines. 



Murex (Chicoreus) microphyllus Lm. — Large, and in fine 

 condition. Ceylon, Indian Ocean. 



Murex (Ocinebra) contractus Rv. — Exactly corresponding 

 with Bombay examples. New Caledonia, Philippines, Fiji Islands. 



Murex (Phyllonotus) anguliferus Lm. — In all stages of 

 growth. Red Sea, Indian Ocean, Seychelles, Isle of Reunion.
