niamillato, whorls 9, angled above, convex, sloping, ribbed 

 lengthwise with small distant subacute ribs (in the last whorl 

 16), which persist over the angle to the suture, transvei-sely 

 finely valiJly lirate, with small raised liraD, alternately largo 

 and small, which pass over the ribs, and there become subno- 

 dose ; aperture white, broadly ovate ; outer lip thin, ex- 

 panded, incurved, thickened, smooth within, deeply sinuate 

 behind, lip flattened, smooth. 



Kare, Long Bay, dredged from a sandy bottom at 10 

 fathoms, Eev. H. D. Atkinson. A very pretty shell, finely 

 Bculi^tured, usually very well preserved. 



TuRRiTELLA GKANULiFERA. n.s. T. t. acuminato-turrita, cras- 

 sinscula, lutea stipenie et infra fiUvo fasciata; anfractibus 12, con- 

 fertim loiigitudhuditcr striatis, striis undulosis ; transversim unicar- 

 natis, caruui gnDiidosa, et obsolete, infra et sxtpra codatis ; apertura 

 subqiutdrata ; labro in medio sinuato. Long. 25. Lat. 8. 



T. shell acuminately turretted, somewhat thick ; yellowish, 

 with brown bands above and below, whorls 12, thickly longi- 

 tudinally striate, with undulating strice; transversely one 

 keeled ; keel granulose and obsoletely ribbed above and below, 

 aperture subquadrate ; outer lip sinuate in the middle. 



A very distinct species, with a granular keel, which is of 

 rare occurrence in the genus. Port Arthur, somewhat 

 common. 



TuRRiTELLA ACUTA. T. t. acutissime lanceolato-turrita, alba, ad 

 basim acuta angulata et concava ; anfractibiis 15,planulatis, liratis ; 

 et lorvjit. uwiidoso striatis ; striis, sub-lainellosis ; apertura oblique 

 ocata. Long. 30. Lat. G. 



T. shell very acutely lanceolately turretted, white, acutely 

 angulate and concave at the base, whorls 15, flattened, 7 lirate 

 and longitudinally undulately striate, with lamellar and very 

 minutely dentate striae ; aperture oblique, ovate.

Trfncatella tasma^ica. n.s. T. t. decollata cylindraceo-turrita, 

 parva, tenui, nitente, pallida ; anfractibiis 5 (non decoll. 7) convexi- 

 usculis, plicis paixis sub-acutis,confertissime instructis (in ult. anfrac. 

 SO-35) apertura pyriformis ; superne angidata et sulcata ; labro 

 himargiyuito sub-expanso, labio inflexo. Long. 7. Lat. 3. 



T. shell decollate, cylindrically turretted, small, thin, 

 shining, pale fulvous, whorls 5 (if not decollate 7), somewhat 

 convex, furnished very thickly with small subacute plaits (in 

 last whorl 30-35) ; aperture pyriform, angulate and sulcate 

 above ; outer lip bi-marginate sub-expanded ; lip reflected ; 

 peristome continuous. 



Bass Straits, common. The plaits or ribs on the shell are 

 very like those on most Scalaria. For my own part I think, 

 it very difficult to distinguish the species from T. teres, Pfr.,
