Pyrene alizon^e Melvill & Standen. 



Columbella (Mitrella) alizonce Melvill & Standen, Proc. Zool. 

 Soc, 1901, p. 402, PL xxi., fig. 5. 



This species has not hitherto been recognised in Australia. By 

 comparison with authentic specimens from the Persian Gulf, I have 

 identified two specimens collected by myself on the western beach 

 at Dunk Island, Queensland; and one from the Six-mile beach, 

 Port Stephens, N. S. Wales, received from Mr. J. Brazier. 



Pyrene beddomei Petterd. 



Columbella attenuate/, Angas, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1871, p. 14, PI. i., 

 fig. 4; Not Columbella attenuata Beyrich, 1854, Pace, Proc. Malac 

 Soc, v., 1902, p. 57. 



Terebra beddomei Petterd, Journ. of Conch., iv., 1884, p. 142. 



In the British Museum are five attenuata from Sydney, pre- 

 sented by Angas in 1871, and, therefore, probably types, but not 

 so marked. Pace shows that this name was previously used by 

 Beyrich in 1854, so it becomes necessary to revive Petterd's name, 

 T. beddomei, generally acknowledged as a synonym.
