One living specimen was dredged in 101 fathoms 80 miles 
west of Eucla. The operculum is shown in pl. xvi., fig. 7, 
and the radula in pl. xvi., fig. 6. The shell is 50 mm. long 
by 24 mm. at its widest part, including the varix, with a 
shortly conical protoconch of five whorls. The first three are 
very depressed, scarcely rounded; the last two are convex, and 
rather rapidly increasing. The first four have two erect, 
sharp, hair-like spiral threads, at about equal distances from 
the sutures and each other, and numerous though not closely 
crowded, oblique similar axial threads. These gradually 
vanish towards the beginning of the last whorl; this ends 
abruptly where the ordinary sculpture of the spire-whorls 
begins. This consists of a row of large tubercles on the median 
angle, three rows of tiny tubercles above these and one below. 
On the body-whorl the last become successively larger, and 
another row succeeds them further forward, and several rows 
of large granules are intercalated. The tubercles are deeper 
yellowish-brown than the ground-colour, and there are stray 
axial flames of darker brown and articulated spirals of 
broken lines or tiny spots of brown. The reflected lip just 
beyond the varix is very daintily spotted on its inner margin 
with dark-brown, which clouds also the upper part of the inner 
lip between its white plice. The lower half of the columella 
is white, bordered above by the yellow of the back of the pre-
