MOLLUSCA. 
24o 
tlio shell like Fasciolaria, operculum like that of Ncptmica, Type Fasciolaria 
Ugata (Mighels and Adams). Coasts of Maine and Nova Scotia, in deep 
■water. Am. Journ. Conch, i. p. 69 ; lingual dentition pi. 8. fig. 8. 
Latirm p'ismaticus (Marty n), gcmmatus (Reeve), violaceiis (Reeve), and 
gihhusy sp. n., all from the Sandwich Islands, described by Harper Pease, Proc. 
Zool. Soc. 1806, pp. 63 & 64. 
Turhinella hidalga, Crosse, Jouni. Conch, xiii. p. 317, pi. 14. fig. 1. This 
species has the general appearance of tlie genus Lntirm (Montfort, Adams), 
but no umbilicus ; consequently it shows that the separation of Latirm from 
the other TurhineUce is not natural. Crosse, I, c. pp. 416-417. 
V OLUTIDAJ. 
Valuta and Mclo. Sixteen species of the former and four of the latter ge- 
nus are figured in Sowerby’s ^ Thesaurus,’ part xxiii. pi. 260-262. Pages 269- 
273 contain their descriptions and other supplementary remarks to the mono- 
graph given in former parts of the same work by the father of the present 
author. All the species have been previously described in other works or pe- 
riodicals by Reeve, Gray, and Sowerby. 
Valuta elUatiy Sowerby, Description of three irew shells (London, 1864). 
Dr. Gray regards it as a variety of V. turneri^ but nevertheless names it T. 
jamrachi. See Zool. Record, i. p. 206. 
Valuta (Alcithae) Jcreuslera;, sp. n., Angas, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1865, p. 65, 
pi. 2. fig. 3, South Australia ; V. (Lyria) arclieri^ sp. n,, Angas, 1. c. figs. 4 & 5, 
West Indies. 
Valuta pinmlio, Brusina, Verhandl. zool.-bot. Gesellsch. Wien, p. 13, de- 
scribed as a new Dalmatian species, only 16 inillim. long, and with one plait 
only on the pillar ; it is therefore very probable that this shell is something 
else than a Valuta in the sense of Lamarck and all modern authors. 
Mitrida?. 
New species : — 
Mitra infrafasciata, Souverbie, Journ. Conch, xiii. p. 165, pi. 6. fig. 7, New 
Caledonia ; M. rasettce, Angas, Proc. Zool. Soc. p. 65, pi. 2. fig. 6, South Au- 
stralia; M, saltata and nigricans^ Pease, ibid. pp. 612, 514, Central Pa- 
cific; M. striata and calumhulce, Brusina, Verhandl. zool.-bot. Gesellsch. 
Wien, 1866, p. 14, Dalmatia. M. picta (Danilo et Sandri), described by 
Brusina, 1. c. p. 16, Dalmatia, appears to be scarcely different from 31. tri- 
calar (Gmel.) = savignyi (Payr.), smooth. 
Turricula putillusy Pease, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1865, p. 614, Central Pacific. 
3litraideay g. n.. Pease, 1. c. p. 614. Ten plaits on the pillar-lip ; base trun- 
cate in a manner somewhat approaching Terebcllum. 31. mxdtiplicata (Pease), 
Central Pacific. 
MitramarpTia^ g. n., A. Adams, is like the Camilla form of 3Iitra, but with- 
out any trace of plaits on the columella ; 31. lirata, A. Adams, Ann. & Mag. 
Nat. Hist. XV. p. 322, from Japah. — 31. Jllasa, Carpenter, ibid. p. 177, from 
California. — Columhella darmitar (Sow.) may also belong to this genus : ibid. 
Calumhella marmareay Brusina, Verhandl, zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, p. 9, Me- 
leda, Dalmatia, allied to C. rusticuy L,,sp. — C. decaUatUy Brusina, 1. c. p. 10,
