1883. Marginella (Glabella) turbinata, Tryon (non Sow- 

 erby). Id., p. 93, pi. 7, f. 5. 



Hab.— Port Philip ; Western Port ; Portland. 



Obs. — On comparing the figures and descriptions of M. 

 pygmsea, Sowerby, and M. volutiformis, Reeve, we have been 

 unable to separate them ; Tryon, however, gets into considerable 

 confusion in his treatment of these species, for he considers M. 

 pygma^a, Sowerby, to be identical with M. translucida, Sowerby. 

 The latter species is found in Port Jackson, and specimens before 

 us show it to be quite distinct ; also he regards M. volutiformis. 

 Reeve, as a smooth variety of M. turbinata, Sowerby, but this 

 cannot be entertained, unless the definition of species in the 

 genus covers greater variation than is at present allowed. 



Our specimens of M. pygmtea, Sowerby, show some slight 

 variation in aspect on account of differences in the length of the 

 spire, this, apparently, is the reason why Reeve describes M. 

 volutiformis, as a new species. 



Neither Sowerby nor Reeve gives a locality for their respective 

 species, as they refer to the habitat as unknown.
