There is a shell somewhat like this in Dr. Cox's collection 

 marked M. ptdclierrima, but v/ithout any reference. It differs 

 from M. tasmanica by the raised lirae being connected by 

 innumerable fine close transverse riblets. It comes nearest to 

 the New South Wales M. angulata, Adams, of which it may 

 possibly be only a variety, but the upper part of the whorls 

 are not angular. Color cannot be relied on as it is very 

 variable in tbe genus.

Shell small, depressed, turbinate, broadly umbilicate, rather 

 solid, bluish brown and obscurely spotted and clouded ; 

 whorls 6, rather convex, obliquely, thickly, and neatly striate, 

 strice passing over the lirse but not over the granules, aperture

 columella obsoletely unidentate subreflected, umbilicus white, 

 smooth ; base flattened spirally and smoothly lirate. South 

 coast. Rare. W. F. Petterd. Diflers from known species in 

 the smoothly lirate base and the absence of tubercles round the 

 lip, columella or umbilicus.
