lineations on the inner margin ; throat coated with bluish white enamel; pillar flattened i 
white. Operculum patelliform, ivory-like, the outer convex surface marbled black and white; 
the inner surface black. 
Length one-fourth of an inch ; diameter one-fifth of an inch. 
Locality. —Found at San Diego by Mr. Blake, and also by Dr. Wehh. 
This pretty little shell is usually more or less coated with cretaceous matters, hut when cleaned 
exhibits a beautifully lineated surface, peculiar on account of the lines running so nearly in the 
ordinary direction of revolving strirn. The coloration, however, sometimes consists of olive and 
white tessellations and blotches. It would accord pretty well with P. perforata , Philippi, did it 
not lack the distinguishing mark of that species, its perforation. 
BULLA (TORNAT1NA) INCULTA, Gould. 
[Preliminary Report, 1855.] 
Testa minuta, solidula, eburnea, elongato-ovalis, longitudinaliter minutissime striata: spira 
elevata ; anfractihus quatuor tahulatis: apertura linearis, octantes septem longitudinis testae 
adequans, antice dilatata, postice rotundata ; lahro incurvato ; columella satis arcuata, callosa, 
uniplicata. PL XI, figures 27, 28. 
Shell minute, solid, ivory white, elongated-oval, minutely striated longitudinally; spire ele¬ 
vated, consisting of about four tabulated whorls. Aperture about seven-eighths the length of 
the shell, not attaining the end of the outer whorl, linear, constricted at the middle and some¬ 
what dilated anteriorly, posterior angle rounded; pillar moderately arcuate, usually presenting 
a well-marked fold at the anterior fourth, and well coated with enamel. 
Length one-eighth ; breadth one-twelfth of an inch. 
Locality. —San Diego. 
May he best compared with B. fusiformis, A. Adams, and is also very closely allied to B. 
obstricla. Grould. The spire varies much in elevation, sometimes, indeed, being on a level with 
the outer whorl. The form of the whole shell is also more or less cylindrical. 
BULLA (HAMINEA) VESICULA, Gould. 
[Preliminary Report, 1855.] 
Testa parva, fragilis, ovato-glohosa, pallide citrina, postice truncata: apertura spiram 
superans, longitudine duplo adequans, antice et postice bene rotundata ; columella profunde 
arcuata, vix callosa. Pl. XI, fig. 29. 
Shell small, fragile, ovate globose, pale greenish yellow ; body of the shell small, truncate at 
summit; outer whorl large ; aperture about twice the length of the body of the shell, and pro¬ 
jecting above it, broadly rounded both posteriorly and anteriorly ; outer lip indexed at the 
middle ; pillar profoundly arcuate, with a narrow delicate callus. 
Length three-tenths ; breadth one-fifth of an inch. 
Locality. —Brought from San Diego by Mr. Blake. 
It has about the size and general appearance of B. rotunda , A. Adams, hut has not so large 
a body, and is more open anteriorly ; in this Litter respect it is more like B. Natalensis, a much 
larger shell.
