here illustrated a shell, 14 mm, long, from 5-8 fathoms, Hope 

 Islands. The Queensland example is the largest seen. 



Another member of the genus unrecorded for Australia, is 

 Glyphosloma ocellatnni Jousseaume,* of which I took an example 

 at Green Island, off Cairns. 



^Langelia anxia, n.sp. 

 (Plate xliii., fig.89.) 



Shell small, solid, subc} lindiical, shoulder sloping, body per- 

 pendicular, base excavate, sharply angled at base and shoulder. 

 Colour: all specimens seen are faded, but appear to have been 

 buff, the protoconch and spots on the lower whorls darker, the 

 basal keel white. Whorls three, and a protoconch of three and 

 one-half whorls, of which the iirst is turbinate, slightly tilted 

 and engraved witli microscopic spirally punctured lines, followed 

 b}' two transitional whorls keeled at periphery, and ornamented 

 by fine close obliquely radiating riblets. Adult sculpture : on 

 the body-whorl, fifteen spiral cords, of which the third and eighth 

 are prominent, expressing the angle above and below the barrel 

 of the whorl, the basal cords broken into beads; penultimate with 

 six, and antepenultimate with three spirals. Broader than the 

 spirals are the perpendicular radials, fourteen on the last whorl, 

 and proportionately fewer on the rest. Commencing at the 

 suture and vanishing on the base, they raise tubercles at the 

 intersection of the spirals. The resulting meshes enclose deep 

 pits in which is a microscopic shagreen surface. Aperture con- 

 tracted, straight above, flexed below, fortified by a broad strong 

 varix, out of which a deeply notched subcircular anal sulcus is 

 excavated. The spiral sculpture traverses the varix. Within 

 the outer lip are four tubercles. Inner lip excavate. Canal 

 short, broad. Length 3*3; breadth 1-1 mm. 



Several specimens, from 5-10 fathoms, Hope Island. On the 

 assumption that it was immature, a single example from Mast
