Hah. — Solomon Islands (Mrs. G. J. Waterhouse). 
This very pretty Cone came from the Solomon Islands, but the 
exact island is not known. It has been in Mrs. Waterhouse's 
collection for the last twelve months. The specimen is in a good 
state of preservation; the spiral sulcations visible a little below 
the crown are very fine, and those near the base are deeply 
engraved, showing minute punctures or pits like those on a 
thimble; the colour markings are also peculiar, being of a 
yellowish-brown with whitish longitudinal tlexuous streaks. 
The only specimen I have at present seen has been lent me for 
description by Mrs. G. J. Waterhouse, after whom I have the 
pleasure of naming the species. 
The type is now in the collection of Mrs. Agnes Kenyon, of 
Richmond, Victoria.
