The color varies from chestnut-brown to a pale, almost 

 11 corneous" tint. It is usually transparent enough to see the 

 axis or the dried animal faintly through, though some are 

 nearly opaque. In its upper third the outer lip is more 

 curved and decidedly narrower; below that it is more widely 

 reflected, with a well-developed callous rib within. The 

 specimens from Mapoon, on the Gulf of Carpenteria, and 

 from Forrest River, West Australia, have the lip narrower 

 than those seen from the east coast. If this proves constant 

 they might be separated as a race lepidula. 



P. beltiana Tate is more elongate than P. pacified, but in 

 some specimens the difference is not great. 



The angular lamella forms a shortly entering tubercle, and 

 is always present in adult shells, so far as seen. 



In most of the lots examined the shape varies from regu-
