Dredged in 100 fathoms 90 miles west of Eucla, 4; in 
75 to 120 fathoms 120 miles west of Eucla, 1; in 95 fathoms 
90 miles west of Eucla, 3. All were well coronated, with 
moderately exserted spires and with more or less marked axial 
plice on the inflation of the body-whorl, a little below the 
coronation. The colour when fresh was a pink-flesh tint, 
with a blackish-purple on the varix of the canal, and about 
seven blotches of black-purple on the outside of the recurved 
labrum, fading away towards the dorsum as vanishing spiral 
flames. Some have two spiral bands of orange blotches on the 
body-whorl. 
One quite fresh shell was taken in 140 fathoms, 34 mm. 
22°5 mm., without angle or tubercles or plice, with a thick- 
ened reflected lip, with seven purplish-black spots on it, a 
micromorph of the variety,found to the east of Bass Straits.
