DALL, WILLIAM HEALEY. Subdivisions 
of the Terebridae. 
Nautilus, xxi, No. 11, 
1908, pp. 124, 125. 
A revision of the group based on 
the museum collection. The follow- 
ing new subdivisions are proposed: 
Perirhoé for Terebra circumcineta 
Deshayes; T'riplostephanus for Tere- 
bra triseriata Gray; Acuminia for 
Terebra  lanceata Linnaeus; and 
Duplicaria for forms like Terebra 
duplicata Wamarck. A new tech- 
nical term, ‘‘ pervious,’’ is proposed 
for the condition when the axis of 
a spiral gastropod is coiled about 
a central vacant space without sepa- 
rating it from the cavity of the 
whorls, in contradistinetion to 
‘‘ perforate,’ which indicates an 
axial umbilicus completely separated 
from the cavity of the whorls.
