The aperture is broader and pillar fold less definite than in T~ 

 fusiformis (6r/dL).

Shell ovately cylindrical, white, shining, very finely striated by 

 the lines of growth, and exhibiting only faint traces of spiral stria- 

 tion ; whorls 4J, the two apical ones forming a small tubercle, the 

 rest somewhat elevated, turreted, and separated by a deeply but not 

 broadly channeled suture ; aperture narrow above, gradually dilat- 

 ing and curved at the base ; the outer lip not extending to the top 

 of the whorl and slightly contracted in the middle ; the columella 

 furnished with a stout callus plication, which is connected above 

 with the labrum by a thin callous deposit on the whorl. 



Length 3 lines, breadth 1? lines. (Aug.}. 



Dredged outside Port Jackson Heads in 10 fathoms water (Bren- 

 chley).

Shell oval, rounded bluntly in front and sharply above where the 

 papillary apex projects, smooth, angulated above round the outside 

 of the channelled suture, with a strongly toothed twisted oblique 

 pillar, and a smallish mouth, which is shorter than the shell. Sculpt- 

 ure: Longitudinals there are faint rounded furrows on the lines of 

 growth. Spirals on the upper part of all the whorls there seem to 

 be close-set very faint spirals ; about the middle of the whorl they 

 become stronger, like very fine remote furrows; a bluntly angulated 

 keel projects axially below the suture. Colour translucent white. 

 Mouth a good deal shorter than the shell, conically elavate, slightly 

 curved, a little blunt at the top. Whorls 4 to 4, angulated above ; 

 each rises distinctly above the one which follows. Outer lip almost 

 appresed above, but separated by the deep sutural channel which 

 runs into the top of the mouth ; in front it is very patulous, and 

 obliquely truncate backwards, in the middle it is slightly contracted. 

 Top: the whole upper part of the shell contracts and the spire is 

 roundly conical and subscalar, with the glossy round papillary apex 

 rising slightly above all ; it is scored with the sutural canal, which 

 is narrow and not deep, but well defined by the sharp keel which lies 

 below it. Inner lip ; there is a thick prominent labial pad ; the
