This species extends north to New South Wales. The single 

 haul of the dredge made by Mr. G. H. Halligan and self in 100 

 fathoms, 16 miles east of WoUongong, yielded a few examples. 

 Under the name of Syrnola micra, it has been catalogued by 

 Tate & May* from Tasmania. I prefer to regard it as a Leuco- 

 tina, for the punctured grooving is a feature foreign to either 

 Turhonilla or Syrnola.

Shortly before his death, I sent this species to the late Prof. 

 Tate, suggesting that it might be the unrecognised Cingulina 

 hrazieri. Prof. Tate penned a brief note, almost his last scien- 

 tific work, adopting my suggestion and proposing the new name 

 Terehra hedleyi for Cingulina hrazieri, j The untimely decease 

 of my friend, and the loss of a drawing I had prepared, compli- 

 cated matters. Since then Dr. Pilsbry has named a Japanese 

 shell Terehra hedleyiX Mr. E. A. Smith writes that C. hrazieri is 

 not the species before us, and I therefore formally propose the
