304 MELVILL AND STANDEN: SHELLS FROM LIFU. 
Extremely minute. Shell oval, obtuse, livid pink grey, in 
facies much like Zafra pupoidea Ad. in miniature. The last 
whorl, at the apex of the smallest specimen, is twisted over the 
next, as is the habit of most of the Odostomia. The other 
whorls are longitudinally densely ribbed, the interstices between 
being smooth. The mouth is ovate, peristome continuous, 
columellar margin with a strong single plait or fold. A few 
specimens. (dim. of g/s, a dormouse). 
Syrnola jaculum sp. nov. (PI. XI, fig. 58). 
S. testa acuta, attenuata, tenui, vitrea, anfractibus undecim, 
omnibus applanatis, in uno specimine qguingue anfractibus 
supertoribus pallidé apud medium brunneo-liratis, tn ceterts 
omnino unicoloribus, apertura attenuata obliqua, labro tenut, 
columella untplicata. 
Long., 8, Lat. 2 mill. 
Seven specimens of a pure white shining crystalline Sy7oda, 
eleven whorled, whorls straight, very slightly channelled at the 
sutures, in one specimen only the five higher whorls, next to the 
apical, are delicately spirally twice zoned with narrow ochraceous 
brown lines, these becoming obsolete in the lower whorls. The 
other specimens have no trace of such banding. The whorls 
are perfectly smooth ; mouth oblique; lip simple; columella 
once plaited. (/acuw/um, a dart, from the pointed contour). 
S. violacea sp. nov. (PI. XI, fig. 59). 
S. festa attenuata, levi, nitida, duobus anfractibus apicalibus 
diaphanis, ceteris violacets, untcoloribus, levisstmis, mifrd 
suturas tnternam ob plicam transversim quast unilineolatis, 
ultimo anfractu ad basim pallescente, apertura obliqua, lubro 
simplice, columella uniplicata. 
Long., 13, Lat., 2°50 mul. 
A smooth violaceous shell, ten whorled, quite plain ex- 
cepting for the line of the revolving plica showing through each 
whorl transversely just below the sutures; mouth somewhat 
oblique, outer lip plain, columellar one-plaited. Three speci- 
mens, but only one in first-class condition.
