Allied to T. spectabilis^ Hinds, gouldi, Desli., and edyarii, 

 Melv. It difFeis from tliese by the very delicate interstitial 

 transverse strioiations, the narrowed somewhat straight 

 iiperture, and want of ventricosity of whorl. T. edgorii 

 occurs in the same seas, and it is sometimes hard to differen- 

 tiate tliem. I am grateful to Mr. Edgar Smith for his opinion 

 as to their distinctness.

Hah. Mekran Coast, off Astola Island, 90 fathoms. 



A very choice though small species, and rarely occurring in 

 shell-sand. The examples are dead, and the coloration is 

 therefore a matter of guesswork ; it is very probably pale 

 ashy brown in Hie. The ribs, six in number on each of the 

 four lowest whorls, are continuous with each other, broadened, 

 the upper whorls being semivitreous, the third crenulate. 



The only ally we can find is M. calcattf[, Hedley, an 

 equally rare species, only occurring, so far as is known, at 

 Hope Island, Queensland. It differs in several ways, particu- 

 larly in the sinus, which is not *'an almost closed tube at top 

 of a bold varix,'' as in M. cahata, but broad, short, and 

 shallow, and not extending far towards the margin of the 

 outer lip.
