at the base. Inner lip a glaze on the body-whorl. Colum- 
ella very long, straight. Basal lip straight, joining the col- 
umella at a right angle, and the uniformly-curved outer lip 
at a rounded obtuse angle.

segmentatus, n. sp. Pl. xxiv., fig. 3. SKS 
Shell fusiform of 7 whorls, including a protoconch of 
2 smooth convex whorls, with a deep suture. Spire-whorls 
boldly angled above the middle, and constricted towards the 
simple suture. Base gradually contracted to a moder- 
ately long snout. Aperture roundly oval, opening abruptly 
in front into a canal of equal length, slightly deviated to the 
left, and not recurved. Outer lip thin and corrugated ; 
inner lip a complete, prominent, erect lamella. Sculpture 
elaborate: axial lamin, twelve in the penultimate, rather 
solid, imbricating, coronating the angle with rather long, open 
tubiform scales, curving up and back, and frilled with re- 
curved valid scales distributed in spiral rows as though along 
spiral lire, two in each spire-whorl and ten in the body- 
whorl, extending over the base, and over the back of the 
canal. Colour white, with a narrow brown band immediately 
above the suture, and from behind the aperture round the 
base to the front part of the labrum. 
Dim.—ULength, 85 mm.; of the body-whorl, 4°6 mm.; 
width, 3°5 mm., excluding the long scales. 
Locality.—Type in 90 fathoms off Cape Jaffa, with 27 
others good; in 130 fathoms, 11 good; in 110 fathoms off 
Beachport, 11 good; in 150 fathoms, 4 good; in 200 fathoms,

Shell thin, long, narrow, fusiform, of 8 whorls, includ- 
ing a protoconch of 2 smooth, convex, prominent whorls. 
Spire-whorls convex, swollen, and angled above the middle, 
contracted towards the distinct simple suture. Body-whorl 
convexly contracted below the angle, then concavely produced 
into a long, narrow snout. Aperture oval, wider behind; 
canal long, narrow, slightly oblique to the left, not recurved, 
making a faint round angle with the base of the columella. 
Inner lip a thin applied glaze. Axial lamelle, fifteen in the 
penultimate, from suture to suture, erect and imbricating, 
projecting at the angle in long, open tube-like upward-cury-
