specimens are quite white, but others are of a deep bluish- 

 purple in the aperture and on the columella, and the colour 

 is faintly visible through the shell. The largest example is 

 26 mm. long, and 16 mm. in its greatest diameter. 



This species was kindly identified by Mr. Gatliff, from 

 Victorian specimens, compared with the British Museum 

 type by Mr. Gabriel, with Mr. E. A. Smith's help.

 — 100 fathoms, off Cape Pillar, Tasmania. 



Dredged in Gulf St. Vincent at depths below 25 fathoms, 

 one alive, six good, ten poor ; in Backstairs Passage, 22 

 fathoms, five alive, and in 12, 15, 17, and 20 fathoms, eight 

 dead; in 40 fathoms off Beachport, three good, three poor; 

 in 45 fathoms east of Neptune Islands, one good, immature; 

 in 55 fathoms north-west of Cape Borda, two good and four 

 immature; and in 90 fathoms off Cape Jaffa, one very poor. 

 This species seems, therefore, to live chiefly at about 20 

 fathoms, and beyond 60 fathoms to be found only in poor 

 condition.
