The following specimens, for the most part casts, are indeter- 

 minable specifically, but are interesting to record as establishing the 

 marine character of Tertiary deposits in certain parts of Australia, 

 and are worthy of notice also on other grounds : —

 larger, the body-whorl being more convex; the columella is 

 distinctly twisted. From NuUarbor Plains, South Australia.
