Obs. — The type of M. alternata is in the National Museum, 

 Melbourne. We agree with Sowerby in uniting the two species 

 of Adams and Angas, as we have a full series connecting them, 

 but we give precedence to the name first mentioned by the 

 describers. We are not altogether satisfied as to the above 

 generic location, for it seems to us neither a typical Bela, nor a 

 Mangilia, but in some respects recalls Daphnella, but even this 

 is not wholly satisfactory; therefore, pending further consideration 

 we refer to it as above.
