The above synonymy is partly taken from that compiled by 

 Brazier, who has published an excellent paper on Tasmanian 

 TrochidcB in Proc. Roy. Soc. Tasmania, for 1886. 



Rather variable in sculpture ; the spaces between the spiral ribs 

 often occupied b}' lirulpe. 



I am wholly unable to see any differential characters in INIr. 

 Angas' T. woodsiana, except that it is narrower than the majority 

 of specimens of C. conicus. The description corresponds absolutely 

 with C. conicus. The original figures are copied on pi. 46, figs. 

 67, 68. 



C BLANDiANUS Crosse. PI. 40, fig. 22.
