Show 1883.] M. J A C O B Y O N N E W SPECIES O F BEETLES. 399 of the species now under consideration. They compare the genus with Actaon, which, according to them, the shells of Bullina greatly resemble. Their figures show the spire more or less raised; and they mention that the species are from Japan, Ceylon, and Australia. Woodward, in his ' Manual,' gives Bullina of Ferussac as a synonym of Aplustrum, Schumacher, which was founded on the well-known Bulla aplustre of Linne. Bullina of Risso (1826) is the same as Cylichna of Loven, and ought to take precedence of the latter name ; its type was Bulla cylindracea of Pennant. I have two more undescribed species of Cryptaxis from the ' Porcu-piue ' Expedition. EXPLANATION OF PLATE XLIV. Fig. 1. Cocculina spinigera, p. 393. 1 a. Prickles or spines, magnified. 1 b.
