AUSTROFUSUS. 137 



S, VARICOSA, Kiener. PL 54, fig. 353. 



Light brown, the revolving stria} darker. Length, 2 inches. 



Hab. unknown. 



This species was first figured by Chemnitz, but his figures as 

 well as Kiener's are from worn specimens. My illustration is 

 from Reeve, and represents a very peculiar shell, the generic 

 position of which is doubtful.

S. GYRATA, Hinds (Vol. II, 151, t. 33, f. 362). 



This shell may be a young Siphonalia, although described as a

 toma philomeiide, with undeveloped lip.

 upper part.
