490 MR. E. A. SMITH ON NEW SPECIES OF SHELLS, [NoV. 17, 



apertiira elongata, inverse auriformis, longit. totius f ad- 

 cequans, intus sorcUde alhida, labrum versus fuscescens aut 

 rufescens, dente paonetali alio valido munita ; plica columel- 

 laris valde prominens, alba ; lalrmn expansum^ subreflexum, 

 carneo-rufescens, marginibus callo tenui junctis, columellari 

 magis reflexo, umbilicmn semiobtegente. 

 Longit. 78 millim., diam. maj. 33 ; apertura intus 44 longa,

 Hah. Solomon Islands. 



This species is about the size and general form of Fl. macfarlandi 

 of Brazier, but differs in having the body-whorl a little longer in 

 proportion to the spire, and the aperture is also more elongate, and 

 the peristome is fleshy red and more expanded. It is more 

 elongated than PL macgillivrayi, Pfeiflfer, and has a less acuminate 

 spire, but it agrees with it in the character of the columellar fold 

 and the tubercle above it on the body-whorl. 



PupiNA BRENCHLEYi. (Plate XL. figs. 8, 8 a.) 

 Testa pupiformis, pallide fulva, nitidissima ; anfract. 5^, con- 

 vexiusculi, celeriter crescentes, infra suturam linea pellucida 

 angusta marqinati, ultimus antice perohlique descendens, ad 

 labrum stibito brevissime ascendens, supra aperturam suh- 

 planulatus ; apertura fere circularis, longit. totius 5 paulo 

 superans ; labrum pallidum, antice subeffusum ; incisura 

 columellaris angusta, parva ; dens parietalis acutus, labro 

 sinu angusto sejunctus. 

 Longit. 7 millim., diam. 3^ ; apertura 2| longa, 2 lata. 

 Hah. Lugunor Island, Mortlock group of the Caroline Islands. 

 This species was found by Mr. Brazier in very great profusion in 

 thick dense bush near the sea-beach under old cocoanut husks, 

 leaves, and decayed wood on very wet or damp ground. 



This species is very like P. {Registoma) complanata of Pease, 

 but differs in having the body-whorl a little flatter above the 

 aperture, the parietal tooth and notch are more distinct, and the 

 columellar slit is smaller and not so deep. Out of seventy speci- 

 mens examined, two have the parietal notch entirely filled up with 

 callus, and in others it is partially obliterated. 



The name proposed by Mr. Brazier may be retained in remem- 

 brance of Mr. Julius Brenchley, whose liberality and kindly 

 disposition were greatly valued by many friends. 



Omphalotropis carolinensis. (Plate XL. figs. 9, 9 a.)

 pallida cornea vel rufescens, plus minus opaco-albo lineata et 

 maculata ; anfractiis 6, convexi, lineis incrementi tenuibus 

 striisque spiralibus tenuissimis obsoletis sculpti, sutura sub- 

 profunda vix obliqua sejuncti, ultimus rotundatus, infra medium 

 plerumque haud maculatus, circa umbilicum carina obtusa 

 instructus ; spira conica, ad apicem subacuta ; apertura ovata, 

 superne leviter acuminata, antice ad carinam subeffusa, longit.
