axials, strongest above where they coronate the shoulder, and weak over the base. Spire 1 ½ times height of aperture. Aperture narrow, sides subparallel, outer lip thin. Columella with two weak plaits.

Height, 3 mm.; diameter, 1·8 mm. (holotype).

Holotype in writer's collection, Auckland Museum.

Locality: Off North Cape in about 60 fathoms.

The unique holotype is not adult, but the characteristics of the species are clearly apparent nevertheless.

Zeadmete aupouria n.sp. Pl. 29, fig. 13.

Shell small, oval, turreted, with a narrow flat shoulder, weakly cancellated, pale buff. Protoconch large, smooth, dome-shaped, of 1 ½ whorls. Body-whorl sculptured with 20 low rounded linear spaced spiral cords, 7 on the penultimate and terminating at the smooth fasciole. There are 17 weak axial folds on the last whorl and they become obsolete over the base. Aperture narrowly ovate, outer lip thin. Columella with two weak plaits.

Height, 2·6 mm.; diameter, 1·65 mm. (holotype).

Holotype in writer's collection, Auckland Museum.

Locality: 140 fathoms off Three Kings Islands, New Zealand.

The two available specimens are not adult, but like the preceding represent a distinctive species readily recognisable.
