 Straits I suppose, but not with confidence, to be the same species as that 

 from the Coral Sea.

Daphnellopsis Schepituai. 



Daphnellopsia Schepman, Siboga Exped. Monogr., xlixe., 1913, p. 449. 

 Type D. lamellosa Schepman, oj). cit. 



The unusual contour of an expanded peristome and varix renders this 

 genus noticeable, and easily distinguishable from others of the Turridse. 

 Probably Clathurella ubesa^^'^ should be here included. 



Daphnellopsis mup.ex np. nov. 



(Plate Ivi., figs. 196, 197, 198.) 



Shell small, rather thin, ovate-fusiform. Colour of dead specimen 

 uniform dull white. Including the pi'otoconch the whorls are four. 

 Protoconch involute, small, obliquely tilted, finely spirally grooved. 

 Sculpture: — Radial riblets cross the full breadth of the whorl, above 

 sharp and more closely set, on last whoi-l fainter, lower, and wider; about 

 fifteen to a whorl; varices irregulai% two on the last and one on the 

 penultimate whorl, lamellate, expanded, and having a general resemblance 

 to those of M'urex trifurmis ; the spiral threads are about twenty on the 

 last whorl, and about eight on the penultimate; fasciole indetei-minate. 

 Aperture: — Mouth elliplical; sinus subtubular; canal modeiatel}' pro- 

 duced, slightly bent, and nearl}^ closed. Length 5"5 mm., breadth 2 mm.

Tlie genotype is a Tertiary fossil from Tasmania and Victoria, and 

 the genus is hitherto unknown as recent. Several writers have expressed 

 doubts whether Teleochilnt; may be properly included in the Turrida\ My 

 own suggestion is that it may be a toothless member of the Acteouid«e 

 near BnlUnida.
