Neiv and Rare Fossils. 319- 



Fam. EULIMIDAE. 

 Genus EULIMA. Kisso. 



EULIMA FINCJUICULA, sp. IIOV. (PI. XXVIl., Fi<,'. 26). 



Description-. — Shell pyramidal, (?) subacute at apex; whorls 

 seven, the earlier ones subdepressed, gradually becoming more 

 convex, the last being rather swollen. Sutures well marked. 

 Aperture long-ovate, with a thin callosity on the columellar 

 margin. Surface polished. 



Dimensions. — Length (circ), 5.5 mm. Width (circ), 2 mm. 



Observations. — Four specimens of this rather distinct species 

 were found at one horizon in one of the Bores. It has a larger 

 aperture than E. danae, T. Woods. 1 whilst the whorls are more 

 convex, and the apex is less acute. 



The living species, Eulima inflata, Tate and May, 2 of Tasmania 

 and Victoria, is a shorter shell with a more circular aperture; 

 otherwise it bears some resemblance to the above species. 



Distribution.— Bore 10, 225-230 feet. 



Fam. PYRAMIDELLIDAE. 



Genus PYRAMIDELLA, Lamarck. 



Pyramidklla jonksiana, Tate sp. 

 Odontostomia {Syriiola) jonesiana, Tate, 1898, Trans. R.. 



Soc. S. Austr., vol. xxii. p. 70; p. 82 (fig.) 

 Pyramidella jonesiana, Tate sp. Pritchard and Gatliff, 

 1900, Proc. R. Soc. Vict., vol. XIII (N.S.), pt. I. p. 

 147. 

 Observations. — The above species was first described by Professor 

 Tate from fossil specimens (Werrikooian) from the Tintiiiara Bore, 

 S. Austi-alia. 



P. jonesiana is related to P. tincta, Angas sp.,3 another recent 

 Victorian species, but is distinguished from the latter by its 

 greater breadth. 



It is noteworthy that this is another living species occurring also 

 in the Cainozoic strata of Victoria and S. Australia. It is found
