MARINE SHELLS OF TASMANIA. 



Terebra lauretanse, Tenison- Woods; P.L.S., N.S.W., 

 1878. A single adult specimen from 40 fathoms off 

 Schouten Island adds this fine species to our list. It has 

 considerable resemblance to some tropical forms. 



Hedley (Rec. Aus. Mus., Vol. VI.) has recently 

 figured the species from a specimen taken in 300 fathoms 

 off Sydney. 



Drillia lacteola, Verco; T.R.S., S.A., 1909. Numerous 

 examples' in 80 fathoms off Schouten Island, also plentiful 

 off Cape Pillar in 100 fathoms. The commonest species 

 of its family in the deeper water of our Continental shelf. 



Drillia saxea, Sowerby; P. Mai. Soc, 1896. A number 

 were taken in 100 fathoms off Cape Pillar, and several in 

 40 fathoms oif Schouten Island. 



Drillia tricarinata, Tenison- Woods ;-. P.L.S., N.S.W., 

 1878. Taken in 40, 60, and 80 fathoms off Schouten 

 Island; most numerous in the shallower water. It shows 

 here the same variation recorded by Verco (T.R.S., S.A., 

 1909). 



Mangilia connectens, Sowerby; Pro. Mai. Soc, 1896. 

 A common shell in D'Entrecasteaux Channel, but 

 hitherto unidentified. 



MangiHa fallaciosa, Sowerby; P. M.S., 1896 (Daph- 

 nella). Many specimens in fine condition were taken in 

 100 fathoms off Cape Pillar. 



Daphnella bathentoma, Verco; T.R.S., S.A., 1909. 

 Two specimens from 100 fathoms off Cape Pillar. 



Daphnella lamellosa, Sowerby; P. Mai. Soc, 1896 

 (Clathurella). Several examples of this beautiful little 

 shell were taken in 40 fathoms off Schouten Island; also 

 fragments in 100 fathoms off Cape Pillar. 



Daphnella triseriata, Verco; T.R.S., S.A., 1909. 

 Several specimens from 40 fathoms off Schouten Island. 



Mitromorpha angusta, Verco; T.R.S., S.A., 1909. 

 Numerous in 100 fathoms off Cape Pillar. 



Leucosyrinx recta, Hedley; Mem. Aus. Mus., IV. 

 Three examples from 80 fathoms off Schouten Island. 

 Add a genus and species to our list. 



Larina (?) turbinata, Gat. and Gab.; P.R.S., Vic, 1909. 

 Three specimens (the largest living) occurred in 40 

 fathoms off Schouten Island. It was previously recorded 

 by the authors from our North Coast. This shell prob- 

 ably requires a new genus for its reception.
