canal. 
Length, (?); breadth, :27 inch. 
Locality. Tutaekuri River, Hawke’s Bay. Collected by Mr. Winkle-

A fragment only, but so well marked as to deserve description. 
Struthiolaria obesa. 
Shell globoso-ovate, smooth or finely spirally striated. Whorls 5-6, 
convex, the suture covered. Body whorl inflated, very slightly flattened 
in the middle. Aperture broadly ovate; columella much bent, and with a 
large callus extending to the posterior end of the aperture ; outer lip thick, 
reflexed, slightly produced in the middle. 
Length, 1:75 inch; breadth, 1:4 inch.

Struthiolaria frazeri. 
Shell large, elongated, spirally grooved. Whorls 6-7, keeled and flat- 
tened laterally so that the spire is distinctly gradated. Usually a row of 
small tubercles on the keel, about 10 on a whorl. On both sides of the 
keel the whorls are deeply spirally grooved ; three or four grooves behind 
the keel, and four or five in front of it, on the spire whorls. Body 
whorl with about ten spiral grooves in front of the keel; the anterior part 
of the shell is spirally striated only. Aperture ovate; inner lip with a 
large continuous callus, the columella slightly bent ; outer lip reflexed, pro- 
duced in the middle. 
Length, 8:0 inch ; breadth, 1:8 inch. 
Locality. Kikowheru Creek, Hawke's Bay. 
This species has been thus named by Dr. Hector. 
Trochita alta. 
Shell sub-eireular, conical, high. Apex sub-central. 
Height, *65 inch ; diameter, 1:0 inch. 
Locality. Kikowheru Creek, Hawke's Bay. 
Distinguished from T. scutum by its great height; but intermediate 
forms occur. 
Eglisia striolata. 
Shell minute turreted. Whorls 8, rounded, the suture deeply impressed, 
delicately spirally striated; two of the striations usually more prominent 
than the rest; sometimes almost smooth. Aperture broadly ovate or sub- 
rotund, the columella bent. 
Length, +15 inch. 
Locality, White Rock River.
