548 Dr. H. Woodward — On Fossil Shells from Sumatra. 



British Museum from the Philippine Islands are just of the same 

 smooth unplicated or uncostated character, with similar fine spiral 

 striae on the upper volutions, and painted with the same short reddish 

 stripes just beneath the suture, as in the Sumatran shell. The lip of 

 the latter is considerably broken away, and consequently displays a 

 less patulate aperture, and a different curve at the columella. 



Formation : — (Sub-fossil?) Tertiary. 



Locality : — Government of the West Coast of Sumatra. 



83. Dentalium, sp. PI. XV. Fig. 14. 



This is a fragment only of a smooth form of Dentalium, but the 

 specimen is too fragmentary for description. 



Formation : — In light-coloured Tertiary Clay-marl. 

 Locality : — Government of the West Coast of Sumatra. 



In concluding this description of M. Verbeek's Fossils, I must beg 

 leave to tender my best thanks to my colleague, Mr. Edgar A. 

 Smith, of the Zoological Department, for his many notes and sugges- 

 tions with regard to recent species ; also to my friend Prof. Morris, 

 M.A., for his kindly and valuable assistance in preparing this paper 

 for publication. 



At the suggestion of Professor T. Eupert Jones, F.E.S., F.G.S., 

 the whole of the specimens sent from Sumatra by M. K. D. M. Verbeek 

 have, with the sanction of the Dutch-Netherland Government, been 

 presented to the British Museum, where they are preserved for 

 reference.
