According to the descriptions I suppose these shells correspond to var. innotabilis Smith, 

 as they have two brown interrupted lines, which I find not mentioned in the other diagnoses. 



2. Urosalpinx Smithi n. sp. PI. XXI, fig. 5. 



Stat. 49'. Sapeh-strait. 69 M. Coral and shells, i Spec. 



Shell small, ovate, white; whorls about 7 (Nucleus obscured by a calcareous deposit) 

 upper ones angular about the periphery, obliquely declining from suture to angle, then slightly 

 contracted till the lower suture. Sculpture consisting of concentric ribs, 9 on last whorl, 5 or 6 

 indistinct spiral lirae above the angle and 16 lirae inclusive of the angular one, on the rest 

 of last whorl, the angular one and 3 others more prominent than the rest; these lirae are 

 crossed by a laminar sculpture, producing a row of conspicuous scales just below the deep 

 suture and concealing it, the interstices of the lirae being punctured by them. Aperture oblong- 

 ovate, with an angle above; right margin strongly convexly curved, contracted below at the 

 canal, columellar margin appressed, interior of aperture porcellaneous, white, thickened near the 

 peristome, which is fringed by the lirae. Canal short, wide, curved to the right. 



Alt. II, lat. 5Y2; apert. alt. (with canal) 6, lat. 2^0^111. 



Named in honour of Mr. E. A. Smith I.S.O. who has so often given me his valuable 

 assistance. Though small, the species seems to be different from any described form.
