marked below the angle than above, much narrower than their 
interspaces; the four spiral threads above the shoulder very 
fine, those below it very fine but slightly larger; those on 
the body-whorl finer than in Tasmanian specimens. <A bright 
reddish-brown spot between the coste at the angle.

One individual, dredged in 72 fathoms 60 miles west of 
Eucla, is rather a marked variant. It is 143 mm. long by 55 
mm. at its widest part. The protoconch of two rounded smooth 
whorls is less eccentric and pulloid than usual. The spire is 
unusually long, 62 mm., of six whorls, very sharply shouldered 
just above the middle and markedly contracted at the sutures, 
with about eleven pliciform tubercles with sharp transverse 
summits, corded with a spiral thread. A very thin horny 
epidermis. Colour, first three spire-whorls brownish, all the 
rest quite white; interior pure white. Another individual, 
taken in 100 fathoms 80 miles west of Eucla, was, as to pro- 
toconch, shape, and colouration, one of the common coronated 
forms. CAM

Four examples, taken 80 miles and 90 miles west of 
Hucla from 72 to 105 fathoms, all immature and dead and

This species was described by G. B. Sowerby, sen., in 
the Sale Catalogue of the Earl of Tankerville’s collection— 
the only specimen he had ever seen. It was a fine individual, 
and two excellent full-sized coloured figures are given of it. 
Its habitat was unknown. Broderip reproduced the descrip- 
tion of it about a year later in the Zool. Jour., attributing
