  In 
  tlie 
  same 
  place 
  two 
  months 
  later 
  (p. 
  322) 
  A. 
  Adams 
  introduced 
  

   the 
  genus 
  Mitromorpha 
  with 
  only 
  one 
  species, 
  M. 
  lirata, 
  nov., 
  but 
  he 
  

   referred 
  to 
  Carpenter's 
  usage 
  of 
  the 
  name. 
  This 
  species, 
  which 
  has 
  

   been 
  commonlj- 
  cited 
  as 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  Ilitrojnorpha, 
  is 
  obviously 
  not 
  

   generic 
  with 
  Carpenter's 
  sliell, 
  but 
  I 
  cannot 
  explain 
  how 
  the 
  mistake 
  

   arose. 
  The 
  Adarasian 
  shell 
  lias 
  not 
  yet 
  been 
  figured, 
  but 
  I 
  hope 
  to 
  

   remedy 
  this 
  later 
  when 
  dealing 
  more 
  completely 
  with 
  the 
  species 
  

   names. 
  The 
  two 
  species 
  recorded 
  by 
  Carpenter 
  were 
  only 
  classed 
  as 
  

   varieties 
  by 
  Adams, 
  but 
  they 
  are 
  apparently 
  valid 
  species. 
  Two 
  

   congeneric 
  species 
  have 
  been 
  figured, 
  namely, 
  Pleurotoma 
  agrota, 
  

   lleeve 
  (Conch. 
  Icon., 
  sect. 
  Pleurotoma, 
  Dec. 
  1845, 
  pi. 
  xxxi, 
  sp. 
  and 
  

   fig. 
  276, 
  Singapore, 
  7 
  fathoms) 
  and 
  BapJmella 
  crefiuhta, 
  Pease 
  

   (Amer. 
  Journ. 
  Conch, 
  vol. 
  iii, 
  Jan. 
  2, 
  1868, 
  p. 
  221, 
  pi. 
  xv, 
  fig. 
  20, 
  

   Paumotus), 
  and 
  I 
  therefore 
  propose 
  Antimitka, 
  gen. 
  nov., 
  and 
  name 
  

   Pleurotoma 
  cegrota, 
  Reeve, 
  as 
  type. 
  Adams' 
  Mitromorpha 
  lirata 
  is 
  

   concliologically 
  referable 
  to 
  this 
  genus. 
  

  

  When 
  Pace 
  dealt 
  with 
  Columbelloid 
  shells 
  he 
  considered 
  Carpenter's 
  

   D. 
  filosa 
  as 
  congeneric 
  with 
  Columhella 
  dormitor, 
  Sowerby, 
  even 
  as 
  

   Crosse 
  had 
  suggested, 
  but 
  gave 
  no 
  name 
  to 
  the 
  group. 
  Carpenter's 
  

   Mitromorpha 
  is 
  now 
  available. 
  Pace 
  also 
  added 
  here 
  Co?ms 
  atra- 
  

   7nentosus, 
  Reeve, 
  and 
  Coyms 
  parvus, 
  Pease. 
  The 
  former 
  was 
  described 
  

   (Conch. 
  Icon., 
  sect. 
  Conus, 
  Suppt., 
  June, 
  1 
  849, 
  pi. 
  vii, 
  sp. 
  and 
  fig. 
  265) 
  

   from 
  Mindoro, 
  Philippine 
  Islands. 
  I 
  do 
  not 
  consider 
  this 
  congeneric 
  

   with 
  Mitromorpha, 
  and 
  therefore 
  propose 
  Lovellona, 
  gen. 
  nov., 
  with 
  

   this 
  species 
  as 
  type. 
  Several 
  distinct 
  species 
  have 
  been 
  hitherto 
  

   confused 
  under 
  this 
  name. 
  Comis 
  parvus 
  was 
  proposed 
  by 
  Pease 
  

   (Amer. 
  Journ. 
  Conch., 
  vol. 
  iv, 
  Nov. 
  3, 
  1868, 
  p. 
  126) 
  as 
  a 
  new 
  name 
  

   for 
  Cotius 
  fusiformis, 
  Pease 
  (Proc. 
  Zool. 
  Soc. 
  Lond., 
  1860, 
  p. 
  398), 
  

   from 
  the 
  Sandwich 
  Islands. 
  Hedley 
  has 
  recently 
  described 
  Conus 
  

   micarius 
  (Rec. 
  Austr. 
  Mus., 
  vol. 
  viii, 
  1912, 
  p. 
  147, 
  pi. 
  xliii, 
  fig. 
  32) 
  

   from 
  Cape 
  York, 
  which 
  he 
  compared 
  with 
  Pease's 
  parvus. 
  These 
  

   may 
  both 
  be 
  classed 
  in 
  Lovellona. 
  

  

  Oliver 
  named 
  a 
  Kerraadec 
  shell 
  Mitramorpha 
  [sic] 
  expeditionis 
  

   (Trans. 
  New 
  Zealand 
  Inst., 
  vol. 
  xlvii, 
  1915, 
  p. 
  539, 
  fig. 
  36), 
  which 
  does 
  

   not 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  at 
  all 
  closely 
  related 
  to 
  any 
  named 
  Turroid 
  group, 
  so 
  

   that 
  I 
  propose 
  the 
  new 
  genus 
  Apatueris 
  for 
  it. 
  I 
  have 
  evidence 
  

   of 
  other 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  Indo-Pacific 
  area 
  to 
  be 
  discussed 
  later. 
  

   I 
  anticipate 
  that 
  Hedley 
  will 
  not 
  deal 
  with 
  the 
  extra 
  Australian 
  

   fossil 
  species 
  allotted 
  to 
  Mitromorpha, 
  nor 
  will 
  I, 
  but 
  I 
  would 
  here 
  

   note 
  for 
  the 
  benefit 
  of 
  palseontological 
  workers 
  that 
  a 
  heterogeneous 
  

   assemblage 
  appears 
  also 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  created 
  in 
  connection 
  with 
  the 
  

   name, 
  and 
  as 
  Mitromorpha 
  has 
  now 
  been 
  shown 
  to 
  be 
  untenable 
  in 
  

   connection 
  with 
  the 
  recent 
  shells 
  commonly 
  so 
  named 
  it 
  would 
  be 
  

   well 
  to 
  rearrange 
  the 
  fossils 
  without 
  much 
  consideration 
  of 
  the 
  name 
  

   here 
  given 
  to 
  the 
  group 
  which 
  Adams' 
  species 
  is 
  referred 
  to.
