MELANEA fasciata. 
TAB. CCXLL —Fig. 1. 
Spec. Char. Turreted, shorty transversely striated; 
whorles about six, marked with three coloured 
bands, coronated ; aperture ovate. 
Between two and three times as long as wide; the 
upper edge of each turn is crowned with rather distant 
obtuse knobs ; the bands are preserved of a light brown 
colour, while the rest of the shell is nearly white. 
I am indebted to Dr. Dansey* for this interesting 
little shell; it was found in the fresh water formation on 
the Isle of Wight, but seems to belong to a genus often 
found among marine fossil shells ; it is further remarkable 
for the preservation of its colours. 
The central figure is of the natural size; the others 
are magnified. 
MELANEA costata. 
TAB. CCXLL —Fig. 2. 
Spec. Char. Turreted, transversely striated, longi- 
tudinally ribbed ; mouth obovate. 
Volutions about eight; length above three times the 
width ; the costae are numerous, but not much elevated. 
The spire tapers very gradually, the sides being almost 
straight. 
Hordwell Cliff. 
The lateral figures are magnified. 
* This gentleman has also favoured me with some new localities of shells 
formerly published, which I shall add after the Index to the third volume.
