188 PLANAXIDE. 
More attenuately produced and less distinctly angulate 
than the preceding specimens. Long. 5—4$, diam. 2g mil. It is 
possibly the Planaxis succinctus of McAndrew from Suez? 
Through the kindness of Colonel Godwin-Austen, I have had the 
advantage of Mr. Edgar Smith’s opinion of one of the Cher- 
boniane Reef specimens—he considers it as Planawis lineolatus, 
Gld. 
7. Planaxis ineptus. 
Planaxis inepta, Gould, P. Bost. S. VII, 1860, Kikaia Bay— axis 4, diam.

Long. 8, diam. 44, another 43, 25 mil.; more or less sulcate, 
last whorl always more or less angulate; aperture contracted 
and not “subpatulous ” as in Pl. lineolatus ; very variable in size 
as will be seen from the above measurements, generally striped 
as in the figure of the Conch. Iconica of Pl. zonatus, A. Adams, 
[Philippines; stnooth], sometimes only one, sometimes many 
banded. It maybe an extreme var. of Pl. lineolatus, Gld.? 
My identification has been confirmed by Mr. Edgar Smith, 
of the British Museum.
