FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SEAs. By GeorGe FrencuH ANGAs, 
Corr. Mens. Z. 8, 
(Plate IT.) 
1. Votura (ALCITHO#) KREUSLERA, nob. (PI. II. fig. 3.) 
V. testa elongato-fusiformi, subangustata, pallide fulvo-lutea ; sptra 
turrita, apice papillari ; anfractibus 6, levibus, in medio angulatis 
et plicato-nodosis, ad suturas castaneo maculatis, ultimo fere % 
longo, testam adequante, maculis aurantiaco-fuscis, trigonato ; 
labro simplici ; columella subrecta, 4-plicata, et callo tenui induta. 
Long. 2 poll. 9 lin., lat. 1 poll. 
Hab. South Australia (Coll. Archer). 
This species is an interesting addition to the Australian Volutes. 
In its general characters it somewhat resembles V. pacifica, Soland. 
(belonging to H.& A. Adams’s section Aleithoé), from which it differs 
in the greater length of the spire, in the narrowness of its form, and 
in having a different style of painting. 
The specimen in Mr. Archer’s collection was picked up on the 
beach at Glenelg, near Adelaide. I have named it after Mrs. Kreus- 
ler, a German lady resident in South Australia, who, by her diligent 
researches in the natural history of that province, has added to our 
knowledge of its fauna. 
2. VoxuTa (LyrtA) arcHERI, nob. (PI. II. figs. 4 & 5.) 
V. testa ovata, solida, basi subrecurva, longitudinaliter valde lirato- 
costata ; costis obtusis, vir fleruosis, ad marginem parvis, gradatim 
evanidis, interstitiis levibus; pallide carneo-fusca, interstitiis 
Fuscis, costis lineis tenuibus castaneis ornatis ; spira subacumi- 
nata; anfractibus 6, convexiusculis, superne fusco irregulariter 
maculatis ; apertura oblonga, subangustata, vix % longa, testam 
@quante, intus pallido-carnea; labro incrassato, valde varicoso, 
interne dentato, margine subtenui, punctis nigris ornato ; columella 
basi triplicata, plicis numerosis supra exsculpta. 
Long. 1 poll. 4 lin., lat. 8 lin. 
Hab. Montserrat, West Indies (Coll. Archer). 
This beautiful West-Indian species belongs to Gray’s genus Lyria, 
and is allied to V. delessertiana, Petit, from Madagascar, and /. 
mitreformis, Lam., from South Australia. The description is taken 
from an adult specimen, in very fine condition, in the collection of 
Mr. Archer, of Liverpool. 
3. Mirra rosetT#, nob. (PI. II. fig. 6.) 
M. ¢. satis turrita, leviore, aurantiaco-fusca, marginibus spire viz 
excurvatis ; anfr.nucl.?... (decollatis) ; norm. 5, planatis, suturis 
haud impressis; lineis punctulorum minimorum spiralibus, plus 
minusve distantibus, quarum circ. 6 in spira monstrantur, sepe 
obsoletis, insculpta; circa basim prolongatam sulculis altioribus
