 one defining the umbilical region. Longitudinally the shell is

 curved, and reflected over the perforation. Seen from below the 

 mouth is somewhat rhomboidal, with one rounded side (the basal 

 margin) ; the callus is projected on the body whorl.

 that of a Fossarina. 



Adendum. — Since writing the above, Part 2 of Vol. xiv. of 

 the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Victoria (1902), has come 

 to hand. In it,'** Pritchard and Gatliff recognise Minos as a 

 synonym of Fossarina, and regard F. funiculata, Ten, Woods,'® as 

 a synonym of F. brazieri.
