I cannot, from published data, separate the later described E. 

 solida, Sowb., and E. inftexa, Pease. Granted this synonomy, 

 the species extends to Fiji, Paumotus, and Hawaii. 



EULIMA DECIPIENS, sp. HOV. 



(Fig. 4). 



Shell small, straight, rather broad, translucent, 

 glossy. Colour porcelainous white. Apex mucro- 

 nate. Whorls eleven, scarcely rounded, sculpture 

 none. Suture scarcely perceptible ; what first 

 appears to be the suture, proves with further 

 magnification to be the internal septa seen 

 through the shell substance. Aperture pyriform, 

 oblique, with a callous arched columella. Length 

 5, breadth 1| mm. 



One living specimen from the lagoon. 



This species somewhat resembles E. piriformis, 

 Brugnone, than which it is rather narrower. Fig. 4. 



STYLIFER VARICIFERUS, sp. nov. 



(Fig. 5). 



Shell ovate conical, thin, translucent and shining. Apex broken 

 but apparently acicular. Remaining whorls nine, of which the

latter are markedly tumid and narrow, giving the shell a squeezed 

 or telescoped aspect. The upper whorls are smooth and polished, 

 the lower gradually acquire an oblique, longitudinal sculpture 

 which becomes coarser as the shell proceeds and finally on the
