Columbella kincaidi: Shell very small, narrow throughout, yellowish with white band on last whorl below periphery; whorls 5,5 including protoconch, which is bulbous, glossy white and crossed by a series of fine close very oblique lines; axial ribs somewhat obsolete and on the body-whorl hardly traceable ; spiral lirae very regular and separated by flat interstices, which are twice as broad as the lirae; aperture long and narrow, almost the same breadth throughout and about two-fifths of the length of the shell
A tiny shell which is nearest to my apicibulbus, but differs therefrom in colour, sculpture and shape of aperture. It resembles langleyi Sow. in protoconch and in sculpture throughout, but differs from it in shape, especially in being much narrower, and it has a very different aperture.
Length slightly under 3 mm.; max. diam. 1 mm. HAB.—East London (Kincaid).
