466 FUNAFUTI ATOLL. 



MlTRA TABANULA, Lk., var. CALEDONICA, Reduz. 



Recluz, Journ. Oonch., iv., 1853, p. 248, pi. vii., fig. 7; Tryon, 



loc. cit., p. 146, pi. xlii., fig. 247. 



A form represented by four specimens from the outer reef of 

 Funafuti is thus doubtfully determined. It is smaller, smoother, 

 and narrower than the shell figured by Recluz, but approaches 

 nearer to it than to any other illustration. 



MITBA FERRUGINEA, Lamarck. 



Tryon, loc. cit., p. 150, pi. xliv., figs. 279, 280, 290 ; Garrett, loc. 

 cit., pp. 3, 17.

 Cook's, Society, and Paumotus Islands. 



MlTRA ACUMINATA, SwainsOH. 



Tryon, loc. cit., p. 153, pi. xlv., fig. 312 ; Garrett, loc. cit., pp. 5, 32.

MITRA BRUNNEA, Pease. 



Tryon, loc. cit., p. 153, pi. xlv., fig. 301; Garrett, loc. cit., pp. 5, 33. 



A single specimen from Funafuti. 



Garrett enumerates the known localities for this rather rare 

 species : Fiji, Samoa, Carolines, Cook's, Society, Paumotus, and 

 Hawaii. There is a specimen in this Museum from Rowland's 

 Island, North-Central Pacific ; and Langkavel reports it from the 

 neighbouring Baker's Island. P. P. Carpenter asserts,* and 

 Pease denies,! that M. brunnea is a synonym of Strigatella fusce- 

 scens, Pease, from Hawaii.
