markings to perfection. The shell is fusiform, arcuate, 

 much attenuate at the base, spire elevated, thirteen- 

 whorled, of which three are apical, glassy, smooth, the 

 rest beautifully turned and cancellated below the sutures, 

 the last whorl is acutely angled at the periphery, pale 

 straw in colour, flecked and lined with white at the 

 periphery, which is also decorated with a row of reddish 

 spots. At the median band, and likewise at the base, there 

 are also white blotches, and the whole surface of the last 

 whorl is closely transversely sulculose, the sulci being 

 dotted. All are unfortunately more or less broken at the 

 edge of the outer lip.

A white, smooth Drillia, with nodulous angled whorls,

 from Lifu than any other species known to me.
