A REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN TURRIDE—HEDLEY. 259 
Confusion was introduced into this section of conchology when 
E. A. Smith first referred an Australian species to Mitromorpha.® Iredale 
recently drew attention ® to the accumulation of errors which has enveloped 
Mitromorpha. It seems likely that “Mitromorphu,” as typified by M. filosa, 
does not even belong to the turrid group. A survey of those Australian 
species which have been associated with that genus leads me to conclude 
that Mitromorphu does not occur in Australia. For them the following 
re-arrangement is now proposed. 
Mitromorpha brazieri Smith, for which Serinium is now suggested, 
Bathytoma sarecinula Hedley, and B. hiconicwm Hedley, are re-classified 
under the generic name of Teleochilus. 
Mitromorpha cassandra Hedley, M. pallidula Hedley, and M. solida May, 
are now transferred to Prosipho Thiele. 
Columbella alba Petterd, Mungilia incertu Pritchard and Gatliff, Mitr 
daphnelloides Tenison Woods, Mitromorpha ungusta Verco, M. avicostatu 
Verco, M. costutw May, M. multicostata May, M. paucilirata Vereo, and 
M. paula Verco, are now all assembled in a new genus Mitrithuru. 
To Seriniwm I would also refer Bela weozelanicu Suter,*! from North 
New Zealand.

ScRINIUM FURTIVOM sp. mov. 
(Plate xlyv., fig. 53.) 
Shell small, very solid, ovate-oblong, rounded at either end. Whorls 
six, two forming the low protoconch, convex, a little constricted below the 
suture, which is deeply impressed. Colour vinaceous-buff, sometimes with 
a white zone its own breadth below the suture, and half-a-dozen evenly 
spaced narrow white lines on the remainder of the whorl; the columella 
terra-cotta, and the throat orange-cinnamon with a buff zone. Sculpture:— 
In general the shell is smooth ; on the upper whorls about ten low nodular 
ribs are scarcely distinguishable; lines of growth are marked by numerous 
irregular scratches; a few evanescent spiral grooves may or may not 
appear on the body whorl. Aperture wide, smooth within, outer lip 
simple, the sinus represented by an arch of the summit; inner lip a thin 
callus, which at the basal axis meets at an acute angle a thicker callus 
rising to form a reflected border to the short and very broad canal; 
columella vertical, flattened, and a little twisted. Length 75 mm., 
breadth 3 mm.
