The bands when seen through the aperture are opaque white. Lip white, deep rose, or purple. TMiorls 6, the last carinate, flattened below, descending in front but very slightly, if at all. Out- Une of the spire straight. Apex smooth, light buff or purple. Aperture oblique, lip strongly expanded, shghtly reflexed. Columella broadly dilated, nearly perpendicular. Parietal callous very thin. G. d. mm. 1. d. 20 mm. alt. mm. This species belongs to the group of P. met a, differing by being less solid, with the surface dull rather than shining, in having the last.

The characteristic snow-white band of P. meta is adjacent to the suture while in P. fulakorensis there is a narrow^ space between the upper band and the suture. In fulakoroisis the back of the lip is unstained. From Papuina beatrix it may be distinguished by its broad flat base and broadly expanded lip. The radula (Fig. 32, M. C. Z. 32,491, slide 1,885) is of the v-shaped type, having about 100 rows of teeth witli a formula of 110-1-110. There is no ectocone on the outer laterals as in vexillaris and boivini. The irregularly notched edge of the mesocone is present in those teeth not yet used for Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been
