A REVISION OF THE ATSTRAMAN TriiUritK IIRr>r,EV. 259 



Confusion was introduced into tliis section of conchology wlien 

 Iv A. Smith first i-eferred an Aastraliaii species to MitrornorplKi:^^ Iredale 

 recently drew attention ^^ to the accumulation of eri-ors which has enveh)fted 

 Miti-oiuorpliii. It seems likely that ^^MitrnninriilKi,'" as typified by .U. filnt^it, 

 does not even belong to the tui-rid group. A survey of those Austi-KJian 

 species which have been associated witli tliat f^eiius leads me to conclude 

 that MltrinuiirjiliK does not occur in Austi'alia. For them the following 

 re-arrangement is now [)ropose(l. 



Mitromorplta brdzieri Smith, for which Si-riin'nm is now suggested, 

 Bathijtoma narciitiiht Hedle}', and B. hiroiiimm Hedley, are re-classified 

 under the generic name of Telenrhilii.';. 



Mitromorphd cuiiSKndra Hedley, 3/. fiallidiiJa Hedley, and M. dollJu May, 

 are now ti-ansfei'red to Prosipho Thiele. 



ColnmbeUa albd Petterd, MaiKiHia iiicerta Pritchard and Gatliif, Mitra 

 daphuelloides Tenison Woods, MItromorphn anynsta Verco, .1/. (ixico:'tatii 

 Verco, M. costatn May, IT. multlro.itat(( May, M. paucilirata Veico, and 

 M. pnula Verco, are now all assembled in a new genus Mitritharu. 



To Scrinium I would also i-efer Behi neozelanica Suter,5i from North 

 New Zealand.

SCRINIU.M KTRTIVCM .-7'. iinv. 



(Plate xlv., fig. 53.) 



Shell small, very solid, ovate-oblong, rounded at either end. Whorls 

 six, two forming the low protoconch, convex, a little constricted below the 

 suture, which is deeply impressed. Colour vinaceous-buff, sometimes with 

 a white zone its own breadth below the suture, and half-a-dozen evenly 

 spaced narrow white lines on the remainder of the whorl ; the columella 

 terra-cotta, and the throat orange-cinnamon vpith a buff zone. Sculpture: — 

 In general the shell is smooth ; on the upper whorls about ten low nodular 

 ribs ai-e scarcely distinguishable ; lines of grc^wth are marked by numerous 

 irregular scratches; a few evanescent spiral grooves may or -may not 

 appear on the body whorl. Aperture wide, smooth within, outer lip 

 simple, the sinus i^epresented by an arch of the summit; inner lip a thin 

 callus, which at the basal axis meets at an acute angle a thicker callus 

 rising to form a reflected border to the short and very broad canal ; 

 columella vertical, flattened, and a little twisted. Length 75 mm., 

 breadth 3 mm.
