central areas. The dirty green spotting is also more noticeable 

 on the hinder edges of the valves than elsewhere. 



179. Chiton (Callistochiton) adenensis. (Plate XXXIII. 

 %• 7.) 



Testa parva, depressa^haudcarinata, concolor, pallide fuscescens ; 

 valva antica costis radiantibus circiter 22 granulatis instructa ; 

 arece laterales e radiis duobus forte granulatis consfitce, cen- 

 trales longitiidinaliter granulose liratcB, liris in medio tenuioribus 

 quam lateralibus, postica liris tenuibus ad 2.5 granulatis in- 

 structa ; ligamentum pallide fuscescens, minutissime squamu- 

 l a turn. 



Longit. 14 mil/im., diam. 9g. 



The sculpture of this species is of the same character as that of 

 C. antiquus. Reeve, but not quite so pronounced, and the rays of both 

 the terminal valves are more numer.us. 



180. Bulla ampulla, Linn. 



Hab. Indian and Pacific Oceans, Red Sea; Aden {Oaramagna &f 

 Jousseaume) .

 pi. cxxiv. f. 95. 



Hab. Luzon, Philippines. 



The Aden shells agree exactly with the above-quoted figure and

182. Hydatina physis (Linn.). 



Hab. Indian and Pacific Oceans, Red Sea ; also We;t Indies and 

 Brazil. 



Remarkable as it may appear, this species undoubtedly occurs in 

 the West Indies. In the British Museum are specimens from 

 Jamaica received from Mr. E. Chitty and others from St. Vincent's, 

 and recently a specimen vras obtained at Pernambuco by Mr. Ramage 

 when investigating the fauna of Fernando Noronha.

Hab. Mauritius, Ceylon, &c. Not yet noticed from the Red Sea.
