(Glyphostoma) thereganum M. & S., p. 291, 1896. 
(Glyphostoma) thesaurista M. & S., p. 291, 1896. 
(Glyphostoma) thyridota M. &5., p. 292, 1896. 
Clathurella Blanfordi G. & H. Nevill.—We cannot separate 
29200 
a little violaceous species from one recorded from Ceylon 
by Nevill. 
. caletria M. &S., J. of Conch., vol. viii., p. 293, 1896. 
. cavernosa Reeve.—One specimen. A _prettily-coloured 
but very small shell, pale violet clouded over with ochre- 
ous. Recorded from the Philippines and Fiji Isles. 
. Clandestina Deshayes.—A pale purple species, curiously 
like Zhala mtrifica Reeve, to outward seeming. 
. cnepheea M. &S., J. of Conch., vol. viii., p. 293, 18096. 
. commoda Smith. 
An exceedingly delicate species, trans-

. episema M. &S., J. of Conch., vol. vili., p. 294, 1896.

. lita M. &S., J. of Conch., vol. viii., p. 294, 1896. 
longa M. & S., p. 295, 1896.—This name must yield to 
M. (Glyphostoma) trigonostomum Herv., published Septem- 
ber, 1896, and consequently having precedence of two 
months. Judging from the plate, our specimens are not 
so perfect, especially in the mouth and thickened outer 
lip, as those in M. Hervier’s possession. 
Malleti Recluz.—Small, but brilliant carnation in colour, 
with a tinge of violet. Recorded from the Navigator and 
other Polynesian Islands. Extremely abundant, over two 
hundred specimens occurring ; probably a Glyphostoma. 
. polynesiensis Reeve.—Almost typical. We have lately 
seen this widely-distributed C/athurella from Karachi and 
the Nubian coast, dredged by Captain Shopland and Mr. 
F. W. Townsend. Also there are specimens from the 
Persian Gulf and Fiji in the National Collection. It is 
J.C., viii., July 1897
