Shell ovate in outline, with a large expanded mouth. Spire short; — 
whorls five, rapidly enlarging. Nuclear whorls smooth, rather large, 
mammilliform, making the spire obtuse at tip, the two first whorls 
increasing but little in breadth. The body-whorl is very large, with 
the shoulder well rounded, suture well-marked. Aperture large, 
almost semicircular, the outer lip regularly curved, the margin 
everted and sharp. Columella with a concave bend in the middle 
and a slightly prominent twisted lobe at the base of the siphon, which 
is short, broad, open, and but slightly curved. No obvious sculpture, 
except rather conspicuous lines of growth, parallel with the edge of 
the lip. A large, smooth, glazed area in front of the columella on 
the body-whorl. Color externally white, tinged with brown; nucleus 
yellowish ; interior pink, the edge of the lip flesh-color. 
Length, 72"; breadth, 44™™; length of aperture, 54™™; its

This species has been recorded by Miss Bush from Henley Harbor 
and Temple Bay, Labrador, in 8 to 15 fathoms. 
The excellent figure referred to, illustrates the typical, well devel- 
oped form of this species.

therefore restores the name, Haliweti, for this species. I have no
