Kam. TIRKITELI.IDAE. 

 Genus THKRITKLLA. Lamarck. 



Tlkritklla ciKCLMi-ifJATA, V^erco. 

 2'urrittlhi circumli(jota, Verco, 1910, Trans. R. Soc. S. 

 Austr., vol. xxxiv. p. 123, pi. xxx. figs. 3. 4. 

 Observations. — The two individuals found in the bore liave been 

 compared with living specimens received from Dr. Verco, obtained 

 off Beachport, S. Australia, at 110 fathoms. They are separable 

 from the thickly corded varieties of T. fristira, Tate,l by having 

 two heavy ligae. the anterior of which is generally separated into 

 three by deeply incised spiral furrows, the central division being 

 the thickest. The surface of the spiral cords is marked with fine 

 oblique striae. 



Distribution. — Bore 3, 226 feet. 



TURRITELLA PAGODULA, Tate. 



Turritella par,o(iiiIa, Tate. 1893, Trans. K. Soc. S. Austr., 

 vol. xvii. pt. 2. p. 336, pi. viii. fig. 10. 



Observations. — This species has hitherto been recorded from 

 three localities of the Kalimnan series, viz., Gippsland Lakes, 

 Beaumaris and Horsham. It is absent from the Hamilton beds, 

 but occurs in some abundance in the Mallee bores, thus pointing 

 to the isolation of the former locality in Lower Pliocene times 

 from the Great Murray Gulf area, which had direct connection with 

 the Port Philip and Bairnsdale Kalimnan shore-line. The Mallee 

 specimens are typical. 



Distribution.— Bore i, 163-170 feet. Bore 5, 155-159 feet; 

 163-175 feet; 175-189 feet. Bore 6, 114-150 feet. Bore 8, 165- 

 180 feet; 180-199 feet; 204-210 feet; 225-226 feet. Bore 9, 254- 

 256 feet; 315-325 feet. 



Fam. CERITHIIDAE. 

 Genus CERITHIUM. Bruguiere. 

 Cerithiu.m TORRii, Tate. 

 Cerithium torrii, Tate, 1899. Trans. R. Soc. S. Austr., vol. 

 xxiii. p. 109, pi. I. fig. 2. 

 Observations. — A partially pyritised specimen occurs in this 

 series. In places the shell still remains intact, and shows the
