Tertiary Fossils. 2B5 



One of the specimens found four miles west of Ooklea by Dr. 

 'Griffith laylor, is a cast in hard cream coloured limestone. Others 

 'Collected fiom near the same locality (Watson cutting), by Mr. Cud- 

 more, show a denuded shell, the riblets being devoid of ornament 

 except in one case, where the structure is seen to be that of C. 

 murrayanus ; the appearance is misleading, and the shell might 

 easily be mistaken for one of the Amusium type, like A. ijahliensis, 

 T. Woods sp. 



In the Miocene seas C. murrayanus attained a large size, some 

 examples measuring as much as 3^ inches in length. 



Previously recorded from South Australia in Miocene beds of the 

 Lower Murray River.
