May prove the same as the following. 



E. TASMANICUS Tenison-Woods. Unfigured. 



Shell small, depressedly turbinate, fleshy white, spotted with red 

 points which are sometimes disposed in oblique lines; whorls 4, 

 slopingly rounded, thickly gemmed with granulous lirse, the inter- 

 stices plaited lengthwise, with a channelled impression at the sutures ; 

 aperture obliquely ovate, subcircular, outer lip lirate within, inner 

 lip bisulcate and obliquely sulcate behind the columella. This some- 

 what gibbous Euchelus appears to have traces of nacreous iridescence 

 internally. It is very distinct in size (being the smallest of our 

 species) from E. baccatus Mke., though somewhat near shape and 

 color. Rather scarce. Diam. maj. 6, min. 5 mill. (Tenison-Woods.') 

 Long Bay, Brunt J.^land, and S. Coast, Tasmania.

Known to me only by the above description. 



E. FOVEOLATUS A. Adams. 



Shell small, globose-conic, solid, white, very minutely perforated ; 

 spire short ; whorls about 4, convex, encircled by strong spiral ribs > 

 the interstices between them deeply, coarsely pitted by the prominence 

 of strong, regular, longitudinal lamellae, continuous over the spirals. 

 The penultimate and next earlier whorls have 3 spirals (the sub- 

 sutural one sometimes subobsolete), the outer lip inserted upon the 

 fourth ; on the last whorl near the aperture there are 7, but some- 

 times more, by reason of the interpolation of one or two interstitial 

 riblets on the upper surface ; two or three submedian ribs are gen- 

 erally more prominent. Sutures canaliculate. Aperture rounded,
