brown, or with square, distant brown blotches below the 
sutures, or more or less indistinctly mottled with brown, and 
with opaque white spots scattered about. 
Dredged in Gulf St. Vincent at depths up to 23 fathoms, 
14 alive or good; in 20 fathoms off Newland Head, 1 good; 
in 35 fathoms off St. Francis Island, 1 good. The South Aus- 
tralian shells favour the hitorquata variety rather than the 
typical ). tasmanica.

Mr. Hedley, Joc. cit., supposes it to be an immature 
Daphnella tasmanica, Tenison-Woods, but the shape of the 
labral sinus is quite distinctive. 
Dredged in Gulf St. Vincent up to 22 fathoms, several 
alive and dead; in 15 to 20 fathoms off St. Francis Island, 1 
dead ; in 90 fathoms off Cape Jaffa, 2 perfect ; in 104 fathoms 
35 miles south-west of the Neptunes, 42 good and broken: in 
110 fathoms off Beachport, 1: and in 130 fathoms off Cape 
Jaffa, 1 dead.

Shell of 6 whorls, including the protoconch of 2 whorls, 
with an exsert apex, closely spirally lirate. When viewed 
from the apex, the contour of the spire-whorls is not uni- 
formly curved, but polygonal, septangulate in the type. They 
have a central angulation, provided with a stout, rounded 
cord, and are constricted at the linear sutures. In the first 
and second spire-whorls a smaller secondary lira arises above 
the angle and another below; in the third whorl another ter- 
tiary and still smaller lira is intercalated above, and another 
in each interval below. In the body-whorl, below these, aris- 
ing at the suture is a stout cord forming a second angula- 
tion, below which the base is markedly concavely constricted, 
and has about ten lire, diminishing in size anteriorly. The 
aperture is obliquely oval, narrowed behind. Columella 
straightly convex. Outer lip thin, simple, crenulated, and 
toothed by the spirals; with a deep, narrow posterior sinus, 
bounded on one side by the sutural lira, and on the other 
by the nearest secondary lira; in profile the lip is convex. 
Very fine crowded axial striae, corresponding with the sinu- 
osity of the outer lip, cross the whole surface except the pri- 
mary spirals.
