KUNGL. SV. VET. AKADEMIENS HANDLINGAR. BAND 52. N:o I[6. 61 
knobs) on the upper whorls, and in the absence of spinous nodules on them; even 
the longitudinal folds are considerably broader and rounded. — E. A. Smuru (1903) 
mentions this species from the Maldives and the Philippines. 
Ph. senticosus Linnt. 45 miles W. S. W., 54 feet (*/:), 1 shell, 1. 29 mm. — 
Distribution: Philippines (Tryon 1881), East Indian Archipelago (ScHEPMAN 1911); 
Queensland (HrpLey 1910); Victoria (PRircHarD & Gariirr 1897). 
Tritonidea (— Cantharus) fumosa (Dintwyn). 45 miles W. S. W., 60—70 feet 
(78/7), 2 sps, max. h. 45 mm. The specimens are like Rrrve’s Buccinum proteus 
(Conch. Icon. 3, 1846, fig. 51 a), which Tryon 1881 (Man. of Conch., Vol. III) unites 
with Cantharus (= Tritonidea) fumosus. Distribution: Red Sea—Japan, Australia, 
Polynesia (TRyYoN 1881). 
FAM. NASSIDAE. 
Nassa livida Gray (= unicolorata Krenur). 45 miles W. 8S. W., 66 feet, 3 
sps, max. |. 28. mm; 54 feet (°/:), 1 sp., 1. 26 mm. Distribution: W., N. and FE. 
coasts of Australia (BRAzinR 1886); Moluccas (ScHEPMAN 1911, v. Marrens 1903). 
N. particeps Hrepirey. 45 miles W. S. W., 72 feet (?/7), 1 sp., 1. 20mm. Like 
N. suturalis LaMARCK, but without sutural nodules; encircling red lines interrupted 
on the last half of the body whorl and accentuated in pairs, the median, upper, and 
lower ones being darker. The pairs are transversally connected by brown stripes 
and flames. Reevn’s fig. 11 (Conch. Icon. 8) shows the closest agreement with the 
present specimen. Hrpiey (1915) discusses the synonyms and the distribution of 
the species. In 1917 he gives a figure and some ecological notices of it. 
N. elegans Kirnrer. 42 miles W. 8. W., 36—60 feet (''/:), 2 sps, max. h. 14 
mm. The colour is ivory white with some obscure longitudinal stripes, most obvious 
on the back, but without any revolving brown bands, which Tryon (1882), gives 
as characteristics. 4—5 sharp striae encircle the base. Tryon gives »So. Australia» 
as its habitat. Scnurpman (1911) records it from Makassar and Moluccas, v. MARTENS 
(1880) from Mauritius, Metvinn & SranpeEN (1901, 1909) from the Persian Gulf to 
Andaman Isl. 
FAM. COLUMBELLIDAE. 
Columbella (Atilia) conspersa Gaskorn. 45 miles W. 8S. W., 70 feet (?/:), 1 
sp., h. 13.3 mm, like the figure in TRyon (Man. of Conch., Vol. V, 1883, Pl. 52, fig. 
77 =fig. 99 in Reeve, Conch. Icon., Vol. 11, 1858). — Distribution: Persian Gulf 
(Metvitt & STANDEN 1901); Philippines, N. E,. Australia, New Caledonia (Tryon 1883). 
C. (Meta) philippinarum Reciuz. 45 miles W. S. W., 48 feet (°/7), 1 sp., 1. 
17.3 mm; 66 feet (7°/r), 1 sp., 1. 18 mm. — Distribution: Andaman Islands, Philip- 
pines, N. Borneo (HE. A. Smrru 1904).
