Shell cylindrically fusiform. Protoconch blunt, of one 
whorl and a half, subconvex, smooth,-ending abruptly by a 
scar. Whorls four, subconvex. Sutures distinct, subcanali- 
culate, very narrowly marginate, ascending near the aper- 
ture. Body-whorl oval, somewhat compressed at the base. 
Aperture oval, narrowed posteriorly; canal wide, notched ; 
outer lip thin, simple, infrasuturally feebly excavate ; colum- 
ella curved, obtuse-angled at the sinistrally directed canal. 
Smooth, but for sublenticular minute axial and _ longi- 
tudinal crowded scratches. 
Dem.—Length, 5°9 mm.; of body-whorl, 3°4 mm.; 
breadth, 2°2 mm. 
Locality.—Type from 130 fathoms off Cape Jaffa, dead, 
with 2 others; 40 fathoms off Beachport, 1 good; 110 
fathoms, 4 poor; 55 fathoms off Cape Borda, 1 moderate ; 
62 fathoms, 2 poor; Gulf St. Vincent, depth unrecorded, 1 
alive, of a light-brown colour, protoconch darker. 
Its generic location is questionable, but must be deter- 
mined by future examination of the mollusc.

Shell solid, of six whorls, including a protoconch of two 
convex smooth whorls, ending abruptly. Spire-whorls con- 
vex, sutures impressed. Body-whorl, base roundly con- 
tracted; aperture narrowly oblong-oval, pinched anteriorly 
into a notched canal with slightly reflected margin. Outer 
lip with three denticles inside its posterior third, the largest 
behind, and a small round shallow infrasutural sinus; inner 
lip a thin glaze. Sculpture bold, two spirals in the first 
spire-whorl, three in subsequent whorls, twelve in the body- 
whorl; their intersection with the axials, of which there are 
sixteen to eighteen in the penultimate, are tuberculate, except 
in the anterior four spirals on the snout, which are crossed 
only by oblique striz. 
Dim.—Length, 4-4 mm.; breadth, 1°77 mm. 
Locality.—Type dredged in 55 fathoms north-west of 
Cape Borda, with 57 others, in good condition; in 6 fathoms
