color is white or cinereous, and sometimes nearly uniform 

 blackish-brown. The ribs are frequently lineated with light 

 brown or blackish-brown, the lines often interrupted so as to 

 form two transverse rows of linear spots which gradually 

 merge into the conspicuously banded variety which represents 

 Lamarck's arenosa.

 p. 842. 



This lovely little shell inhabits the Viti, Samoa, Cook's 

 Society and Panmotu Islands. The few living examples 

 which came under my observation were obtained from

Its small size (5 mill.), slender fusiform shape, shining 

 pinky-red color with two transverse brown lines inclosing a 

 white band, numerous plicate ribs and transverse impressed 

 lines will readily distinguish it.

A few more or less perfect dead specimens were found 

 in beach sand at Anaa, Panmotu Islands. 



Mr. Pease's name being preoccupied for a fossil species, 

 it has been changed as above. 



It is a small, oblong-ovate shining species of a reddish- 

 chestnut or light brown, with three yellowish or pale brown 

 transverse bands on the body whorl.

 Islands. All my examples were found in a more or less
