DISTRIBUTION OF AUSTRALASIAN VOLUTES. 
and very finely closely striated throughout transversely with fine 
marked sculptural lines; apex granular, last whorl largo and ventri- 
cose, slightly rounded ; shouldered towards the apex, and moderately 
contracted at the hase; columella three-p’aitcd, thin, close set, 
prominent and short, aperture ascending as high as the shoulder of 
the last whorl, narrow above, much under below, owing to the 
receding columella; outer lip scarcely thickened; indistinctly 
banded about the centre with dark chestnut and fulvous bands, 
dark chestnut, ornamented with irregular buff coloured markings. 
Length, 1.10th, width, 0.55 of an inch. Habitat Wooli Wooli, 
Clarence River, East Coast of New South Wales. 
Hitherto only a single representative of this genus was known 
the Volula bullatu, Swain; so that this species will add considerably 
to the interest of the geographical distribution of our Australian 
volutes. 
49 —.VOLUTA HARGRAVE SI —Angas, 
Mr. Gr. F. Angas has recently described a new volute under the 
above name; but I am not aware of its habitat or to which section 
of the Volufcidse it belongs.
