 transparent white throughout. 



Habitat— Andaman Islands. 



The typical form also occurs in the present collection, and it 

 appears to have been also noticed by Nevill from these Islands.

 brown band at the base of the bodj^^-whorl and a much broken

This species in some respects recalls M. ebenus from the Medi- 

 terranean ; it is, however, paler in colour ; the body-whorl is broader 

 in proportion to the size of the shell, the peristome is continuous 

 and the apical whorls are spirally grooved and not transversely 

 striated and punctured as is the case with M. ebenus. 



Mitra warnefordiana, sp. nov. 



Shell ovatel}' oblong, spire rather blunt, dark brown, painted 

 with a thin, yellowish line just above the sutures and on the body- 

 whorl at about one- fourth its height from the suture; remaining 

 whorls 7, somewhat shouldered, spirally striate and transversely

 becoming obsolete on the lower portion of the body- whorl. Sutures 

 impressed; aperture elongate; peristome slightly thickened, but
