theIndian Ocean. We recollect to have seen another species,in some cabinet, with a small operculum. We have beenfearful of pronouncing this to be the O. biplicata, as thejudicious Conchologist will perceive the two descriptionsdo not exactly agree ; and we have another to which thecharacters given of bliplicata will equally well apply. Theperpendicular line indicates the natural size. OLIVA eburnea. Ivory Olive. Shell entirely xchitc, or marked by tico bands of angulatcdpurplish spots; pillar about 8-9 plaited: basal belt andspire ahvays ivhite ; the former single, Oliva eburnea. Lam. Syst. 7. I. p. 438. This is the very common little Olive, sent in such abund-ance in the West India boxes of shells ; we figure it, be-cause it is seldom rightly named in collections, being con-founded with conoidalis. oryza, and several others of anequally diminutive size: the plaits are sharp, short, welldefined, and nearly all of equal size ; although the base ofthe pillar forms an internal elevation.

We frequently captured this Butterfly on the skirts of tiieBrazilian forests : its flight is bold and powerful, but it lovesto bask on those leafy spots, where the sun, darting- througha small opening of the dense foliage, illuminates a littlespace with sparkling brightness. The poor and somewhat inaccurate figure of this insectin Cramers work, is the only representation yet published.We have not had leisure to investigate its scientific rela-tions,further than to ascertain its clo
