A series of specimens from Port Jackson, no. 28920 Mus. 

 Comp. Zool., does not show any marked difference from T. 

 novoseelandica, unless it be that the whorls are not quite so 

 convex. As Australasian conehologists, having abundant 

 material for comparison, have not united the two, we leave 

 both standing as species, although we doubt whether they are 

 separable. Two specimens, the larger measuring 3.8 x 1.6 

 mm., with 5% whorls, are drawn in pi. 53, figs. 12, 13. Fig- 

 ures 5, 6 of plate 38 are copied from Cox.
