298 RECORDS OF THK AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM. 



tuve slightly ascending, narrow ab(jve, rounded within a deep 

 notch, fortified without by a heavy varix ; a thin callus is spread 

 on the inner lip. Canal short and broad. Length, 5-5 ; breadth, 

 1 mm. 



This species is related to D. Iricarindta, Ten. Woods, from 

 which it is readily separable by smaller size, broader form, and 

 )nore delicate sculpture. D. hfisicdJi is represented by numerous 

 specimens in the " Miner " haul, and seems to be generally dis- 

 tributed on our continental shelf. The " Thetis " took it in 

 41-50 fathoms off Cape Three Points, and I have dredged it in 

 100 fathoms off W(jllongong and -300 fathoms <jff" Sydney. 



Drillia pentagonalis, Verco, vm: 

 Dr'dlia pi'iiUKjonalis, Verco. Trans. Roy. Soc. S. xiustr., xx., 1896, 

 p. 222, pi. vii., f. 2, 2 a. 

 This is a new record for Eastern Australia. Observing that the 

 " Miner " shells differ from the original description by having 

 seven ribs instead of five, and by being of larger size, I submitted 

 them to the author of the species. Dr. \erco kindly replied: — 

 22 Sept, 1906. "Your Drillia \h I think my D. peutiujoiialis. 

 Yours is somewhat larger, and its angles do not run continuously 

 from end to end of the shell as in my type, but I feel sure it is only 

 a variant."
