poor, broken; in 300 fathoms, 5 fragments; and in 300 fath- 
oms off Beachport, 1 poor. Taken on the beach at St. Francis 
Island, 5 moderate. 
Obs.—This species flourishes in the medium depths, be- 
ing not littoral, up to 50 fathoms, and then gets rare and 
poor. One taken in Gulf St. Vincent is quite white, as is 
one from Cowes, Victoria.

Triphora regina, Hedley, Proc. Linn. Soc., New South Wales, 
1903 (1902), part 4, p. 608. pl. xxxii., fig. 21. Type locality— 
Balmoral Beach, Port Jackson. 
Hedley’s unique type was “mutilated at each extremity,” 
so I complete the description from a perfect specimen. "It 
has a brown, elongate five-whorled protoconch, whorls con- 
vex, faintly unicarinate in their anterior third and axially 
finely lirate. The aperture is circular, with a rather’ deep, 
narrow posterior sinus. The inner lip is erect and solid, meet- 
ing the edge of the basal lip, which does not cross it. Canal 
nearly closed, reflected, notched. It appears to be a good 
species. : 
Dredged in Gulf St. Vincent, (?) depth, 1 poor: in 35 
fathoms off St. Francis Island, 4 poor: in 40 fathoms off 
Beachport, 1 perfect, 3 good; in 45 fathoms east of North 
Neptunes, 1 poor; in 55 fathoms off Cape Borda, 2 moderate ; 
in 62 fathoms north-west of Cape Borda, 1 poor; in 90 
fathoms off Cape Jaffa, 1 perfect; in 110 fathoms off Beach- 
port, 1 good; in 130 fathoms off Cape Jaffa, 4 moderate: in 
150 fathoms off Beachport, 4 moderate. Taken on the beach 
at St. Francis Island, 6 moderate. This seems to be a deep- 
water form.

—Balmoral Beach, Port Jackson. 
Dredged Gulf St. Vincent, depth unrecorded, 1 perfect ; 
in 35 fathoms, St. FrancisIsland, 1 poor; in 40 fathoms off 
Beachport, 1 good; in 55 fathoms off Cape Borda, 1 very 
good; in 90 fathoms off Cape Jaffa, 2 good. Taken at St. 
rancis Island on the beach, 3 perfect, 2 good, 
7ay. Mamillata, var. nov. 33 3 
Instead of having the elongate four-whorled protoconch 
of the type, it has a mamillate two-whorled apex. The first 
whorl is round and smooth, the second has a central carina
