 with color, as is this species. 1" 25c 



19. Calliostoma meyeri, Phil. Tasmania. Also 

 figured on P. ate. 



20. Cassis bandatum, Ire. Australia. This 

 shell much resembles glauca, which is found all 

 over the Pacific area. The specimens sent me 

 come from Australia are faintly spotted, smooth, 

 shiney, lip flesh-colored. Top of each whorl has 

 a row of small tubercles. 2 i*> to 3" 1.00

 tions in this country. 3" 2.50

 is richly adorned with lines in form of triangle 

 and the narrow mantle is barred. 1" 50c 



22. Cassis bicarrinata, Jon. Australia. Super- 

 ficially this shell resembles the previous species 

 but there are prominent distinctions. It has two 

 rows of knobs on upper part of last whorl. The 

 vertical lines are less pronounced and there are 

 wavy brownish markings throughout. Specimen 

 figured was 3". 2.50

 lia. One of the dainty forms of this great family,
