 collected off Cape Hatteras in 63 fathoms. 



MuREx Bednalli Angas. 



Marex Bednalli Angas, Proc. ZooL Soc, 1880, p. 418, pi. xl, fig. 2. 



This species strongly resembles Murex triformis Reeve, 

 from the same region. Specimens before me agree quite well 

 with the description given by Angas. It may prove to be but 

 a well-developed form of this species or, perhaps, a variety. 

 Murex hipunctatus Reeve may eventually prove to be a 

 variety of triformis.

I am strongly inclined to consider this species a variety of 



Trojjhon vaginatus Jan. It is said to differ from that species 



in being more tumid on the base, more constricted at the 



anterior canal, has a straighter canal, a less contracted suture, 



and a more depressed spire.. The figure given by Watson is 



excellent. It was collected off Patagonia in 175-245 fms., 



blue mud. 



Trophon Baileyana Tenison-Woods. 



Trophon Baileyana Tenison-Woods, Trans. Royal Soc. Victoria, XVII, 

 p. 80, fig. 1, 2. 



I have seen specimens of Trophon Flindersi Adams & 

 Ano-as, which strongly resembled this species, although there 

 are some points in which Baileyana differs considerably, as 

 in the sculpture and form of the spire. It is an Australian 

 species.
