In 1877 Brazier placed before the Linnean Society of New South Wales the continuation of his examination of the Mollusca collected during the "Chevert" Expedition, including among these results his description of a new species of Dentalium. This species was named by him Dentalium laeve, and his description, unaccompanied by a figure reads:
"Shell light amber colour, sometimes white, smooth, glossy, strongly arched, half-moon shaped, basal margin pinched in about two lines long, forming somewhat like a shoulder, then slightly ventricose, from that to the apex regularly tapering, apex with a minute perforation, entire. Length, 14 lines; diam. of base at shoulder, 1; below, 1/2 line."
