persistent, and, therefore, the species not easily mistaten. I 

 confess, however, that if this species could lose the white bands, 

 and were to have the mouth lirate within, I should re^^ard it 

 as a variety of M. scifa. I think the lirce are not persistent in 

 the latter, and, therefore, the shell may be the same.

King's Island, somewhat common. Coll. Legrand. Speci- 

 mens which had been mixed with M. teresios. Very distinct 

 from its size, and intense uniform coloring, though belonging 

 to the series of which M. hadia is a large representative.

Eare, East Coast. Coll. Legrand. The minute angular 

 zone on this shell is not easily seen even under the micro- 

 scope, because of the ferruginous epidermis. This shell has 

 been dedicated to the Eev. H. D. Atkinson, whose dredging 

 operations have done so much to develop the knowledge of 

 Tasmanian conchology.
