MELVILL AND STANDEN : SHELLS FROM LIFU. 
Borsonia bifasciata Pease.—Exactly agreeing with Sand- 
wich Island types in the British Museum, but surely a 
Clathurella, 
lutea Pease.—A pale straw-coloured shell, equally well 
placed as Glyphostoma. 
nigrocincta Montrouzier.— Quite typical, and in good 
condition. The genus 4orsonza Bellardi, founded in 1839 
on a fossil possessing a columellar plait, has been extended 
to embrace a few recent N. Caledonian species, but in our 
humble judgment they intergrade with GZyphosfoma and 
other AZang7/ie, and we only keep them separate now for 
the sake of comparison with Tryon’s Manual.

. (Clavatula) rubida Hinds.—Many specimens. It seems 
variable, both as to size and form. Some are more oblong 
than is normal, the ribbing then being not so pronounced. 
All, however, agree in colour and marking. JZ. rudida is 
of wide distribution, being recorded from Mauritius, New 
Guinea, New Ireland, Fiji Islands, and Cook’s Island 
(Tryon). 
. (Clavatula) zonata Reeve.—A prettily-banded species; 
also recorded from the Philippines. 
(Cythara) conohelicoides Reeve. — Large and well- 
marked.  Plentiful.
