Since the type was obtained by the ‘“ Astrolabe,” it probably came 
from King George Sound. The Adelaidean example differs from the type 
by smaller size and tawny colour. 
A relation of this species is Drillia cemula Angas, really a native of 
Stewart Island, New Zealand, but erroneously ascribed by its author to 
N.S. Wales.#

(Plate xlv., fig. 44.) 
Shell thin, lanceolate, subturreted, spire produced, base constricted. 
Colour uniform yellowish-gray. Whorls exceeding ten. Sculpture :—The 
fasciole is only indicated by the even truncation of the ribs; surface smooth, 
so that a few microscopic growth scratches are only just perceptible; the 
ribs are prominent, short, oblique, wave-shaped, spaced about twelve to a 
whorl; just behind the aperture the ribbing becomes irregular, the place 
of a final rib being taken by three small riblets which coalesce above. 
Aperture pyriform; sinus U-shaped, rather deep. Length 27 mm., 
breadth 8:5 mm. 
This species is represented by a single specimen with an imperfect 
apex. 
Hab. Victoria:—150 to 200 fathoms, off Gabo Island (‘‘Endeavour’’).

(Plate xlv., fig. 45). 
Shell large, solid, elongate-conic, regularly tapering. Colour cinnamon- 
brown. Whorls ten. Suture linear. Sculpture :—Below the suture runs 
an elevated spiral cord ; in the intervals between the ribs and on the base 
are fine spiral threads; the fasciole area is excavate, ornamented with fine 
spiral threads crossed by concentric strie; the ribs are fourteen to a whorl, 
oblique, round-backed, commencing below the fasciole and vanishing on 
the base. Aperture pyriform; insertion of lip ascending above the plane 
of the suture, and supported by a prominent callus knob; inner lip a smear 
of callus; sinus rather wide and shallow; canal short and open. Length
