MITRA CARBONARIA. 
(Lot 740.) 
M. testd levi, nigricante, striis transversis, minimis, punctatis, ornatd ; 
spird producté, attenuatd ; columella 5-plicatd. 
Shell smooth, blackish, with very minute punctured transverse 
striee; spire produced, attenuated ; pillar 5 plaited. 
THE size and unusual colour of this shell will prevent it 
from being mistaken for any other Mitre. The punctured 
strie are so delicate, as scarcely to be distinguished by the 
naked eye. Itis, I am informed, a native of New Holland, 
and sometimes grows much larger than the specimen above 
quoted. As Mr. Humphrey’s unpublished name for this 
species is so expressive of its character, I have adopted it. 
VOLUTA PAPILLOSA. 
(Lot 1018.) 
V, (div. 3.) testd ponderosd, levi, lineis fuscis subtilisstme reticulatis, 
fascusque fuscts, transversis, interruptis, ornatd; spire apice 
crassissemo, valde papilloso; labiz interroris medio gibbo; colu- 
melld 4-plicatd. 
Shell ponderous, smooth, with fine reticulated lines, and transverse 
interrupted bands of brown; spire with the apex very thick 
and papillary; middle of the inner lip gibbous; pillar 4-plaited. 
Turis striking and richly coloured shell appears to be 
unknown to any conchological writer. It is reported to 
have been brought from the Fegee Islands.
