This is slightly larger, 455 mm. long and [7 mm. broad, 
and more solid, with the same number of spirals, but these 
are much stouter, the infrasutural cord being specially round 
and conspicuous. 
Dredged in 55 fathoms off Cape Borda, 1 very good.

Mitromorpha pallidula, Hedley, Proc. Linn. Soc., New South 
Wales, 1905, vol. xxx., part 4, p. 534, pl. xxxii., fig. 26, ‘“Manly 
Beach, near Sydney,” also ‘‘24 fathoms off Derwent River, Tas- 
manig’’; Gatliff, Proc. Roy. Soc., Victoria, 1907, vol. xx. (N.S.), 
part 1., p. 32, ‘Port Albert.” 
Dredged in 35 fathoms off St. Francis Island, 1 alive: 
in 62 fathoms off Cape Borda, 1 moderate; in 90 fathoms off 
Cape Jaffa, 2 poor; in 130 fathoms off Cape Jaffa, 8 good;

Natisa_sticta, n.sp. Pl. xxix, figs. 4, 5, and 6. A G3 
Shell solid, ovately-globose, of 35 whorls. Spire scarcely 
raised, whorls flatly convex. Suture distinct, linear. Aper- 
ture semi-circular ; outer lip thin, simple. Inner lip distinct, 
raised into a callous pad, which, with that of the straight 
columella, almost completely fills the large umbilicus. In 
young shells the umbilicus is wide, open to the apex, and 
with a spiral funicle winding up to the middle of the colum- 
ella. Surface shining and smooth, but for sublenticular ac- 
cremental scratch-lines, most marked at the border of the 
umbilicus. There are three spiral rows of brown marks, axi- 
ally elongate, and somewhat zigzag. 
Dim.—Length, 85 mm.; breadth, 7 mm.; height, 5°25 
mm. 
Locality.—Type from 130 fathoms Cape Jaffa, with 
many others quite fresh. Dredged also in 16 fathoms out- 
side Backstairs Passage, 3 good; in 17 fathoms Gulf St. Vin- 
cent, 5; in 40 fathoms off Beachport, 26 good; in 45 fathoms 
east of North Neptunes, 4; in 55 fathoms off Cape Borda, 
15 dead, also in 62 fathoms, 29 minute; in 110 fathoms off 
Beachport, 60; and in 150 fathoms, 1 fresh. 
As no individual was taken alive to provide an oper- 
culum, the genus is not certain; but I think it will prove to 
be a Natica with a shelly operculum. Some shells have an 
additional ornament in a dull-brown infrasutural continuous 
band.
