STUDIES ON AUSTRALIAN MOLLUSCA, 



the Bellenden Ker are larger, the example figured herewith being 

 4 - 75 mm. long, have an extra half whorl and the aperture is more 

 expanded. In other respects the shells are alike, so that I con- 

 clude that the specimens from the Bellender Ker represent the 

 adult state of the species. 



Callomphala globosa, 

 (Fig. 26.) 



.sp. 



This species differs from C. Incida by being smaller, higher in 

 proportion, and closely engraved with numerous fine, spiral striae. 

 Maj. diam., 2-4; minor diam., 2T; height, 2mm. 



Hab. — Near Darnley Island, Torres Straits, in 30 fathoms, 

 three specimens collected by J. Brazier. 



Fig. 26. 



For this species I revive the name Callomphala* proposed as 

 a subgenus for Neritula lucida, Adams & Angas. 



Owing to the name being given slight prominence in the text 

 it has been overlooked by all subsequent writers. Neither 

 Fischer nor Scudder has included it in their respective works. 

 I am under obligation to Dr. H. A. Pilsbry for directing my 

 attention to it. The prominent lip suggested to me that 

 Callomphala is related to Liotia, but as both Dall and Pilsbry 

 agree that its affinities are, as the original description stated, 

 with Teinostoma, I defer to their better judgment.
