as St. Francis Island and LeHunte Bay. The beach speci- 
mens are usually larger, and more solid and more fully 
coloured than the dredged shells. It affects the shallower 
waters. 5 De sie es

Daphnella (2?) fallaciosa, Sowerby, Proc. Mal. Soc., London, 
1896, vol. ii., p. 26, pl. iii., fig. 7. Type locality—‘‘Gulf St. Vin- 
cent (V. erco). 2 
The author says:—‘‘It is with some uncertainty that I 
place this with Daphnella.” The type was immature, with 
the labrum thin; when adult this has quite a marked vari- 
cose thickening close to its border, though the individual 
may measure only 67 mm. instead of the typical 10 mm. 
The shells may be more solid and opaque than the type, 
though usually they are rather thin and diaphanous. In- 
stead of the typical feeble sinuous axial plice on the upper 
three spire whorls only, which become cbsolete on the fourth, 
these may be quite valid on four whorls, and to the border 
of the labrum, fading out on the base of the whorl. The 
protoconch, when the shell is alive or quite fresh, may be 
translucent white or brown, and large irregular rusty flames, 
blotches, and streaks may colour the shell. 
Dredged in 15-20 fathoms off St. Francis Island, 2 good; 
in Gulf St. Vincent, 13 quite fresh or alive; in 40 fathoms 
off Beachport, 5 good; in 45 fathoms off the Neptune Islands, 
3 good; in 55 fathoms off Cape Borda, 5 good; in 62 fathoms, 
5 good; in 90 fathoms off Cape Jaffa, 18 moderate; in 110
