MOLLUSCA.—HEDLEY. 49 
One specimen, December 14th, 1913, from 45-50 fathoms, in Commonwealth Bay. 
This appears to be a broader shell than the related Rissoa subantarctica Thiele, 
from Kerguelen. It is named in honour of Capt. Charles Wilkes, who made a daring 
reconnaissance in these waters in 1840.

One dredged, December 14th, 1913, in 45-50 fathoms, in Commonwealth Bay. 
Our example is more mature than the single specimen taken by the “Gauss” 
Expedition, having 11 whorls in a length of 10mm. The radial sculpture gradually 
vanishes on the latter whorls which have three sharp peripheral cords and a rather 
flat base. Their glossy surface is engraved with dense microscopic spiral strie.

shell traces a marginal band above the suture. Aperture pyriform, very oblique, outer 
lip thin, curving forward in front of the insertion, rounded below, columella straight.
