SiGARETUS zoNALis. Qimj, loc. cit. Vol. 5, p. 2, pi. 66, fig. 1 to 3. Ovate, 

 depressed, obsoletely striate, with a short, scarcely prominent spire, milky 

 white ; colmnella thin, arcuate, with an umbilicus covered. Long, and lat. 

 18. Common and in S.A., as far as King George's Sound, where Quoy ob- 

 tained it. S. Hanley describes S. australis (Conchologists' Book of Species, 

 London, 1842, pi. 1, p. 67) which Eeeve (Icon., pi. 3, fig. 15 and 16) con- 

 siders a different species, being more constricted at the spire. I cannot 

 see any difference in all the specimens examined by me. 



Cassis semigranosa. Lamarck, vol 10, p. 37. A white or brownish shell, 

 granulated at the upper part. The granulations commence in the posterior 

 portion of the last whorl, and then extend over all the spire. Common, 

 and in S.A. 



Cassis ptrum. Lamarck, Vol. 10, p. 33. An ovate, ventricose, smooth 

 shell, pale brown pink, last whorl nodulous at the angle. About 50 long. 

 Common and in New Zealand and S.A. Mueller and Frauenfeld. 



Cassis nivea. Brazier, Zool. Proc, 1872, p. 6.6. I cannot regard this as 

 more than a white variety of C. pyrum. It is a variable shell in color, some- 

 times being banded and without nodules. W. 



Cassis paucirugis Menke., Mollusc., Nov. Hollandice, p. 23, sp. 107. N. 

 Coast only. 



ScALA australis. Lamarck, Vol. 9, p. 76. A turretted white shell, 

 with an acute spire, ribs very straight, resting on a keel at last whorl. Long. 

 25, lat. 9. A large quantity of brilliant blue pigment is yielded by the 

 animal. Common and S.A. 



ScALA (Cirsotrema) varicosa. Lamarck, Vol. 9, p. 3. Tamar Heads, 

 rare. W. F. Petterd. The specimen submitted to me was decollated, and 

 the apex closed with a hemispherical septum. 



ScALA GRANULOSA. Quoy, Voy. de VAstrol., Vol. 2, p. 75. The ribs in 

 this white shell are almost obsolete, and the shell more ovate. It is often 

 mistaken for a worn specimen of S. australis. Long. 28, lat. 13. B. Straits 

 only. 



ScALA ACULEATA. Soio. Zool. Proc, 1844, p. 12. A small, white, narrow 

 shell, with prominent distant varices following each other at the suture * 

 outer lip anteriorly emarginate and lobed. Long. 15, lat. 7, whorls 7*, 

 Eather tmcommon, B. Sts. only. Found also at Hong Kong, Macassar 

 Malacca, Amboyna, (Hinds) ; Philippines generally. Cuming. 



ScALA DELICATULA. Crossc, Joum. Conch., 1864. A Minute, translucent 

 shining, acuminate shell, but I cannot guarantee the identification. N. 

 and S.A. 



ScALA JUKESIANA. Forhes, Append. Voy. Rattlesnake, p. 383, fig. 7. A 

 small, white, polished shell, with very distinct varices. Long. 11, lat. 3 

 whorls 9. Rare. If this identification is correct, this species ranges from 

 tropical N.A. to Tasmania. 



ScALA LiNEOLATA. Sow. Zool. Proc, 1844,^. 11. A short, stout, dusky 

 shell, with pale brown bands. Long. 15, lat. 6, whorls 7. Rare. N. 



ScALA PHiLippiNARUM. Soiv. Zool. Proc, 1844, p. 12. The shell that is 

 thus named in Tasmania and JST.S.W. does not quite agree with Mr. Sowerby's 

 diagnosis. The varices are thin and reflexed. 



Crossea LABL4.TA. Tenison- Woods. 



Acus bicolor. Angas, Zool. Proc, 1867, p. 111. A delicate, smooth 

 shmmg, faintly coloured shell, the lower half of the first whori pale 

 chocolate and obsoletely grooved with lines of gi^owth. Long 17^ lat 5 

 whoris 10. o j; • , 



Terbbea (habtula) brazieri. Angas^ Zool. Proc, 1871, p. 16, pi 1,
