Tryon incorrectly united this with A. herandiaiia, but tliey are clearly 

 separable. A. angasi has the intercostal spaces coloux^ed chocolate. 

 A. heraudiana is a stouter shorter shell, with fewer, more widely spaced 

 ribs. In the Bx'itish Museum seven specimens are marked as types of 

 A. avgasi. 



This species does not occur in New Zealand. The name of AH<tro- 

 drillia rniriteitsis is now proposed for a species from the Bay of Islands, 

 which Mr. Suter has mistakenly figured and described*! as Drillia anijittsi. 

 The New Zealand species differs from the real lon/u.-ii b}^ shorter, broader 

 form, orange-brown colour, shorter ribs, and deep conspicuous spiral 

 grooves.
