A prettily-banded, smoothly-ribbed, stout little species, of 
which we have five specimens. Whorls six to seven, turreted, 
perfectly smooth. Mouth oblong, outer lip and columella 
denticulate within. (Szgzum, a standard). 
M. (Glyphostoma) chrysolitha sp. nov. (Pl. IX., fig. 25). 
M. testa breviter fusiformi, albida, delicatula, anfractibus

coloribus albis, omntbus longitudinaliter costulatis, et spira- 
liter clathratis, gunctura flavo-gemmulatis, gemmtis tubercu- 
losis, nitidis, bino ordine in antepenultimo, trinoin penultimo, 
in anfractu ultimo trino ad periphertam ordine albido sequente, 
posthac duobus flavis ordinibus, apud basim parvis tubercults, 
apertura oblonga, sinu suturali lato, parum labrum effodiente,

Long., 5, Lat., 2 mill. 
A very pretty species, with much similarity of marking and 
texture to Clathurella granicostata Reeve, but the mouth is that 
of a Glyphostoma or Mangilia. It is shortly fusiform, white, 
delicate, whorls probably seven, of which the two highest after 
the apical are plain and uncoloured, the remainder showing 
regular spiral rows of yellow gemme at the junction of the 
longitudinal costz with the transverse lire. There are two rows 
of these in the antepenultimate, three in the penultimate, and 
in the last, three above the periphery, where follows one row of 
spiral colourless gemmee, then two rows of yellow, the base of 
the canal being tubercled and colourless. The mouth is oblong,
