268 KECOKD8 OF THE AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM. 



My figure is derived from a specimen 20 mm. long and 8 mm. broad, 

 dredged by Brazier off Cape Grenville. 



The species is like a gigantic E. ab/jt^sicula. It is more gibbons, with 

 fewer radials, and lai'ger than E. Jijrica. 



Hdh. Western Australia . — 38 fathoms, Holothuria Banks (type, 

 J. J. Walkei). Queensland : — 10 fathoms, Darnley Island ; Cape Grenville 

 (Brazier); 4 to 14 fathoms, Albany Passage; 5 to 10 fathoms, Hope 

 Island; 15 fathoms, Palm Island (self). 



EUCITHARA INFULATA HpiJJpij. 



Mangelia infulnta Hedley, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xxxiv., 1909, p. 457, 

 pi. xliv., fig. 92. 



This species closely resembles E. apolJinea Melvill, from the Persian 

 Gulf, but may be distinguished by larger size, fewer ribs, and more 

 pronounced spiral strise. For a group of smooth shells having the contour 

 oi Enoithara, but without the characteristic grain sculpture, I now propose 

 a subgenus Leiocithara, type M. iufulata. The following species niay 

 also be included : — M. pelliicida Reeve, M. trivittata Adams and Reeve, 

 M. apolliiiea Melvill. 



Hah. Queensland : — 5 to 10 fathoms, Hope Island (type); 15 fathoms, 

 Palm Island; 5 to 8 fathoms, Murray Island (self).

Cithara 1 ijrn Scliepman, Siboga Exped. Monogr., xHxc, 1913, p. 436. 



As this species is involved in some obscni'ity I present the figure of 

 a shell thus identified, 15 mm. in length, which 1 collected dead on the 

 beach at the mouth of the Annam River, Queensland. It is named by 

 comparison with a Philippine shell sent to me by Mr. H. Fulton. The 

 figure of Reeve represents a shell which, though slightly larger, is still 

 immature and toothless. E. lyra seems not to have been previously 

 recorded from Australia. 



Hah. Queensland. — Annam River bar (self); Barney Point; Glad- 

 stone (Kesteven).
