Shell irregularly triangular, ventricose, spire almost hidden, 

 white, shining, solid ; whorls 6, the last alone visible. This is 

 angular and flattened above, with a row of granules on the angle. 

 There are four rows of granules, the lower two of which are 

 almost obsolete. The spire only slightly slopes, and the apex is 

 mammilate. The suture is conspicuous and slightly corrugate. 

 Aperture narrow, long, and slightly flexuous. Labruni broad, 

 thick, flattened, reflexed regularly and somewhat distantly toothed 

 within. Lip much reflexed and expanded, thickened at the 

 margin, anteriorly laminate and sulcate. Columella irregularly 

 toothed, in two lines, the anterior and inner line long, narrow, 

 close and interupted by a groove ; the outer and upper line more 

 regular, elevated on a kind of ridge and ending in two large teeth. 

 Canal short, twisted, with a conspicuous goove behind. 



Moreton Island, rare. The general form is somewhat like 

 Cassis fimbriate, but it is not a tenth of the size, is quite white, 

 and more solid. The almost flat spire and the very solid outer 

 lip are very characteristic. All the individuals met with were 

 about the same size.
