A handsome species, formerly very rare. The form is more strict- 

 ly conical than usual in Chmculiis, The fine granulation nearly 

 uniform, color, minutely dotted with darker and beneath usually 

 with white, are characters separating maugeri from other species. 

 The specimens before me are iVom Port Jackson, collec-ted by
