"West Indies" for L. radiata and "Australia" and "Philippines" for L. mzLricata. I possess a 

 specimen better agreeing with L. muricata^ than with L. i-adiata^ from Curagao. The "Siboga" 

 specimen from Stat. 59, agrees in the spines of the keel and in the red spots, but the upper 

 surface has more beaded spirals, and the base is sculptured by waved, radiating striae instead 

 of beads. However this may depend on age or variability; it seems very unsafe to make 

 conclusions on one small and not quite intact specimen. The other one is very young. 



5. Liotia (Arene) crejiata Kiener. 



KlENER. Coq. Viv. Vol. IX, Delphinula, p. 11, PL 4, fig. 8. 

 Reeve. Conch. Ic. Vol. I, Delphinula, fig. 19. 



Stat. 37. Sailus Ketjil, Paternoster-islands. Shore, i Spec. 



Though the only specimen is very young, I don't hesitate about its identification -, the 

 characteristic sculpture, perfectly agrees with that of the upper whorls, of an adult specimen, 

 received from New Caledonia. 



6. Liotia sp. ^ 



Stat. 81. Pulu Sebangkatan, Borneo-bank. 34 M. Lithothamnion-bottom. i Spec. 

 A small specimen, probably new, but not in sufficiently good condition for description. 



7. Liotia (Arene) sp. 



Stat. 81. Pulu Sebangkatan, Borneo-bank. 34 M. Lithothamnion-bottom. i Spec. 



Allied to L. crenata Kien., but differing in several particulars, especially in the much 

 narrower umbilicus. It is perhaps new, but the shell is too much worn, for giving a sufficient 

 description of the sculpture. 



8. Liotia (Arene) armata Adams var. PI. Ill, fig. i. 



Adams. Ann. and Mag. of Nat. Hist. 3d Series, Vol. VIII, 1861, p. 243. 



Stat. 95. 5°43'.s N., ii9°4o'E. 522 M. Stony bottom, i Spec. 



This species has been described by Adams, from Korea-strait, from a depth of only 46 

 fathoms. The specimen under consideration is dead, as it is however in good condition, it has 

 been figured. According to E. A. Smith, who has compared it with the collection of the British 

 Museum, the spire is flatter at the top than in the type. 



9. Liotia (Arene) lamellosa n. sp. PL III, fig. 2. 



Stat. 95. 5°43'.S N., ii9°4o'E. 522 M. Stony bottom, i Spec. 



Shell depressedly turbinate, yellowish-white, whorls a)\„, upper ones forming a slightly 

 concave spire, nucleus rather smooth, followed by a whorl, with regular, distinct ribs, slightly 

 ano-ular at some distance from the suture, from there towards the aperture the suture is excavated
