the British Museum. The typical form is from Sandwich

Rissoina variegata Angas. — Abundant, and- brilliantly 
banded in some cases with ochre or fulvous, while other 
examples are white and plain. We lately received from Mr. 
Arnold Umfreville Henn this shell from Sydney, N.S.W.

R. (Phosinella) Deshayesi Schwartz.—Common.  I‘ound 
also in the Philippines. 
R. (Phosinella) quasillus M. & S., p. 308, 1896. 
R. (Pyramidelloides) insolita Deshayes.—A curious form 
with the receding ribs beaded and prominent. The name 
insolita evidently suggests its unaccustomed appearance. 
The range is wide, embracing the Red Sea, Japan, Mau- 
ritius, and Indian Ocean 
Barleeia chrysomela M. &S., p. 309, 1896. 
FamMiLy VARICIDA.

fully-ribbed and sub-crystalline species in very perfect 
condition. Also from the Philippine Islands. 
V. Souleyetiana Recluz.Few specimens. A smooth, white, 
plain Vantkoro. We may here call attention to the fact 
that Vanikoro Quoy has precedence over Varica Recluz 
and Leucotis Swains. This species is also known from 
Ceylon and the Paumotus Islands. 
FaMILy LAMELLARIUIDA. 
Caledoniella Montrouzieri Souverbie.—One specimen only 
of this very rare and obscure mollusc ; allied to Lamellaria
