 varix prominent, more massive tliau the ribs; simis shallow; canal beut, 

 short, and oi)eu. Lengtli 7 mm., breadth 8 mm. 



This species has a general resemblance to P. spelceodea Hervier, from 

 New Caledonia, but is smaller, thinuei', less cylindrical, and with fewer 

 radials and spirals, resulting in larger meshes in the sculpture.

This species is the type of the genus Pseudodaphnella. Hervier has 

 already noticed that it is subject to considerable variation in size, dis- 

 position of coloui-, number of radial ribs, and density of spiral cords. On 

 the lust wliorl of an example from Cape Grenville I counted thirty-four 

 spirals. The a])ex (PI. Iv., fig. 185) of a shell I gathered alive at Murray 

 Island is small, brown, and of two w^horls, the first finely spirally grooved, 

 the second with numerous close fine radial riblets.
