Desc. Shell elongated, somewhat cylindrical, but ventricose towards the middle, reddish yellow, which becomes paler in 

 full-grown specimens, covered with a" dark brown epidermis, which is entirely coated in adults with the enamel-like glaze. The 

 spire and apex are almost entirely obliterated in full-grown individuals, and the reflected upper border of the body-whorl exposes 

 a wide, somewhat excavated, snout-like area, from which the species obtains its name. The pillar has four plaits, the last being 

 comparatively small. The shell grows to a large size. The author possesses a shell of this species, to which numerous Coronulae 

 (Chelonobiae, Leach, J and C'repidulee are attached. The animal has buried the majority of these adhesions under the thickest coat 

 of enamel-like glaze hitherto observed on the shell of the species.

Desc. Shell subcylindrical, whiteish, covered with a thin ash-coloured epidermis, which is coated by a silvery enamel-like 

 pellicle, extending over about two-thirds of the shell. The apex is more visible than in Cymba proboscidalis, but the spire is 

 entirely concealed. The upper border of the body-whorl is less reflected than it is in that shell, and the area, though very open, 

 is less excavated. In fine specimens the aperture is of a rich brown colour. The plaits on the pillar are only two. The shell is 

 very inferior in size to that of Cymba proboscidalis. 



* The shells represented at fig. 6, d, f, are perhaps varieties of Cymba porcina in a young state, or they may be Cymba proboscidalis in 

 an intermediate stage of growth,

Hab. in. Oceano Australi ? 



Desc. Shell elongated, irregularly cylindrical, pale, (except on and near the pillar and in the aperture, where it is of a 

 rich rusty brown) covered with a delicate pale brown epidermis, which is entirely coated in old individuals with a brown 

 enamel-like glaze. The apex of the shell is almost obliterated, and the border of the spire and body-whorl, which is less 

 sharp than in the species already described, is produced somewhat beyond it, exposing a rounded excavated area, deeper, 

 but much more contracted than that of the shell of Cymba porcina. The pillar is three-plaited. 



f The shells represented at fig. 7, a, b are different individuals.
