Phasianella bulimoides, Lam.  Hist. 7 52. 
Buccinum Australe, Gmel.  Syst.  Nat. 1 3490.

38.  Phasianella pulchra (n.s.)

Testa minuta oblique conica tenuis pellucida linea albida opaca et fasciis coccineis ornata, anfractibus valde convexis.

Shell minute, obliquely conical, thin, pellucid, variegated with spiral opaque white intercepted striae and several transverse scarlet bands formed of oblique lines; axis, imperforated, one-sixth, diameter one-eighth, of an inch.

This shell is somewhat like P. pullus, Turbo pullus of Montague, but the whorls are more convex, and it is rather differently marked.

39.  Scalaria australis, Lam.  Hist. 6 pt. 2. 228.  Icon. —­

40.  Scalaria tenuis (n.s.)

Testa conica umbillcata tenuis pellucida albida unifasciata, costis albis tenuibus ereberrimis parum elevatis laevibus, anfractibus contiguis.

Shell conical, thin, pellucid, whitish-brown, with a narrow central spiral brown band; whorls contiguous, convex, smooth, with numerous close oblique slightly raised, thin, simple-edged cross ribs; axis umbilicated; umbilicus narrow; mouth small, ovate, orbicular; axis three-eighths, diameter one-fourth of an inch.

This shell is most like Scalaria principalis, nob.  Turbo principalis of Pallas, Chemn. 11 t. 195, f. 1876, 1877.  The shell before me is most probably a young specimen.

41.  Delphinula laciniata, Lam.  Hist. 6 pt. 2. 230.  Turbo Delphinus, Gmel.  Syst.  Nat. 1 3599.  Icon.  Lister.  Conch. t. 608. f. 45.

This shell was found at low water upon the Coral Reefs, in the entrance of Prince Regent’s River, on the North-west Coast.

42.  Nerita atrata, Lam.  Hist. 6 pt. 2. 191.  Icon.  Chemn.  Conch. 5 t. 190. f. 1954, 1955.

43.  Nerita textilis, Gmelin.  Syst.  Nat. 3683.  Icon.  Chemn. 5 190, f. 1944, 1945.

44.  Natica mamilla, Lam.  Hist. 6 pt. 2. 197.  Nerita mamilla, Gmel.  Syst.  Nat. 3672.  Icon.  Lister Conch. t. 571. f. 22.  Enc.  Meth. plate 453. f. 5. a. b.

45.  Natica alba, n.  Icon.  Chemn. 5 t. 189. f. 1922. 1923.

46.  Natica conica, Lam.  Hist. 6 pt. 2. 198.  Icon.  Chemn. 5 t. 189. f. 1930. 1931.

47.  Littorina australis (n.s.)

Testa ovata, conica fulva rudis spiraliter striata sulcata, spira acuta, fauce livida.

Shell ovate, conical, fulvous-brown, rough, with numerous impressed spiral lines; the spire acute, the whorls rather convex, last slightly angular, the columella lip purplish-brown; axis solid, with a lunate concavity behind the usual situation of the umbilicus.
