Common on the East Coast, Storm Bay, etc. It may be 

 only a variety of G. hadia, wliicli it resembles in sliape and 

 size, but the markings seem only to vary within certain limits ; 

 becoming sometimes an interrupted band of blood red spots. 



CoLUMBELLA LEGRANDT. n.s. C. t. parva, subulata, tenui, nitente, 

 castanea, maculls niveis fulvo umhratis ad suturas cingulata; apice mamil- 

 lato ; anfractibus, 6, elonyatis, convexls, transverslm subtUUssime Uneatis ; 

 apertura elonfjata ovata ; labro tenui, simpUci. Long. 7|. Lat. 2. 



C. shell small, subulate, thin, shiny chestnut, girdled at the 

 suture with a band of snowy spots, shaded with fulvous brown ; 

 apex mamillate ; whorls 6, elongate, convex, very finely trans- 

 versely lined ; aperture elongately ovate ; outer lip, thin, 

 simple. 



King's Island, very rare. Two specimens only submitted to 

 me, but both well preserved. A small mamillated subulate 

 form, which cannot be mistaken for any other. 



CoLUMBELLA MiNUTA. n.s. G. t. ovata minuta, Icevi, nitente, pallide 

 castanea longitudinaliter crebr4 lineis castaneis ornata, et Tnactdi.t albis 

 transverslm bifasciata ; anfractibus 5, planulato tumidis ; apertura ovata, 

 postlce acuta, labro incrassato, intus dentato. Long. 3. Lat. ]J. 



C. shell ovate, minute, smooth, shiny, pale chestnut, very 

 thickly ornamented with chestnut longitudinal lines, bifasciate 

 transversely with white spots ; whorls 6, somewhat flatly 

 tumid, aperture ovate, acute posteriorly, outer lip thickened, 

 dentate within. 



Swansea, East Coast, common. One of the smallest Colu- 

 mbellas known, and like all its congeners variable in color, but 

 in the unworn specimens, the above characters seem pretty 

 constant. 



EucHELUS TASMANicus, n.s. E. t. parva depresso-turbinata, cameo 

 alba, pjunctis rufis aliquando in lineis obliquis maculata ; anfractibus 4, 

 declivi-rotundatis, Uris gramdosis creberrim6 gemmatis, interstitiis longi- 

 tudinaliter pUcatis, ad suturas canalicidato imjwessis ; apertura obliqu6 

 ovata, subcirculari ; labro intus lirato ; labia post cohimellam bisulcato, et 

 obliqu6 striato. Diam. maj. 6, min. 5. 



E. shell small, depressedly turbinate, fleshy white, spotted 

 with red points, which are sometimes disposed in oblique 

 lines ; whorls 4, slopingly rounded, thickly gemmed with 

 granule us lirse, the interstices plaited lengthwise, with a chan- 

 nelled impression at the sutures ; aperture obliquely ovate, 

 subcircular, outer lip lirate within, inner lip bisulcate and 

 obliquely sulcate behind the columella. 



Long Bay, Bruui Island, and S. Coast. This somewhat 

 gibbous Euchelus appears to have traces of nacreous iri- 

 descence, internally. It is very distinct in size (being the 

 smallest of our species) from E. haccafus, Mice, though some- 

 what near shape and color. Kather scarce.
