spirals, but rise into scales along the sutures. The spirals are sharp 
widely-spaced threads, of which there are twenty on the body whorl, 
évenly distributed between the fasciole and the end of the canal; five of 
these ascend the penultimate. Aperture simple; lip thin; sinus wide and 
shallow; canal produced. Length 6:5 mm., breadth 2°6 mm. 
The single specimen which Brazier identified as D. pluricarinta differs 
from authentic Philippine examples of that species by being shorter and 
broader, with more inflated whorls and more prominent spirals. Nearer 
related is D. cymatodes Hervier, than which D. cheverti is smaller, more 
slender, and with more prominent sculpture.

DAPHNELLA GRANATA sp. n0v. 
(Plate lii., fig. 162.) 
Shell rather small, solid, ovate, and sharply gradate. Colour uniform 
buff. Whorls seven, inclusive of the protoconch, contracted at the suture, 
angled at the shoulder, rounded at the periphery, and hollowed at the 
base. Sculpture :—Surface reticulated by elevated flat-topped spirals and 
radials; on the upper whorls these are of equal value, and enclose deep 
square meshes; the radials amount on the last whorl to twenty-five, and 
on the antepenultimate to about twenty; they gradually diminish in size 
anteriorly and vanish on the base; on the last whorl there are about 
seventeen spirals, not counting a few minute interstitial threads; on 
the penultimate there are three and on earlier whorls two spirals; the 
protoconch consists of two rounded whorls, superficially smooth, but on 
high magnification developing faint and minute oblique reticulation. 
Aperture imperfect in the only example seen. Length 65 mm., breadth 
3 mm. 
This species’ is related to D. aulacoessa Watson, but is more solid and 
proportionately broader, the revolving and transverse cords few, and the 
reticulation coarser. 
Hab. Queensland :—4 to 14 fathoms, Albany Passage (type, self).
