Shell ovate, smooth, with remote transverse punctured striæ; whitish, cancellated by transverse and longitudinal fulvous lines; inner lip brown at the base; outer lip smooth.

Mitra tessellata. Swains. in Brand's Journal, No. 33. p. 34. (Ap. 1824.)

We have already given a full account of this very rare shell; a repetition of which is rendered unnecessary by the publication of the figures. The specimen from which these were taken, was then in the possession of Mrs. Mawe, whose kindness and liberality, in forwarding our scientific pursuits, has been, for very many years, constant and invariable. We know not its country, nor have we ever seen a second example.

Mr. Grey has recently given an additional interest to this group, by publishing an account of the structure of the animal.
