and more or less spotted and dotted with the same colour. The 

 outer lip and the varix on the left also are marked with three equi- 

 distant red spots corresponding to three obscure transverse bands. 



5. Marginella punctilineata. (PI. V., fig. 5). 



Testa parva, pallida vel dilute rosea, lineis gracilibus longitudinalibus 

 fusco punclatis ornata, Levis ; spi/a brevis, conoidea, ad apicem 

 album obtusa ; anfradus 4^ celeriter crescenles, ultimus superne 

 declivis, et obtuse vel obsolete angulatus, infra leviter convexiusculus, 

 ad labrum paulo ascendens ; apertura augusta, intus fuscescens ; 

 labrum valde incrassatum, album, extra roseo tindum, intus vix 

 denticulatum, superne leviter sinuatum ; columella quadriplicata, 

 duobus i?iferioribus quam superioribus paulo maj'oribus. Longit. 9^ 

 mm., diam. 5 J. Apertura aim labro 8 longa, intus \\ lata. 

 Hab., Umkomaas, Natal (Burnup). 

 The fine lines under a lens are seen to be minutely punctate, and 



they are crossed by two faint pale zones, one at the shoulder of the 



body-whorl, the other somewhat below the middle. 



6. Fenella natalensis. (PL V., fig. 6). 



Testa pupoidea, ad apicem acuta, albida, zonis duabus pallide flavis 

 indistindis cinda, i?tterdum omnino rufescens, costis longitudinalibus 

 lirisque spiralibus plus minus fortiter cancellata ; anfradus 8, 

 superiores 1-2 Iceves, rotundati, ties sequentes in medio angulati, 

 cceteri convexiusculi ; apertura ovata, superne acuta ; peristoma 

 simplex, acutum, margine columellari incrassato, ad basim reflexo, 

 superne callo labro iuncto. Longit 5 mm., diam. if. 

 Hab. Cato's Creek, near Durban (Burnup). 



The form is rather variable, some examples being narrower and 

 more cylindrical than others. The strength of the cancellation also 

 varies, the longitudinal costas on the penultimate whorl numbering 

 from sixteen to twenty-two, and the spiral ridges from four to five. 

 The latter on the body-whorl are about ten in number, those around 

 the base being only feebly crossed by the longitudinals. 



This species is probably the F. fulgida C. B. Adams from Natal, 

 of Nevill's Hand List, Moll. Ind. Mus., part 2, p. 116, F. fulgida, I 

 believe to be a manuscript name imposed upon this species by 

 A. Adams, specimens so named having been obtained by the 

 Museum from the collection of H. Adams. 



7. Eulima munda. (PI. V., fig. 7). 



Testa parva, polita, albido-subpellucida, fere recta, subulata, gracilis, 

 acuta ; anfradus 1 2 fere plani, regulariter letite accrescentes, supra 

 pellucide marginali, ultimus mediocriter elongalus ; apertura inverse 

 pirifoj mis, longit. totius £ cequans ; peristoma simplex, marginibus 

 callo tenui jundis. Longit. 6, diam. 1 '5 mm. Apertura 1 '5 longa.
