himself, and are synonyms of 2. Adelaidensis; but quite distinct 
from Zrophon Flindersi, of which Woods thought they might be 
varieties.

Syn.—Purpura humilis, Crosse and Fischer (Jour. de Conch., ~ 
XIII., 1865, p. 51, t. 2, fig. 2); the type from St. Vincent Gulf. 
Tryon regards these as young shells of the beaded form .of 
R. undata, Chem. (Man. of Conch., vol. II., p. 189). This we 
are unable to determine. 
Dimensions.—Crosse gives the dimensions as 12 mm. by 6mm., 
but it often attains the magnitude of 18 mm. by 10 mm. Its 
station is quite different from that of 2. Adelaidensis, which is a 
littoral shell; for it is dredged alive at 13 fathoms, 1; at 18 
fathoms, 3; while larger specimens have been taken dead at 15 
and 20 fathoms.

Tryon, in Man. of Conch., vol. IT., p. 156, gives it as a variety 
of Urosalpina tritoniformis, Blainville, which he says is identical 
| with Adamsia typica of H. and A. Adams, and that Purpura 
| neglecta of Adams and Angas is synonymous with A. Adelaide. 
} Specimens of the first from N.W. Tasmania (W. 7. Bednall) are, 
however, easily separable by their more elate form and much 
| more numerous spiral lire and scarcely visible incremental strive. 
P. neglecta from Port Jackson (W. 7. Bednall) is also distin- 
guishable as a smaller shell, more elate, and angulate and tuber- 
culo-plicate, and has a closer affinity with Ricinula reticulata,
