identified it with some doubt, the more so as the only spécimen is young. Mr. HEDLEY (Proc. 

 Lin. Soc. N. S. W. 1914, Vol. XXXIX, p. 724) locales it in the subgenus Aulica. 



Melo Humphrey. 

 1. Melo sp. 



West Coast of New Guinea, 1904. (Dr. Koch leg.) 



The soft parts are complète, though large part of the foot lias been eut off and preserved 

 separately. Unfortunately only a small part of the shell has been preserved, consisting of the 

 columellar side with 3 strong folds and a short, much weaker one, above them; moreover a 

 small part of the interior of last whorl, marbled with yellowish and light brown and two 

 rows of darker stains, of which the upper one consists of squarish, the lower of elongate spots 

 is présent. As the spire is wanting, it is impossible to name the species, the more so as the 

 différent figures, hâve caused much controversy amongst authors.

Though the first figure quoted by BoRN (1. c.) represents M. bucephala Lam., his descrip- 

 tion and other quoted figures, as far as I could compare them, belong to M. pugilina, so I 

 hâve accepted this name.

The spécimens agrée better with the quoted figure of TRYON, which is a copy of that 

 in the Voyage de l'Astrobabe, PI. 22, fig. 37, than with other ones I hâve seen ; the dépres- 

 sion of the upper part of whorls is narrower and less flattened than usual, this may partly be 

 due to smaller size (youth ?) for in the upper whorls of my spécimens the same character 

 may be observed, though not so pronounced.
