Puate III. 
Species 3. (Fig. a, J, c, Mus. Cuming.) 
PHASIANELLA SANGUINEA. Phas. test@ conico-turbinaté, 
solidiusculd, sanguineo-rufa, minute undato-lineata, 
faseiis pallidis fusco-fulguratis et minute articulatis 
varie cingulatd, spird subobtusd, suturd impressi, an- 
fractibus quingue, turgidiusculis, rotundatis ; aper- 
turd circulari-ovatd, fauce alba, columella subcallosd. 
THE BLOOD-RED PHASIANELLA. Shell conically turbi- 
nated, rather solid, blood-red, minutely wave-lineated, 
variously encircled with pale bands, which are light- 
ning-marked and articulated with brown, spire rather 
obtuse, suture impressed, whorls five, rather swollen, 
rounded; aperture circular-ovate, interior white, 
columella rather callous. 
Hab. Swan River. 
A very characteristic species of solid growth, composed 
of only five whorls, which are rounded, and rather con- 
stricted at the sutures. The painted is a deep bright 
blood-red, encircled with pale bands, articulated trans- 
versely with rows of minute arrow-headed brown spots, 
while longitudimally they are crossed in an oblique di- 
rection by bold zigzag stripes of the same colour. 
Species 4. (Mus. Cuming.) 
PHASIANELLA ZEBRA. Phas. testa oblongo-conicd, solidius- 
culd, castaneo-rufo et flavido carneo-lineato oblique lon- 
gitudinaliter conspicue latifasciatd, anfractibus quingue 
superne subdeclivibus, deinde convexis; aperturd ovata, 
parviusculd, fauce alba, columella callosd. 
THE ZEBRA PHASIANELLA. Shell oblong-conical, rather 
solid, obliquely longitudinally conspicuously broadly 
banded with chestnut-red, and yellow lineated with 
flesh-colour; whorls five, rather sloping at the upper 
part, then convex; aperture ovate, rather small, in- 
terior white, columella callous.

Hab. Swan River, Australia. 
The bold longitudinally-banded colouring of this species 
appears to be a specific character. The pale-yellowish 
interspaces are crossed longitudinally, but in a contrary 
oblique direction, with close-set pencil lines of flesh-red, 
which stop short of the dark band sufficiently to give it a 
light edging. 
Species 5. (Fig. a, 6, Mus. Cuming.) 
PHASIANELLA VENOSA. Phas. testd ovato-turbinatd, solida, 
pallidé spadiceo-fuscescente, lineis undatis rufis plus 
minus dense longitudinaliter venata, anfractibus quin- 
que, superné subdeclivibus, deinde convexis, ultimo 
suboblongo ; apertura ovata, fauce alba. 
THE VEINED PHAsIANELLA. Shell ovately turbinated, 
solid, light fawn-brown, more or less densely longi- 
tudinally veined with waved red lines, whorls five, 
rather sloping at the upper part, then convex, last 
whorl rather oblong; aperture ovate, 
white.

A very different species from the well-known type of 
the genus. ‘The shell is more solid, and it is composed 
of fewer whorls, the last being obviously more oblong. 
The colour is equally peculiar.

of irregular longitudinally-waved red lines.

PHASIANELLA VENTRICOSA. Phas. testd ovato-conicd, 
solidiusculd, pallidé carned, fuscescente-rufo undique 
minute spiraliter articulatd, et infra suturas nebuloso- 
fasciatd, anfractibus quingue, superné subdeclivibus,

THE VENTRICOSE PHASIANELLA. Shell ovately conical, 
rather solid, pale flesh-colour, minutely spirally 
articulated throughout with brownish-red, and 
clouded in a banded manner beneath the sutures 
with the same colour, whorls five, rather sloping 
round the upper part, then convex ; aperture ovate, 
interior white, columella callous.

The clouded brown-red bands, which generally form 
festoons and broad streaks beneath the sutures in this 
species, are deeper-red towards the apex, and on the last 
whorls more obscure and lengthened.
