As Mr. May writes : — "It is closely related to M . delica- 

 tula, Tenison-Woods, in shape, but the latter has more pro- 

 nounced ribs and spirals, especially on the body-whorl."

 and in Gulf St. Vincent, 6 good. Taken on the beach at 

 Aldinga (Mr. Kimber). 



Mr. May confirmed my identification. The shell may 

 be long and narrow to short and ventricose • the whole sur- 

 face may be yellowish-brown, or the anterior half of the 

 body- whorl may be light-brown, or there may be a white 

 band just above the shoulder of the body-whorl. Tate and 

 May give M. cusfis, Sowerby, as a synonym, but this is 

 allied rather to M . letourneuxiana, Crosse.
