One specimen. A very distinct white shell with moniliferus whorls 

 rising in stages. (Tegison- Woods). 



I have not seen this species. It is evidently closely related to the 

 preceding.

 surface five coarse beaded lirae, the fifth forming the periphery ; 

 base slightly convex, bearing six beaded lirse ; interstices between the 

 lirse finely obliquely striate ; aperture rounded-tetragonal, pearly

A solid little species, allied to the preceding, but differing in 

 coloration etc. The specimens before me exceed the types in altitude. 

 A variety from Tasmania is of a uniform deep j)urple color, (pi. 14, 

 fig. 33.) It may be called var. purpuratus.

Shell imperforate, having a little hollow or depression at the place 

 of the umbilicus, orbicularly conoid or subdepressed, thick, solid ;
