This species has not yet been figured. This opportunity is, 

 therefore, taken of publishing an illustration of an authentic 

 Tasnianian specimen received from the author of the species. 

 The individual drawn measured 6 mm. in length and 2-5 mm. in 

 breadth. Attention may be directed to the peculiar apex, of 

 which the describer took no notice.

This species, vaguely assigned to " Australia " and not very 

 definitely described, has never been recognised by Australian 

 Conchologists. Tryon considers it identical with T. bicolor, Angas, 

 a determination denied by Pritchard and Gatliff. There is a 

 species of Terebra, locally known as T. assimilis, Angas, which 

 I have collected at Manly Beach, and seen from other points of 

 our coast. This I now figure and describe with the suggestion 

 that it is probably Hinds' long-lost species. Though closely allied 

 to T. bicolor, it is separable by form, stronger fewer ribs, and 

 different colour-pattern. It appears to be a deeper water species 

 than T. bicolor. 



Shell small, rather stout, turreted, glossy. Colour of diverse 

 patterns and shades. One before me is entirely dull white, 

 another wholly a rich chestnut, others are cream variously 

 streaked with purple-brown. Whorls ten, separated by an 

 impressed suture. Nucleus dark brown, smooth, of two whorls. 

 The next two are more elongate with incipient longitudinal 

 ribbing. A third of each of the succeeding six whorls is occupied
