A prettily marked and delicately sculptured shell, minutely 

 cancellated throughout. It somewhat resembles D. jlammea 

 (Hinds), but diifers considerably from that species in sculpture 

 (fine close-set longitudinal striae crossing the spiral ones). In 

 sculpture it closely resembles B. dilvta (Gould), which species is 

 very different from it in form. Another allied species is P. deli- 

 caia (Eeeve), from which it differs both in form and sculpture.

A beautiful little shell, of which I have only seen a single 

 specimen. It is finely spirally striated throughout, the upper 

 whorls being longitudinally plicated. The colouring consists of 

 conspicuous rounded brown blotches, which upon the body-whorl 

 are disposed in t\^o rows, one above and one below the middle 

 of the whorl.
