Mr. Williams writes us, that though in good condition, the 
markings in a quite fresh specimen would probably be much 
clearer and more characteristic. The shell is fusiform, polished, 
the whorls six, deeply canaliculate and excavate at the 
sutures; the last whorl and the penultimate are ornamented 
with clearly-drawn longitudinal zigzag chestnut lines; the 
mouth is narrow, oblong, outer lip thickened, columella 7-8 
plaited. 
We have very much pleasure in connecting with this little 
Olivella the name of our friend, Mr. J. Michael Williams, of 
Liverpool, whose collection of Olives embracing as it does, so 
many types and unique or rare species and varieties, is prob- 
ably the best extant at the present time, and to whom we have 
submitted the whole of the genus in our Loyalty Islands’ 
collections.
