the same species is recorded by Menke"* as Fusils pallidas, 

 Broderip, from Western Australia. Since Broderip statedf that 

 his species came from the Falkland Islands, the identification of 

 Menke seems improbable. 



SCALARIA BALLINENSIS, Smith. 



Smith, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) vii., 1891, p. 139. 



(Platexxxiv., fig. 21.) 



Four specimens collected near Ballina, N.S. W., by Mr. J. 

 Brazier, furnished Mr. Smith with the means of describing this 

 species; the burden of illustrating it he left for others. A series, 

 the original lot from which Mr. Smith was supplied, has lately 

 reached me. Their examination convinces me that S. hallinensis 

 is a synonym of the common, widespread and variable Scala 

 granosa, Quoy & Gaimard. A smooth state appears to have been 

 studied by Smith. My figure is based on a well sculptured 

 Ballina shell, 15 mm. long. 



Turbo exquisitus, Angas.

jSTo mention has been made of the operculum of this species. 

 I find that externally it is white, microscopically granulated, with 

 a thick raised spiral rib of three revolutions. This feature 

 indicates a relationship between it, T. gruneri and T. stamineus. 

 The specimen, from the Sow and Pigs Reef, containing the oper- 

 culum here figured, is much larger than that Angas described, being 

 19 mm. in length, 17 mm. in major diameter, and 15 mm. in minor 

 diameter.
