Description. — Shell fusiform ; protoconch consists of two smooth convex 
whorls devoid of ornament, tip slightly oblique, immersed. Body whorl 
ventricose, tapering to acute spire of six convex whorls which bear spiral 
lirae ; lirae on anterior portion of whorls bold, acute, undulating, interspaces 
being wider than lirae ; posterior half of whorls sulcate, finely lirate ; penulti- 
mate whorl bears five principal lirae on its anterior face ; suture well defined, 
margined anteriorly with tw'o close-set lirae. Body whorl sulcate, finely 
lirate anterior to suture ; four or five bold lirae on periphery ; anterior to this 
they become fainter as they approach canal, interspaces carrying a fine thread. 
Transverse growth-lines not very conspicuous. Aperture ovate ; outer lip 
thin, fragile, no available example being perfect ; sinus broad (deduced from 
growth-lines) ; canal long, straight, narrow.

Genus GEMMULA Weinkauff 1876. 
Gemmula gellibrandensis, sp. nov. 
Plate XIX, figs. 3, 3a. 
Holotype, Reg. No. 13688 ; paratype, Reg. No. 13689 ; both from near 
Princetown. 
Description . — Shell narrowly fusiform, with long scalar spire. Protoconch 
consists of two convex whorls ; initial portion slightly inflated, oblique ; 
anterior whorl costate. Spiral whorls nine, squarely shouldered, the keel 
consisting of two raised, close-set coarsely granulose lirae ; in front of keel 
whorls are flattened, the spiral lirae being bold and rounded, four on penultimate 
whorl with a thread-like lira in interspaces ; posterior area slightly sulcate, 
carries two or three fine lirae ; suture is channelled, marginate. Body whorl 
not inflated ; ornament similar to that on spire. Whole shell traversed by 
numerous close-set oblique growth-lines, most marked in interspaces. Aperture 
narrowly ovate ; outer lip lirate within ; sinus wide, deep ; columella smooth, 
nearly straight, its margin very distinct ; canal relatively short, a little incom- 
plete, slightly twisted.
