banded variety, is so different, owing to the greater fineness of the 

 striae, that on examining a number of specimens I think they may 

 well be separated. 



2. Cancellaria t^niata (Thes. Conch, pi. 95. f. 75, 76). Cane, 

 testd elongatd, turritd ; costis numerosis, transverse striatis, ad 

 angulum anfractuum acute angulatis ; spird acuminatd, apice mam- 

 melliferd ; aperturd interne Icevigatd ; margine acuto ; columelld 

 Icevi, biplicatd; colore pallide fulvo, fusco tceniato.

3. Cancellaria melanostoma (Thes. Conch, pi. 95. f. 78). Cane, 

 testd ovali, longitudinaliter striis noduliferis et transverse striis 

 alternatis minute decussatd ; spird acuminatd, anfractibus paucis, 

 rotundatis ; aperturd ovali, magnd, interne costatd ; labio externo 

 denticulato ; columelld expansd, antice granulatd, triplicatd ; colore 

 pallide fulvo, fusco late fasciato ; labio externo bimaculato, colu- 

 melld fused nigricante. 



The smoothness of the decussating striae, the more oval form, the 

 peculiar dark colour and granulation of the columella, serve to di- 

 stinguish this species from the preceding. 



Mr. Cuming possesses the only specimen which we have seen. Its 

 locality is unknown. 



4. Cancellaria excavata (Thes. Conch, pi. 93. f. 18). Cane, 

 testd ovatd, Icevi ; spird acuminatd, turritd ; anfractibus ad sutu- 

 ram profunde excavatis ; aperturd breviusculd, angulatd, labio 

 externo Icevi, interne costato ; columelld triplicatd, umbilicatd ; 

 colore nullo. 



Hab. South Australia. 



It resembles C. spirata, but the aperture is shorter in proportion 

 to the spire, and the upper part of the whorls more deeply excavated. 

 The shell is umbilicated behind the columella, and of a white colour. 



5. Cancellaria foveolata (Thes. Conch, pi. 103. f. 30, 31). 

 Cane, testd oblong o- ovali, turritd, Icevigatd, obsolete striata ; spird 

 productd, anfractibus angulatis, ad suturam excavatis, ad angulum 

 subcoronatis ; aperturd triangulari, Icevi ; columelld triplicatd ; 

 umbilico mediocri; colore fusco, vel fulvo tceniato. 



From the sands in Algoa Bay. One specimen is of a uniform 

 brown colour, and the other beautifully lineated. 



6. Cancellaria semidisjuncta (Thes. Conch, pi. 95. f. 62, 63). 

 Cane, testd ovali, ventricosd, turritd, spiraliter sulcata ; anfrac- 

 tibus angulatis, ad suturam profunde excavatis, ultimo disjuncto ; 

 umbilico maximo, costato ; aperturd triangulari, columelld tripli- 

 catd; colore fulvo, fusco longitudinaliter fasciato .
