aperture is wrinkled; columellar margin broken, probably smooth, ending in a large subbifurcate 

 tooth, bordering a rather narrow, deep notch; opposite to this tooth a smaller tooth of the 

 basal margin, borders the notch. Umbilical region with a groove. 



Alt. 7^/3, diam. maj. 8; apert. alt. 4, lat. 6 Mill. 



This shell resembles in shape, sculpture and in some degree in colour E. baccahts Menke, 

 but it is considerably smaller and more depressed. The margins are more wrinkled, the tooth 

 of the columella and the notch are much larger, the right margin is expanded ; the lirae are 

 less numerous, with larger interstices and more conspicuous intermediate lirae. 



It is with some hesitation that I have described this species, the only specimen being 

 incomplete; there is a small hole at the place of the umbilicus, but it has the appearance of 

 being caused by the same accident, that has mutilated the columella.

The specimens are young, one of them is very small, but even the largest has a whorl 

 less than has been recorded in the original description, its diameter is only 7^.-, Mill, against 10 

 in Souverbie's specimen, and 1 2^^ as stated by Pilsbry. The species was hitherto only known 

 from New Caledonia and the x-\ndamans.

 coral; Lithothamnion. i Spec. 



The shell, though very characteristic, seems to be young, its diameter being scarcely 

 sYs Mill, instead of 1 1 in Nevill's description. Its locality is new, as Nevill had got it only 

 from the Southern Province of Cej'lon. Pilsbry is in doubt about its systematic position. Indeed 

 I should think Nevill was right in creating the new genus Tallorbis for it. However I think 

 he was wrong in approaching it to Thalotia, as it resembles much more the preceding species, 

 than any Thalotia I know. As the only specimen is inhabited by a crustacean, I am unfortunately 

 unable to decide the question, by examining the radula. 



Danilia Brusina. 



I have made use of the name Danilia for this group of shells, in accordance with Pilsbry 

 (Man. of Conch. Marine Series, Vol. XI, p. 44S, 1SS9) though Locard in a more recent publication 

 (Expeditions scientifiques du Travailleur et du Talisman, pendant les annees 1886 — 1S93. Moll. 

 Testaces, Tome II, 1S9S, p. 19) has choosen the older name Craspedotus V\A.^ for Pilsbry,
