It differs from 7. subula in its unicarinate protoconch,. 
and in having the 4 ribs throughout. 
JERE Triphora spica, n. sp. . Pl. xxiii, fig. 1. 370 
Shell solid, long, narrow, upper third elongate-conical,. 
the rest nearly cylindrical. Protoconch of 5 whorls, con- 
vex, with two central closely approximate spiral threads and 
numerous axial bars. Spire-whorls 17, the first three with 
two nodulate spiral ribs, and an infra-sutural small, smooth 
cord. In the fourth whorl this becomes nodulate; and get- 
ting thicker equals the other spirals in the sixth whorl. Be- 
tween the twelfth and thirteenth whorls a supra-sutural thin_ 
threadlet appears and gradually enlarges and grows sub- 
nodular. The nodules in a spiral row on the penultimate 
are 17, transversely elliptical, and are joined spirally by a 
bar about one-third of their width, and vertically by obso- 
lete bars nearly their own width. The body-whorl has three 
spiral ribs, a subnodulated peripheral riblet, a  dis- 
tinct smooth, stout, basal spiral, and an obsolete one at. 
the base of the canal. The lip is broken. Colour, light- 
brown, with axial streaks of darker-brown from suture to 
suture: sometimes these happen to be continuous over two: 
or more whorls, sometimes not: the protoconch is of darker 
brown. 
Dim.—Length, 97 mm.; breadth, 1°55 mm.; length of 
protoconch, ‘D5 mm. 
Locality.—Type, 40 fathoms off Beachport, with 4 
others; 55 fathoms off Cape Borda, 10 good, many poor; 
62 fathoms off Cape Borda, 1 poor; Gulf St. Vincent, under 
25 fathoms, 7 poor, The habitat would appear to be in 40) 
to 50 fathoms. 
Diagnosis.—From 7. hkesteveni, Hedley, it differs in its: 
nodulated spirals and in its colour.
