CARELIA FIL8BRYI, n.sp., FEOM THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 

 By E. E. SrxES, B.A., F.L.S. 

 Read Uth December, 1908. 

 Shell elongate, spire much produced, imperforate ; sculpture con- 

 sisting of well-marked, irregular, longitudinal lines, these gradually 

 becoming weaker towards the protoconch, which is smooth ; colour of 

 the last whorl red-brown, gradually fading on the upper whorls till 

 the protoconch is only faintly tinged. Whorls 8, the last measuring 

 more than half the entire length, moderately inflated, with a well- 

 marked suture ; mouth lunate, outer lip (broken) hardly thickened at 

 all, the white columellar margin reflexed and slightly expanded. 

 Long. 65, lat. 23 mm. 



S^ah. — Kauai. 



A single specimen, purchased from the collection of the late 

 Mr. Rogers, has remained for some years unnamed in my collection. 

 As other workers have also been unable to identify it, I now give 

 a description and figure. 



From C. licolor, Jay, it differs in its larger size and also its colour ; 

 from C. cochlea, Rve., and Cumingiana, Pfr., in the absence of 

 keeling and the more inflated whorls ; from C. Bold, Ancey, its 

 size will readily distinguish it; from C. oUvacea, Pease, it differs 

 in colour and shape ; from C. paradoxa, Pfr., it may be known by the 

 absence of granular sculpture ; from C. turricula, Mighels, it may be 

 separated by the colouring, length of the last whorl, and lack of keel at 

 the base. C. Sinclairi, Ancey, is unknown to me, and C. glutinosa, 

 Ancey, is not, I believe, really a Hawaiian shell. I have only seen 

 a single specimen of C. Pihlryi, and the species is, I should think, 

 an extinct one, like some others of the group.
