general use of the name in the Mitride was unfortunate. In size and 
contour the shell resembles that of Twrris, but is broader. The peripheral 
keel is beaded either in the young stage, as in the genotype, or throughout 
life. A superficial resemblance to Gemiuula is acquired by the beaded 
periphery, but the position of the sinus differentiates it from the genera. 
Hydoux and Souleyet have shown that the operculum of Plewrotome nodifere 
has a lateral nucleus, thus conveying the genus to the Clavatuline. Turris 
conspicua and 7. altispira,* Tasmanian Tertiary fossils, may belong to this 
genus.
