1896. Clathurella parvula, Sowerby (non Reeve). P. 

 Mai. S. Loud., vol. ii., p. 28. 



Hab.— Port Phillip, Western Port ; Portland (C. M. Maple- 

 stone) ; dredged off Phillip Island, Western Port, about 5 

 fathoms (C. J. Gabriel). 



Obs. — The above species is fairly abundant in Port Phillip and 

 Westei'n Port. After carefully considering the meagre descrip- 

 tion and figure of Pleurotoma parvula. Reeve, Conch. Icon., vol. 

 i., pi. 28, f. 254, and being unable to see the actual type we 

 cannot agree with the conclusions of Sowerby in Proc. Mai. 

 S. Lond., vol. ii., p. 28 ; our shell is more nearly I'elated to 

 Clavatula spurca. Hinds, and still closer to C. rava, Hinds. 



The specimens dredged, above alluded to, ai'e of greater length 

 than usual, and the upper portion of the body whorl is not so 

 angulate. 



T. Woods himself acknowledges Siphonalia pulchra as an 

 immatui'e state of Clathurella philomena, in the Px'oceedings 

 of the Royal Society of Tasmania for 1879, amongst some 

 other corrections in a note to his paper on some Tasmanian 

 Trochida?. 



Clathurella kymatoessa, Watson. 



1886. Drillia kymatoessa, Watson. Chall. Zool., vol. xv., 

 p. 309, No. 39, pi. 26, f. 5. 

 Hab. — Off East Moncoeur Island, Bass Strait (Challenger). 

 Obs. — In general habit and sculpture this shell is very nearly 

 related to C. philomena, T. Woods, and this is especially notice- 

 able when it is compared with the large specimens of that species 

 dredged in Western Port, probably a connecting series may be 

 established. 



Clathurella legrandi, Beddome. 



1883. Drillia legrandi, Beddome. P.R.S. Tas., vol. 35,

 Hab.— Portland (C. M. Maplestone).
