288 MELVILL AND STANDEN: SHELLS FROM LIFU. 
A very delicate species. At first we imagined it to be the 
juvenile of Zativus turritus Rve., but the mouth and processes 
are those of a true Glyphostoma. ‘The apical whorls are glassy, 
shining, the rest impressed at the sutures, and very coarsely 
costate, also roughly lirate, the liree being white, the interstices 
fulvous. The mouth is narrow, sinus ample and profound ; the 
denticles of the outer lip, of the columella, and the sutural tooth 
are all tinged fulvous red. A few specimens. From the 
description of G/. Gaidei Hervier, J. de Conch., vol. 43, 
p. 239, it must resemble this shell. There, however, are eight 
whorls, but little decussation, and other points of distinction. 
(Latirella resembling Latirus turritus).

Many specimens of a pure-white turreted little species, with 
a conspicuous dorsal squarrose brown spot just below the suture 
of the last whorl. ‘The whorls are ventricose and ribbed longi- 
tudinally, crossed with a few conspicuous lira, the outer lip is 
much thickened with large denticles on the inner surface, and 
the columella is toothed. (vros the back, zuppés rufous).
