 at the upper part and with a deep suture ; aperture 

 ova], outer lip deeply grooved within ; columellar lip 

 slightly rugulose in front, with 3 plaits ; canal distinct ; 

 length 9, breadth 55. New South Wales, the late

26 Cane, spirata Lam. Conch. lUustr. f. 25. I have received 



several specimens of this species from Garden Island. 

 Mr. Gray has informed me that the specimens under 

 this name in Lamarcks own collection are not Cancel- 

 lariae ; the description given in his Hist. nat. des anim. 

 sans vertebres, accords, however, so perfectly with 

 my shells, that I cannot hesitate to regard them as 

 Lamarck's species. 



27 Cane, obliquata Lam. Conch. Illustr. f. 26. Haynam. 



28 Cane, scalata nobis. Conch. Illustr. f. 27. Shell oblong, 



reddish brown, spire acuminated; volutions six, with 

 a bluntly angular-edged and broad groove next to the 

 suture, the margin of which groove is crenulated ; the 

 volutions covered with longitudinal, somewhat nodulose 

 ribs, the interstices of which have a few cross-striae; 

 aperture white, oval, truncated and with an internal 

 tubercle at the upper part, outer lip grooved within ; 

 Golumella with four small plaits, rugulose, umbilicus 

 small, narrow ; length 1-2, breadth 0-7. East Indies. 



29 Cane, contabulata nobis. Conch. Illustr. f. 28. Shell 



oval, pale brown, nodulose-ribbed ; spire rather short ; 

 volutions five, ventricose, their upper part next the 

 suture flat, with a bluntly angular edge ; nodulose 

 longitudinal ribs continued obliquely over the flat space 

 to the suture ; aperture large, white, oval, truncated at 

 its upper part ; outer lip grooved within ; columella 

 with four small plaits, of which the upper one is very 

 small; umbilicus small: length 1-2, breadth 8.
