Hah. — Gippsland Lakes Entrance, Victoria (Coll. Mrs. A. F. 

 Kenyon). 



This shell when in a good state of preservation must be a very 

 beautiful one; the longitudinal and transverse opaque white and 

 reddish-brown interrupted lines give it the appearance of being 

 reticulated at the upper and lower parts, showing pale in the 

 middle below the angle. The outer lip is very much bi'oken, and 

 a little off the apex is missing. I have named it after my 

 kinsman, Mr. R. C. Rossiter, of New Caledonia, who made 

 valuable collections at Corner Inlet, Port Fairy, Hobson's Bay, 

 and other places in Victoria in the early part of the ' sixties.' 



Gippsland Lakes Entrance is also the home of the fine Voluta 

 Roadknighti, McCoy.
