 fathoms, off Cape Pillar, Tasmania. 



Dredged at the same stations as the preceding species, 

 but in smaller numbers, 



Turritella kimberi, n. sp. PL xv., f. 14, 15. 



Shell thin, long, narrow, imperforate, of ten whorls with- 

 out the protoconch, which is absent. Another individual 

 shows a long tapering protoconch of four smooth convex 

 white whorls. Sutures deep. Spire- whorls well rounded; 

 with equidistant, low, spiral ribs, six in the penultimate, the 

 infrasutural one being the least valid, the upper slope of the 

 rib very steep and short, nearly vertical, the lower long and 

 sloping; the intercostal furrows appearing in the throat as 

 opaque white capillary spiral lines. The body-whorl has ten 

 spirals; base convex. Aperture slightly oblique, elliptical; 

 outer lip thin, uniformly convex; inner lip a scarcely percep- 

 tible glaze on the body-whorl ; columellar lip nearly straight, 

 narrowly reflected; basal lip slightly effuse. Colour translu- 

 cent white. 



Dim. — Length, 7'7 mm.; breadth, 1'7; length of aper- 

 ture, 1'4 mm.; width, '9. 



Locality. — Type, Backstairs Passage, 20 fathoms, with 

 eight others fresh but dead. Port Willunga, one (Kimber). 



Type in Dr. Verco's collection. 



Obs. — It may reach 8'5 mm. in length. 



Diagnosis. — Turitella parva, Angas, differs in its brown 

 colour and its light chestnut sutural band, its three keels on 

 the whorls, its subquadrate aperture, and in its columella 

 thickened and produced at the base. 



Sella attenimta, Hedley, superficially resembles it, but 

 differs in its anterior notch.
