as St. Francis Island and LeHnnte Bay. The beach speci- 

 mens are usually larger, and more solid and more frxlly 

 coloured than the dredged shells. It affects the shallower 

 waters.

Dredged alive in 5 fathoms Gulf St. Vincent, 1 ; in 

 15 to 20 fathoms off St. Francis Island, 2; in 20 fathoms 

 outside Backstairs Passage, 2 ; dead at various depths up to 

 22 fathoms in Gulf St. Vincent and Spencer Gulf ; in 55 

 fathoms off Cape Borda, 1 very poor. Taken on the beach 

 as tar west as Sceales Bay. It appears not to live beyond 

 about 25 fathoms. 



Mangilia fallaciosa, Sowerby. 



Daphnella (?) fallaciosa, Sowerby, Proc Mai. Soc, Loudon, 

 1896, vol. ii., p. 26, pi. iii., fig. 7. Type locality— "GuU St. Vin- 

 cent (Verco)." 



The author says: — "It is with some uncertainty that I 

 place this with Daphnella." The type was immature, with 

 the labrum thin ; when adult this has quite a marked vari- 

 cose thickening close to its border, though the individual 

 may measure only 6'7 mm. instead of the typical 10 mm. 

 The shells may be more solid and opaque than the type, 

 though usually they are rather thin and diaphanous. In- 

 stead of the typical feeble sinuous axial plicae on the upper 

 three spire whorls only, which become obsolete on the fourth, 

 these may be quite valid on four whorls, and to the border 

 of the labrum, fading out on the base of the whorl. The 

 protoconch, when the shell is alive or quite fresh, may be 

 translucent white or brown, and large irregular rusty flames, 

 blotches, and streaks may colour the shell. 



Dredged in 15-20 fathoms off St. Francis Island, 2 good; 

 in Gulf St. Vincent, 13 quite fresh or alive ; in 40 fathoms 

 off Beachport, 5 good ; in 45 fathoms off the Neptune Islands, 

 3 good ; in 55 fathoms off Cape Borda, 5 good ; in 62 fathoms, 

 5 good; in 90 fathoms off Cape Jaffa, 18 moderate; in 110
