has its axials and spirals not so broad and close-set. It may 
be only a variant, in which case its specific name will indi- 
cate its difference from the typical form.

Shell solid, ovately fusiform, of seven whorls. Proto- 
conch of two and a half whorls, smooth, convex, ending 
abruptly, apex exsert. Whorls conyex, the first round, the 
others sharply angulate above the centre. Body-whorl 
roundly angled at the periphery, very contracted at the base. 
Aperture obliquely axially oval. Canal moderate, oblique: 
to the left, slightly concave to the right, recurved, open. 
Outer lip thin, simple; inner lip only a glaze. Columella 
nearly straight, scarcely angled at junction with the canal. 
Sculpture bold; axial costw, ten in the penultimate, high, 
compressed, rounded, narrower than the interspaces, ex- 
tending from the suture to the varix of the canal. Spirals. 
three, the largest on the shoulder, the smallest between it 
and the upper suture, crossing the cost; nine in the body- 
whorl. Colour horn-tinted, with a white spiral line at the: 
angle, and a broad, brown band below the periphery, dot- 
ting the spire whorls in the spaces above the suture and fad- 
ing out anteriorly. The most anterior spiral on the varix 
of the canal articulated brown, the one aboye it wholly white. 
Dim.—Length, 72 mm.; of body-whorl, 4°7 mm. ;. 
width, 3°9 mm. 
Locality.—Type in 40 fathoms off Beachport, with two. 
other fresh specimens, all dead. 
Obs.—One example is not quite so wide as the type. 
Its affinity is with 7. columnarius; Hedley and May, but: is: 
shorter and wider (whence its name) and has not its axial 
foliations.

This variety is of the same shape and size as individuals. 
with typical colouration. It is covered with a fine network 
of a light yellowish-brown tint, formed by close-set axial 
lines of small transverse arrowhead and reticulate markings, 
not unlike those of Voluta exoptanda, Sowerby. At the: 
suture in the body-whorl these lines end as small blotches 
of deeper colour, producing a flamed articulation; and im
