gi'ound give it a very elegant appearance. It is quite distin- 

 guished from every other Australian species by the close 

 raised lamellae which overlap and are curiously twisted at 

 the suture.

Shell small, narrowly pyramidal, polished, shining, white, 

 but with one chestnut band which occuj^ies about half of each 

 whorl; v/horls 11, conspicuously zoned with from 3 to 5 

 granular keels ; heels larger above and below, making a 

 kind of beaded margin to the whorls, the rest narrow and 

 varying in thickness, with obsolete granules ; suture marked 

 witii a raised line ; apex smooth, decollate, aperture sub- 

 quadrate, labrum thin, lip reflexed, canal produced and 

 everted, last whorl with the keels of very different shape and 

 spotted, the upper and lower ones thickened andnongranulary 

 leaving a broad central area which is ribbed. 



This shell differs from Triforis tasmanica nobis, in its color^ 

 shape, and curious granular keels. T. tasmanica is saturated 

 reddish brown v\dth three granular uniform keels.

 I find since I wrote the description of this shell that it is- 

 often found of a larger size than the dimensions originally 

 given, commonly about 4 to 5 mil. long. The coloring is- 

 also different. The last whorl is a rich golden reddish brown, 

 with a broad white band in the centre, in the middle of 

 Avhich there is a fine but very distinct brown line. In the 

 spire the whorls show but little of the color excejjt at the 

 sutures, but thi^e is in the whole of the shell a kind of semi- 

 transparency T\diich is like fire stone or opal. It has been 

 found at Circular Head by the Rev. H. D. Atkinson. 



MiTRA Teresi-t: nobis {loc. cit.). This shell has also been 

 found a.t Circular Head by the Rev. H. D. Atkinson. It 

 was double the size of the tyP*^ specimens described by me. 

 I believe that tliis shell will be found very close to an undes- 

 cribed Mitra which was erroneously identified with Sowerby's 

 intra vincta.
