GURALEUS MOROLOGUS s^'. nuV. 



(Plate Hi., fig. 146.) 



Daphmlla hrazieri Hedley, Mem. Austr. Mus., iv., 1903, p. 392, fig. 107 

 (not Clathurella hrazieri Angas). 



Shell thin, slender- fusiform, sub-turreted, upper whorls with a sloping 

 shoulder meeting a perpendicular periphery at an acute angle. The 

 radials are prominent spaced ribs, nine to twelve on the last whorl, finally 

 evanescent, acutely prominent on the shoulder, and diminishing in a 

 backward curve to the suture. The spiiuls are of two grades ; first spaced 

 cords that over-ride the ribs and lattice their interstices ; these vary m 

 size and number, about twenty may occupy the last whorl ; between these 

 cords are packed from three to ten minute threads ; these small spirals 

 cover the whole surface of the shell, and resolve under the lens into strings 

 of small and close grains. Aperture :— Mouth narrow ; columella straight ; 

 lip simple, sharp, and produced ; sinus bi'oad and shallow. Length 8 mm., 

 breadth 3 mm. 



At first acquaintance I mistook this for G. hrazieri, which is more 

 cylindrical, and has more and slighter radials. Superficially it resembles 

 G. coiinecteus, but microscopically the fine spirals of morologas are seen to 

 carry grains not appai-ent in coimectens. The protoconch of morologus is 

 also more bulbous than that of connectens.

 63 to 75 fathoms, Port Kembla ("Thetis" Expedition). Victoria;—
