pointed out, and of which relationship there is further evidence

 sands near Melbourne. It has already been recorded from 

 several localities in the Pacific, generally in the shore-sands of 

 coral islands, and Millet records it from the Malay Archipelago. 

 T., very common ; M.H., rare. 



Sub-family Miliolininae. 

 Genus Biloeulina, d'Orbigny.
