A REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN TURRID® —HEDLEY. 237 
The shell reported by Brazier?! as Drilli« alabaster var. is here 
described as I. flindersianus. 
Drillia exaruta Reeve was identified. by Sowerby*? from South 
Australia. It has been indicated*? that this species is American, not 
Australian. 
Drillia crenularis Lams. was identified by Pritchard and Gatliff from 
Portland, Victoria.** Confirmation of this doubtful record would be 
acceptable 
Drilli« putillus Reeve, recorded by Brazier ® from Cape York, is here 
deseribed as I. yrunobulteutus Hedley. 
Drillia pseudocarinatu Reeve was recorded by Tenison-Woods* from 
King Island. It has not since been recognised. 
Drillia sinensis Hinds was reported by Brazier*” from Cape Grenville, 
Queensland. His specimens prove to be I. sterrha Watson. 
Drilliv vevillum Reeve was reported by Angas*8 from Middle Harbour, 
N.S.Wales. This is an American, not an Australian species. 
Drillia weldiana Tenison-Woods, described as from Tasmania, has 
been noted as a synonym of the foreign D. fucata Reeve.*? 
INQUISITOR CORIORUDIS sp. ov. 
(Plate xliii., fig. 25.) 
Shell lanceolate, subturreted, spire slender and tall. Whorls ten, of 
which two constitute the protoconch. Suture deeply impressed. Colour 
olive-buff, with irregular tawny dashes. Hpidermis thin and fibrous. 
Sculpture :—The earlier whorls have a double row of prominent peri- 
pheral beads, arranged about ten toa whorl; by interposition of additional 
spirals each double bead extends into a short oblique nodose rib; below 
the suture is an indefinite band, followed by a distinct and excavate 
fasciole; the latter is sculptured with fine ]unate striz; on the last whorl 
anterior to the fasciole are about twenty-three prominent but irregular 
spiral cords, some of which are rendered nodulous by passing over the 
ribs. Aperture :—Outer lip sharp and simple; sinus wide and V-shaped ; 
columella coated with a thin callus. Length 23 mm., breadth 7 mm. 
This species has a general resemblance to I. covi, but is a more 
slender form, having both radial and spiral sculpture more prominent. 
Hub. N.S.Wales :—300 fathoms, 27 miles east of Sydney (type, self).
