granular, and exhibits more coloration both externally and within 

 the aperture. The umbilicus is more closed than in the j)resent 

 sj)ecies, and is surrounded by a brown zone.

Hah. — Dirk Hartog Island, W. Australia (Cox and J. J. "Walker). 



Three dead specimens obtained by Mr. Walker appear to belong to 

 this species. They are adult and larger than that figured by Cox, 

 which has the appearance of being somewhat immature. The largest 

 is 24 mm. long and 16 in diameter; aperture 14 mm. in length, 8 

 wide. Five other examples are considerably smaller, averaging only 

 15 to 18 mm. in length. They are a trifie less globose, and more 

 strongly granular just below the suture,

This species has been considered by Pfeiffer and Cox a variety of 

 B. melo. I am inclined to think that it is sufiiciently distinct for 

 specific separation. It is of thinner texture, not quite so broad and 

 robust, has a thinner white columella with a purplish brown zone 

 around the closed umbilical region. In B. melo the umbilicus is 

 slightly open, the columella more thickened, more reflexed, and of a 

 purple-brown tint, and there is no basal zone of that colour. In the 

 latter character B. Kingii agrees with the present species, but is more 

 elongate in form. 



The variety Brazieri is rather more coarsely granular than the 

 typical form, but agrees in other respects. 



Another variety (PL VII. Fig. 31) is like the type, excepting in
