THE MOLLUSCA HEDLEY. 471 



Under the synonym of D. vidua, Reeve, this is quoted by 

 Garrett* from Fiji and Wallis Island ; by Melvill and Standenf 

 from Lifu ; and by WeinkaufFJ from Upolu, Samoa. I have 

 collected it at Port Moresby, British New Guinea.

Clathurella pulchella, Garrett, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil., 1873, p. 

 219, pi. iii., fig. 32. 



Glyphostoma goubini, Hervier, Journ.de Conch., xliii., 1895(1896), 

 p. 149; xliv., 1896 (1897), p. 75, pi. ii, fig. 17. 



Seven specimens from the lagoon at Funafuti. 



Tryon writes that G. purpurascens " is admitted by Mr. 

 Garrett to be identical with his C. pulchella, over which it has 

 two years' priority of publication. " The figure and description 

 of Father Hervier so exactly correspond to the others quoted, 

 that I fear no contradiction in reducing his name to synonomy. 

 Possibly the unfigured C. rubicunda, Gould, || is the same species. 



Dunker described it from Upolu (Samoa), Garrett from Fiji, 

 and Hervier from Lifu (Loyalties). If the prior Clathurella 

 rubicunda, Gould, is identical, the range includes the Loo Choo 

 Islands. 



GLYPHOSTOMA ALICES, Melvill & Standen. 



Melvill & Standen, Journ. Conch., viii., 1895, p. 95, pi. ii., fig. 

 15 (bad). 



Three specimens from Funafuti agree generally with an authentic 

 example from Lifu. The photographic illustration quoted is too 

 indistinct to show details. 



GLYPHOSTOMA ALICES, M. & S., var. TENERA, var nov. 



This variety differs in sculpture from the preceding, having on 

 the last whorl fifteen delicate costse, where the typical form bears 

 eight, thick and prominent ribs. At the anterior termination of 

 these ribs, the variety has a more decided angle, followed by a 

 more hollow base, than the species in chief. 



Five specimens from the lagoon beach.
