Mitromorpha—alba—Petterd. Zu. axiscalpta, var. nov. 
It has the shape of 1/7. alba, Petterd, but has crowded 
‘axial incisions granulating the spirals. It has also three 
spiral rows of small, square brown spots on the body-whorl; 
one just below the suture, but not on the first spiral as in 
‘some of the typical J/. alba; a second starting just above the 
aperture and winding round to just above the middle of the 
labrum; a third beginning just above the two nodules on 
the labium and running over the back of the snout. The 
upper two rows appear in the spire-whorls. Sometimes the 
shell is flamed with very light-brown between the spots axi- 
ally.
