Since the publication of ‘Marine Shells of South
Africa”’ in 1892, a considerable number of additional species
has been discovered, some well known as inhabiting other
seas, and others new toscience. Descriptions without figures
of some of these were published in the “ Journal of Conchol-
ogy,’ 1894. The time has now come for the publication, in
the form of an appendix to the original work, of descriptions of
the new species, with figures of those hitherto un figured,
together with a list (as complete as possible) of all the species
found up to date in South African Waters, and not included
in my work of 1892, giving references to figures in well-known
works, I include a list of emendations referring to the pages
of the Ist Volume, altering some of the generic names in ac-
cordance with the nomenclature now in use. These changes
are somewhat inconvenient, but they are rendered necessary
by the law of priority. The number of additional South
African Marine Mollusca enumerated in the present work is
311, bringing up the grand total to 1051. The greater num-
ber of these have come under my observation, but some are
quoted on the authority of Krauss, Gould, and other authors,
and are unknown tome. The three plates in the present work
following the five originally published, and numbered accord-
ingly, vi., vii., viii., give 74 figures of 56 species.

Again I have pleasure in tendering my grateful acknow-
ledgments to friends resident in South Africa, after whom I
have named some of the species, and particularly to John
H. Ponsonby, Esq., for the material which has enabled me
to make this contribution to South African Conchology.

OF

SOUTH AFRICA.

ADO TLIO NA Sr CUES:

GASTROPODA.

Murex rAmosus, Linn., Sowerby, Thes. Conch., vol. iv.,
pl. 387, fig. 69.—Natal. Common in the Indian Ocean.

Murex Triviatis, 4. Adams, Sow. Thes. Conch., vol. iv.,
pl. 388, fig. 80.— Natal.

FuLGuR AFRICANUS. Sowerby, nov. sp. (pl. 6, fig. 19.)
Testa elongato-pyriformis, albida, fusco suffusa, flammis
conspicuis fuscis longitudinaliter picta ; spira breviter conica,
eradata; apice? (fracto); anfractus spiraliter confertim sulcati,
angulati, ad angulum nodulis parum elevatis muniti ;
anfractus ultimus supra angulum planato declivis, infra con-

Long. 32, diam. 16 millim.

Hab. Port Elizabeth.

Although this may be a young shell, it is certainly
distinct from the dextral form otf F. berversus.

0) MARINE SHELLS OF SOUTH AFRICA.

The longitudinal flames are rather broad, distant and
irregularly waved on the back of the shell, not (as in F.
cavica) marking the periods of growth.

1 have only seen two specimens of this species, both
collected at Port Elizabeth. They are about equal in size.

Fusus CRENULATUS, Sowerby, Thes. Conch., vol iv.,
p. 85, pl. 14, fig. 170.—-Cape of Good Hope.

Tryon opines that this is a Siphonalia, but in the absence
of evidence, I think it best for the present to place it with
Fusus.

Euturia Macevrant, Vélaim, Arch. Zool. Exper. et Gen.
1877, vol. vi., p. 104, pl. 2, figs. 8-11.—Natal. The type is
from St. Paul’s Island.

PISANIA TRITONOIDES, feeve. (Buccinum), Conch. Icon.
sp. 77.-—Cape of Good Hope (Gould). Durban.

MeETULA CLATHRATA, Adams and Reeve, Voy. Samarang,
p. 32, pl. 11, fig. 12,—Cape of Good Hope, 136 fathoms.

PLEUROTOMA TIGRINA, Lamarck, Reeve, Conch. Icon.
(Pleuvotoma) fig 3.—Durban. Common in many localities
from Mauritius to the Philippines and South Sea Islands.

PLEUROTOMA CINGULIFERA, Lamarck, Reeve, Conch. Icon.
fig. 1.—Durban. Distribution about the same as the last.

PLEUROTOMA MONILIFERA, Pease, Proc. Zool Soc. 1860,
p- 398. Tryon, Man. of Conch. vol. vi, p. 173, pl. 4, fig. 52
(as var. of P. gemmata, Hinds).

Prieurotoma (Drituia) Lavarpi, Sowerby, n. sp. pl. 8,
fig. 3, 4. Testa turrita, rufo-fusca, levigata, longitudinaliter
costata; anfractus 7 obtusissime angulati, supra angulum
leviter concavi, infra convexiusculi, costis circ. 11 rotundatis
levibus, obliquiusculis instructi; ultimus spiram fere
aquans ad basin leviter alternatus haud rostratus, spiraliter
tenuisulcatus; apertura ob’ongo-ovata; columella rectius-
cula superne valde callosa ; labrum arcuatum, sinu latiusculo,
haud profundo emarginatum.

Long 11, diam 4 millim.

Hab. Pondoland. Port Elizabeth.

This species has long been mistaken for P. castanea Reeve,
but upon compariscn with the type of that species it is
found to be quite distinct,

GASTROPODA. 3

Preurotoma (Dritiia) Burnurt, Sowerby, n. sp. (Plate 8,
fig. I, 2.)

Testa turrita, rufo-fusca, fascia albida interrupta et linea
fusca ornata; spira acuta; anfractus 8, obtuse angulati,
superne declives, costis circ. 10 lavibus parum elevatis leviter
obliquis instructi ; ultimus spiram vix zquans, leviter intortus,
inferne levigatus, ad basim liratus, haud rostratus ; apertura
latiuscula, intus dilute fusca; columella suboblique arcuata,
superne tubercula parviuscula instructa ; labrum tenue, sinu
postico latiusculo.

Long. ro, diam. 4 millim.

Hab. Durban.

Allied to P. Layardi, with a sharper spire; the somewhat
oblique and distant ribs run to the top of the whorls, and
become obsolete on the lower half of the body whorl. The
reddish brown colour of the shell is relieved by an interrupted
whitish band at the angle, surmounted by a thin dark brown
line.

CLATHURELLA VERRUCOSA, Sowerby, nov. sp. (pl. 6,
fig. 14). Testa parva, breviter ovata, rugosa, fusca, spira
conica, gradata; anfractus 5, primi 2 leaves, sequentes
biangulati, liris spiralibus 2, crassis confertis valde nodulosis
instructi; sutura late canaliculata; anfractus ultimus spiram
superans, superne angulatus, basin versus leviter attenuatus,
haud rostratus, undique nodulosus ; apertura latiuscula ;
labrum vix incrassatum ; sinu postico latiusculo.

Long. 2.75., diam. 1.50 millim.

Hab Port Elizabeth.

This species was erroneously referred by me on page 7
of “ Marine Shells of South Africa,” as Mangelia clathvata, M.
de Serres, from which upon further examination I find it to
be quite distinct.

CLATHURELLA ComMopa, Smith, Ann. and Mag. of Nat.
Hist., 1882.—South Africa (Smith).

MANGILIA CEREA, Carpenter, Ann. and Mag. of Nat. Hist.,
1865, p. 400.—Cape Town.

Mancitia cast, Reeve, Conch. Icon. (Mang.), pl. 7, f. 55:
Kalk Bay. Tryon (vol. vi., p. 305) proposed the name
of Daphnella Reeveana for this species, on account of the pre-
occupation of the name by Hinds in the genus Pleurotoma,
and considering both to be Daphnelle. It seems to me, how-
ever, that Reeve’s species is a true Mangilia, while that of
Hinds is, though somewhat uncertain, probably a Daphneila,
certainly not a Mangilia,

LororiuM GEMMa‘1UM, Reeve, Conch. Icon. (Triton), sp.60.—
Natal. This species is common in many localities from
Mauritius to the South Pacific Islands.

(Triton), fig. 44.—Natal. This species is pretty common at
Mauritius.

RANELLA AFFINIS, Broderip, Reeve, Conch. Icon. (Ranella),

than a variety of R. granifera, Lam.

CoMINELLA UNIFASCIATA, VAR, CONCOLOR, Sowerby, var.

marginata; anfractus ultimus spiram fere equans, ad basin
profunde canaliculatus; columella leviter contorta, tenuiter
callosa, extus acute lirata; apertura ovata, fauce dilute fusca.

Long. 31, diam. maj. 15 millim.

Hab. Natal.

This species is very like B. Belangeri, Kiener, in form and
colouring, but distinguished by the distinctly granular ridges
on the upper part of the whorls. It may, possibly, be only a
variety, but I have examined more than a hundred specimens
of B. Belangeri without finding the slightest trace of these
characteristic bead-like granules on any.

Hab. Durban. c

An interesting species ot which I have only seen one
specimen. The first 5 whorls are narrowly contracted, from
thence the spire suddenly widens, becoming regularly
pyramidal, the body whorl being shortly rounded at the base.
In form this shell resembles certain species of Stylifey, but
its more opaque substance and smooth polished surface
induce me to place it in the genus Aficalia, although I doubt
whether the generic distinction is of much value. Un-
fortunately, I omitted to take the dimensions of this shell
before returning it to S. Africa, but I think its length is about
12 or 13 m.m., or half an inch.

PANDORA SIMILIS, n. sp.—Testa oblonga, latiuscula,

Antero-post 16.50, umbono-marg. to millim.

Hab. Durban.

This species is broader than P. imaquivalvis, it closely
resembles P. vostvata, Sow., but wants the posterior rostrum
characteristic of that species.

SoLARIELLA SCULPTA, Sowerby, n. sp.—Testa depresse
orbicularis, profunde umbilicata, supra fulvo-viridula, obscure

A very fragile shell, very finely striated. In form it

less cylindrical.

NOTE.

ZIZIPHINUS MULTILIRATUS, Sow. (P.ZS., 1875, p. 127,
