726 STUDIES ON AUSTRALIAN MOLLUSCA, xii., 



Another member of this genus, hitherto unrecorded for New 

 South Wales, is M. victorire Gatliff & Gabriel, which I have taken 

 in Middle Harbour."^ 



Marginella inconspicua Sowerby. 

 (Plate Ixxxii., fig.64.) 



Marginella inconspicua Sowerby, Thes. Conch., i., 1846, p. 387, 

 P1.75, fig.80; /c^.,Ileeve, Conch Icon., xv., 1865, P1.25, fig.141; 

 (not M. inconspicua G. & H. Nevill, Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 

 xliii., 1874, p.23; xliv., 1875, p.95, PL viii., figs.lO, 11). 



This shell was described from an unknown locality. Mr. J. Pv. 

 Le B. Tomlin informed me that it belongs to the Sydney fauna. 

 By his kind assistance, I am now able to identify it from Ballina, 

 Port Stephens, Port Jackson, Gerringong, N.S.W.; and Schouten 

 Island, Tasmania. It is allied to M. olivella Reeve, than which 

 it is about one-half the length, and more attenuate anteriorly. 

 Marginella evanida Sowerby, is broader, with outer lip inflected, 

 but closely resembles M. iriconspicua. A specimen, identified by 

 Mr. Tomlin, is here figured; it is 5*5 mm. long. 



Marginella angasi Crosse. 

 (Plate Ixxxii., fig.66.) 



Marginella angasi Crosse, Journ. de Conch., xviii., 1870, p. 304; 

 xix., 1871, p.324, PI. xii., fig.3 : Id., Watson, Chall. Rep. Zool., 

 XV., 1866, p.266. 



This shell is figured as with a single columellar fold, a peculi- 

 arity to which Watson has alluded. Through the distribution, 

 by Brazier, of authentic specimens, this species was well known 

 in Australia as with many folds. Impressed by the discrepancy 

 between Brazier's specimens and Crosse's figure, I took examples 

 to Paris. Mr. Dautzenberg, who now owns the " collection du 

 journal " which contains the type, kindly showed it to me. I 

 found that the animal had dried in the aperture of the type- 

 specimen and concealed all the folds but the first, hence the error 

 of the artist. To show the proper disposition of the armature, 

 herewith is figured a shell which I compared, in Paris, with the 

 type of M. angasi.
