Turricula (Pusia) festa Rrerve (Pl. 2, fig. 56). 42 miles W. S. W., 70 feet 
(°°/s), 1 sp., h. 1L mm, br. 3.9; aperture 4.6 mm; colour ash gray, brownish on the 
lower half of the last whorl, on the apex and above the sutures; columella with 4 
folds. There are 17 longitudinal folds on a whorl and 6 spiral sulci on the penulti- 
mate whorl. As it is impossible to fix a single specimen without material for com- 
parison, I give a figure of the specimen in question. The sculpture and the colour 
is very similar to M. (Coslellaria) gotoensis KE. A. Smiru 1879 (Proce. Zool. Soc., p. 
215, fig. 51, pl. XX), but this latter is somewhat narrower than the present species. 
Distribution: the Philippines (TRyoNn 1882). 
FAM. MURICIDAE. 
Murex axicornis Lamarck. 45 miles W. S. W., 60—72 feet, 4 sps, max. 1. 59 
mm. Agrees in colour and sculpture with Pl. 16, fig. 161 and 163 in Tryon (Man. of 
Conch., Vol. 2, 1880). Distribution: Persian Gulf (Metvitt & StanpeEn 1911), Ceylon, 
Andaman Isl. (EH. A. Smrrn 1904, 1906), S. Africa (BArtscH 1915), Ind. Archipelago 
(ScHEPMAN 1911), Queensland (HEDLEY 1910). 
M. cervicornis Lamarck. 45 miles W. S. W., 60—72 feet, 2 sps, max I. 58 
mm. Distribution: Port Darwin (Hrpiey 1889), Queensland (HrpiEry 1910), Aru 
Isl. (ScHEPMAN 1911), W. Australia (HEDLEY 1916). 
M. denudatus Perry (= palmiferus Sowrrsy). 45 miles W. S. W., 66—70 feet 
(®/6, °°/7), 2 sps, max. |]. 14.5 mm. For the nomenclature of this species see HEDLEY 
1903. Distribution: Red Sea, all Australian coasts, New Caledonia (BRAzrER 1892). 
M. brevispina Lamarck. 42 miles W. 8S. W., 42 feet (*/7), 1 shell, 1. 57 mm. 
Distribution: Red Sea, 8. Africa, N. Australia, Queensland (Tryon 1880, Hepiey 1910). 
FAM. CANCELLARIIDAE. 
Cancellaria septemcostata n. sp. (PI. 2, fig. 57). Shell ovate ventricose with 
short spire and a wide and deep umbilicus. Whorls 5 °/s4, the apical 2 */2 rounded 
and smooth, the sequent ones planulated or slightly excavated and sharply angu- 
lated in their upper part, strongly plicated longitudinally, the costae 7 in a com- 
plete whorl, becoming more distant towards the aperture;' umbilicus not costate 
within. Spiral lirae of alternating thickness, about 12 large ones in the last whorl 
with interjacent smaller ones. Besides this sculpture faint punctures arranged in 
somewhat irregular longitudinal rows. Aperture high triangular with 3-plicated colu- 
mella and slightly rifled outer lip. Colour light yellowish brown, aperture of the 
same colour, white-lipped. Locality: 45 miles W. 8S. W., 66 feet (*/7), 1 sp., h. 10.5, 
br. 8, h. of aperture 6 mm. 
In form this species approaches C. bicolor Hinps (Rrnve, Conch. Icon. 18, 1875, 
fig. 29, and Lospeke, Martini & CHEMNITZ, Cancellaria, 1887, Taf. 22, fig. 34), but 
differs in its fewer costae and in the fine stippling all over. 
' In the last whorl the costa behind the aperture has certainly been suppressed occasionally.
