Columbella semi-convexa. LaDiarck, Vol. 10, p. 171. The large 

 common Columbella of extra tropical Australia and Tasmania.. It is foimd 

 of almost every color, variously marked, and even pure white ; outer lip den- 

 ticulate. With this species must be united the C. sacckarata, Reeve, which 

 is only one of the many variations to which it is subject. Long. 18, lat. 8, 

 whorls 6. 



Columbella lincolnensis. Jleere, Icon pi. 29, fig. 184. An acuminate

Columbella (^sopus) pilosa. Angas. Proc. Zool. Soc, 1867, p. 111. A 

 small turretted hrate ^species, with zone of faint brown spots. N.C., rare ; 

 and S.E.A. 



Columbella minima. Angas. This shell is probably C. inferrupta, Angas. 

 It has a mamillated Natica-like apex, as in that shell, and is striated at the 

 base, but the coloring is sometimes difierent. The specific name chosen by 

 Mr. Angas is pre-occupied (see Zool. Proc, 1851) and as his own name has 

 already been bestowed in the genus, my designation may be retained. 



Natica conica. LamarcTc, Vol. 8, p. 632. A smooth, polished, conical 

 shell, pale pinkish, banded darker on the upper part of the whorls. Long. 

 41, lat. 25. Very common. S.A., S.E.A. 



Natica POLiTA. Tenison-Woods, Proceed, of Society, 1875, where it is 

 described as a fossil among those of Table Cape. It has since been found 

 by Rev. H. D. Atkinson, W. Legrand, and others about Bruni Island. 

 Small, white, deeply channelled at the suture. 



Natica tasmanica. Tenison-Woods. More nearly resembling Natica 

 leucophcea, Reeve, than any other, but that shell is a dull brown and lead 

 color, with a deep red enaaiel all round the mouth and callus, the latter 

 closing the imabilicus. It occurs at Port Jackson. 



Natica nana. Tenison- Woods. 



Ruma umbilicata. Quoy, Voy. de VAstrol., Vol. 2, p. 224, pi. QQ, fig. 22. 

 A thin, milky shell, yellowish white, with three bands of chestnut spots. 

 Common, and S.A. 



Ruma globosa. Tenison- W@ods. I now doubt if this shell is more than 

 a white variety of the preceding.
