of the latter, and D. /egrandi can scarcely be accepted. As 
the type cannot be found, and the shell has not been figured, 
it is preferable to ignore CU. sculptilior and use the two names 
which are certain for the two species. Tate and May are fol- 
lowed by Hedley in Records Austr. Mus., vol. vi., part 4, 
p- 298, 1907, who calls the shell Daphnella sculptior [sic], 
‘Tenison- Woods. 
Tate and May also make Daphnella bitorquata, Sowerby, 
a synonym of this shell (Proc. Linn. Soc., New South Wales, 
1901, xxvi., p. 446), but it is really a variety of 
Daphnella tasmanica, Tenison-Woods.

This shell varies greatly—(1) In shape. The whorls may 
be quite round, or uniangulate or biangulate, depending on 
the strength of certain spirals. Some examples are much 
shorter and more ventricose than others; (2) in sculpture. 
The spirals may be nearly equal all over the shell, or unequal 
on the early whorls and equal on the body-whorl, or they 
may be alternately markedly large and small. The axials 
in some are as distant as the spirals, so as to make a square, 
open lattice, or very crowded, and this either on shells with 
equal and close or unequal and open spirals. In some the 
large spirals are nodulated, so that the shell, looked at from 
the apex, displays some ten or twelve angles, which may be 
opaque-white; (3) in colour. The shell may be uniformly
