Mr. Hedley, to whom this species was submitted, writes: 
—‘“Mr. May and I took this in 100 fathoms off Cape Pillar. 
I catalogued it (Records Austr. Mus., vol. vil., No. 2, 1908, 
p- 112) as Drillia haswelli, Hedley, but on reconsideration I 
should regard it as new.” It is narrower than D. haswelli, 
its whorls are not angulated, the body-whorl is not so pyri- 
form, and the spirals are much more valid.

This shell is more solid and opaque, is 5°5 mm. long, 
its body-whorl is 3 mm., its breadth is 21 mm.; it has 15 
spiral lire in the penultimate and 50 in the body-whorl, 
crossed by crowded accremental striz. 
Two perfect individuals were taken in 49 fathoms off 
Beachport.

It is just like /acteola in size, shape, and sculpture, but 
that the aperture is not pinched anteriorly to form a canal, 
and there is no anterior sinus in the outer lip here. One 
perfect example was taken in 100 fathoms off Beachport.

This shell varies much in shape and sculpture. There 
may be three sharp spirals on each of the four spire-whorls 
in a shell 8 mm. long, or two on the first and second spire- 
whorls, an intercalated third thread on the third whorl, and 
three on the fourth whorl. The shell may be shorter and 
more solid, with two very strong spirals on all the spire- 
whorls, and a weak intercalated thread on the fourth, with 
about twenty obsolete axial lire on the second and third 
whorls, much less marked on the fourth. It may be short 
and wide, with only two spirals in the spire-whorls, but in 
the first and second, or first, second, and third whorls oblique 
axial lire: almost as valid as the spirals may cross and tuber-" 
culate these, and fade out in the later whorls. It may be 
a long narrow shell, only 25 mm. broad, with four spirals 
in each whorl, and with 16 oblique axial lire like those in
