mouth not formed. Last whorl much compressed at the base, 
with a rather long contracted snout. Aperture narrowly 
oval, canal short, feebly sinistral. Columella slightly con- 
vex, and originating about fifteen oblique spiral lire to curve 
over the back’ of the snout. Almost smooth; sublenticular 
accremental, and spiral striz. 
Glistening. First four whorls faintly pink, diminishing 
from the apex; ground colour a bluish-gray; ornamented 
with bronze- or amber-coloured axial bands, slightly narrower 
than their interspaces, about twelve to a whorl, from suture 
to suture, splitting into three or four threads forming a spiral 
band of hair lines below periphery, and then continued as 
fewer and rather wider flames over the base. 
Dim.—ULength, 10°4 mm.; breadth, 3°7 mm. 
Locality.—Type in 40 fathoms off Beachport, with 5 
others quite fresh, all immature. 
In some the bands below the periphery, instead of form- 
ing the spiral of ‘hair lines, will coalesce, two to form one 
basal flame. 
Its affinity seems :toibe with P. menkeana, Reeve, but 
its whorls are more cotivex, and it has not a similar body- 
whorl; but then it is immature. 
Type in my collection.

fathoms off the coast of New South Wales. 
Taken all along the South Australian shore. Dredged 
alive in 5 fathoms off Edithburgh, many; in 7 fathoms, 1; 
in Backstairs Passage 17 fathoms, 3; in 24 fathoms off New- 
land Head, 1: dead, many at all depths to 22 fathoms; 
in 55 fathoms off Cape Borda, 1. This seems to be a shallow- 
water shell. 
Its ornament varies greatly. One variety is quite white, 
with a narrow black spiral line just above the suture and 
circling the body-whorl.
