[SUPPLEMENT TO PART I.] 



Fusus henicus, spec. nov. Plate vi., fig. ii. 



Shell fusiform, with a short spire, ending in a turbinate pullus 

 of one and a half smooth convex whorls. 



Whorls, three, excluding the apical one, rather sharply keeled 

 in the one-fourth, obliquely plicated ; the plic?e (ten to a whorl) 

 forming blunt wedge-shaped tubercles on the keel. 



Surface ornamented with stout subangulated lira?, about seven 

 on the last whorl posterior to the periphery, with occasionally a 

 slender thread in the broader intervening sulci, and by coarse 

 subdistant curvilinear growth-lines. 



The last whorl abruptly contracted in a long straight, slender, 

 open beak ; base with numerous wrinkled lira^, the interspaces- 

 coarsely cancellated. 



Dimensions. — Lengih, 25; breadth, 11-5; length of canal and 

 aperture, 18. 



Locality. — Lower beds at Muddy Creek {J. Dennnnt). 



This species comes near to F. AIdin(/ensis,iroiii which it differs. 

 by its turbinate pullus, coai-ser ornament, blunt nodulations, and 

 by the angulation of the whorls being closer to the anterior 

 suture. It has also much resemblance to the young of Tudici'Ja 

 turhinata. 



Fusus Gippslandicus, Taie. Figured harewith, Plate iii., fig. 6. 



Fasciolaria fusilla, spec. nov. Plate vi., fig. 12. 



Sliell ovately fusifoini, with a moderately long spire, ending in 

 a prominent bead-like pullus with the apex laterally immersed, 

 AVhorls, four, excluding the pullus, flatly convex, spirally lirate, 

 a*nd distantly transversely lined ; lira? slender, more or less alter- 

 nately large and small, about 18 on the penultimate whorl, a 

 little narrower than the intervening sulci. 



Last whorl regularly rounded to the gradually contracting' 

 l^ase, spirally lirate ; columella slightly arcuate witli three
