apparently of pale yellow horn-colour, rather than brown, 

 and with more convex whorls than N, ij-edalei (Preston), 

 which it otherwise much resembles. ^ 



Nothapalus dohertiji (Smith), 1903. 



This may probably also be placed in NothapaluSj which it 

 resembles in its long last whorl and the straight profile of 

 its outer lip. The transverse striation, however, is much 

 more prominent than in other kuown members of the genus. 



Genus Euonyma, M. & P., 189G. 



Euonyma lanceolata (Pfr.), 1854^. 



1854. Bulimm Imiceolatus, Pfr. P. Z. S. p. 292.

These three species are identical. 



I have previously pointed out that specimens in the 

 British Museum identified as micans by PfeifEer himself are 

 entirely conspecific with his type of lanceolata. Natalensis 

 was differentiated from the latter on account of having 

 supposedly stronger sculpture ; Mr. Burnup, however, has 

 kindly permitted me to examine a large series of th€ species, 

 which prove that the sculpture varies, to a great extent, in 

 accordance with the state of preservation of the individual, 

 being on the whole more prominent in fresh than in rubbed 

 or weather-worn specimens. The type of natalensis was a 

 beautiful fresh young shell, while all the older examples, 

 labelled lanceolata and micans, in the British Museum are 

 somewhat bleached and of smoother appearance, but the 

 additional series shown me by Mr. Burnup prove that 

 the sculpture is really the same throughout them all, and, 

 except for slight dimorphism, there is practically no real 

 difference between any of them.

 p. 317, pi. ii. fig. 5. 



Ever since its publication this species has been completely 

 misunderstood. The authors^ original figure accurately 

 portrays their type, but a large series, kindly furnished by 

 Mr. Burnup from the type-locality Karkloof and other dis- 

 tricts prove that the type is abnormal. This shell shows no 

 fewer than three fractures, at the apex, the fourth and the 

 penultimate whorls, which are quite sufficient to account for
