Shell ovate-fuciform, rufous, with a tvhite band near the suture,transversely striated and punctured, suture and outer lip cre-nated, base contracted; spire shorter than the aperture. Less distinctly striated and punctured than the last; butdiffers considerably in being almost a fuciform shell : thebase of the aperture is consequently contracted. We pos-sess but one specimen, and know not its locality. M I T R A punctata. Shell ovate, brown, striated and punctured: spire very small, some-what conic: outer lip crenated: pillar six-pluited.

The buff-coloured yellow which spreads over the upperplumage of this bird, in some lights becomes much richer,and delicately gilded. The wings appear to be sea-green,but this colour only margins the borders of the feathers, theinner parts of which are blackish : the tail is coloured inthe same way, the feathers divaricating from the middle,which is slight
