Hab. — Western Port. 



Obs. — We are rather doubtful as to whether this shell is 

 correctly classed generically, species of Columbella that are allied 

 to this in general form, usually have the outer iip thickened and 

 dentate or lirate within ; in the species under notice the lip is 

 always thin, acute, and simple. In general habit the shell is 

 closely allied to Mangelia anomala, Angas, but it does not attain 

 to so large a size. 



Note. — The shells of this genus are abundant on our coast, 

 those of the sub-genus Mitrella especially so, and it is difficult to 

 define the species, the colouration is so variable that it generally 

 is of very little specific value. The species C. austrina and C. 

 lineolata are exceptions.
