be mostly under 25 fathoms.

Shell turreted-oval, of 7 whorls, including the blunt proto- 
conch of 2 smooth convex whorls, with a subimpressed suture, 
ending abruptly. Spire-whorls convex, angulated in the 
first and second below the middle, and at the middle in the 
fourth ; with a subsutural threadlet in the first which enlarges 
progressively to a stout round spiral; in the second another 
appears midway between the angulation and the lower suture ; 
and in the fourth another below this; in the fifth or body- 
whorl two fine spirals appear above the angulation, and there 
are thirteen below it, becoming fainter and lower anteriorly ; 
they are much narrower than the interspaces; the spiral just 
below the suture, and that at the angulation are the most 
valid, and are well nodulated, the nodules being somewhat 
pliciform, directed downwards and backwards on the for- 
mer, and downwards and forwards on the latter ; the next two 
spirals are nodulated, but less so, also downwards and for- 
wards. Axial lire, starting from the suture, are directed 
downwards and backwards to the nodules on the first spiral, 
are then concave forwards between these and the nodules on 
the angulation, and then run obliquely convexly forward to 
the nodules on the next two spirals; on these, by intercalated 
lire, the nodules are doubled in number, but are almost im- 
perceptible on the spirals beyond. Body-whorl is rhomboidal, 
concavely contracted at the base. Aperture squarely oval, 
opening into a short, wide canal. Labrum thin, angulated at 
the upper fourth, slightly crinkled by the spirals, pinched 
in front to form the canal; in profile it has a deep trigonal 
sinus between the suture and the angle, is then convex, and 
has a shallow excavation where the aperture is pinched. Inner 
lip is a narrow glazed depression ; columella straight. Colour 
white. 
Dim.—Length, 88 mm. ; of body-whorl, 5 mm. ; breadth, 
35 mm. 
Locality.—Type from 130 fathoms off Cape Jaffa with 
1 other; in 104 fathoms off Neptune Islands, 8 good, 25 im- 
mature or broken; in 110 fathoms off Beachport, 2 good; in 
300 fathoms off Cape Jaffa, 2 very poor.

Shell solid, elongate-fusiform, of 6} whorls, including the 
blunt protoconch, which merges into the spire insensibly. The 
first whorl and a half are smooth and rather flat; the next 
is scarcely convex, and has at first distant invalid axial angu-
