Jaffa, 2 poor; in 150 fathoms off Beachport, 1 poor. It is 
evidently alive in water up to 55 fathoms. 
The protoconch is prominent, consisting of three well- 
rounded’ whorls, of which the first two are smooth, the third 
gradually develops four spirals of tiny tubercles. It ends 
abruptly, and then the very bold axial costate sculpture of the 
spire-whorls begins. The protoconch may be wholly light- 
brown or only its third whorl.

Vanikoro denselaminata, Verco, Trans. Roy. Soc., South Aus- 
tralia, 1909, vol. xxxiii., p. 334, pl. xxix., figs. 1, 2, and 38. Mr. 
Gatliff has suggested that this is the juvenile state of V. vin- 
centiana, Angas, as may also be gathered from Tate and May’s 
note, and this is confirmed by my examination of a series of 
Angas’s species; so I place my name as a synonym and add the 
following observations: —Some examples show spirals in the 
whorl immediately following the protoconch, in others these are 
obsolete. In the later portions of the adult shell, the axials 
become obsolete, and crowded spirals may become quite valid. 
Taken on the beach at Reevesby Island, Spencer Gulf, 
and St. Francis Island. Dredged in Backstairs Passage and 
Gulf St. Vincent, depth unrecorded. Tt appears to be a com- 
paratively shallow water form, not having been taken by me 
at any greater depth than 22 fathoms.
