elevated lamellae, commencing at the suture and ending as imbricating 

 scales on the snout ; there are sixteen on the last whorl. Aperture : — 

 Lip simple, sinus short and snbsutnial ; canal short. Length 155 min., 

 breadth 0"85 mm. 



Allied to N. excavata, to which at first I had referred it. On recon- 

 sideration I think it separable by shorter, broader form, and by more 

 numerous radials, which do not project at the siionlder as in excavata.

This genus resembles Daphvella in foi'm and genei'al appearance, but 

 differs in having the nucleus spirally grooved instead of being obliquely 

 I'eticulated. The contour is lanceolate rather than oval ; the shell has 

 usually more whorls, increasing- less rapidly, with a longer and more 

 turreted spire; and the anal fascicle is usually more marked than in 

 Daphnella, being more excavate, and crossed by sharp crescentic riblets. 

 Some members of this genus have a superficial resemblance to Defrancia, 

 under which genus they have been arranged. 



GlatJiK.rella lUctyota Hutton, and DapJtiiella ai-iileata Webster, from 

 New Zealand, may be included here. 



The citation by Schmeltz^^ of Defrancia piimila Mighels from Bass 

 Straits is an obvious error. Clathurella reticosta Adams and Angas^^l*^ 

 is a synonym of the British Mangilia purpurea Montagu.
