The typical khigii shows the attenuate form of this group, though the 
shell was only half groivn; a little later Quoy and Gaimard gave ('xcelleiit 
figures of the shell and animal from exactly the same place as King had 
collected them. Their shell was fully grown, and less boldly mai'ked, and 
both names have sometimes been used but the hitler name is absolutely 
synonymous. Knl'ortunalcly the general locality. King George’s Sound, was 
used for sludls from the surrounding ariua where more than one race may 
occur. Hence Pilshry named a var. hurnilix of pJigxnides, which is based on a 
small local series of the present s])eeies, but the name can not bo used, as no 
definite locality is known, and the shells aiijiear immature. 
The shell is elongate, the s)iire acuminate, th(> apex elevated, the mouth 
elongate, shorter than the siiire, the columella reflected and appressed with 
a twist, obliterating the umbilicus, outer li|) thin. The shell is thin and deli- 
cate, and the coloring is a dirty while slrealu'd more oi' less thickly with pale 
brown, rarely of a reddish tinge. The streaks are commonly notable as in 
the typo of kingii, and are as commonly almost obsolete as in the type of 
trilineahix. Some are almost clear white', othei’s clear ymllowish, and in some 
cases the streaks coalesce, and an almost uniform brown body whoil i.s formed. 
The thinness and shape are however constant as is the lack of any defined 
sculpture, the rude flattened radials showing no cross sculpture. The apex ; 
consists of two whorls, the ti|) elevated, minutely punctate, the punctations j 
finally running into lines: the adult whorls follow without a varix, but the
