elevated lamelle, commencing at the suture and ending as imbricating 
scales on the snout; there are sixteen on the last whorl. Aperture :— 
Lip simple, sinus short and subsutural; canal short. Length 1:55 mm., 
breadth 0°85 mm. 
Allied to N. exeavatu, to which at first I had referred it. On recon- 
sideration I think it separable by shorter, broader form, and by more 
numerous radials, which do not project at the shoulder as in excavata.

ASPERDAPHNE 0M. 100. 
Asperdaphne nom. nov. for Scabrella Hedley, Journ. Roy. Soc. N.S.W., li., 
1918, suppl. p. M. 83 (mot Scabrella Sacco, Moll. Piemonte Liguria, 
pt. vi., 1890, p. 54, type Colwmbella scabra Bellardi). Type Daphnella 
versivestita Hedley. 
This genus resembles Daphnella in form and general appearance, but 
differs in having the nucleus spirally grooved instead of being obliquely 
reticulated. The contour is lanceolate rather than oval; the shell has 
usually more whorls, increasing less rapidly, with a longer and more 
turreted spire; and the anal fasciole is usually more marked than in 
Daphnellu, being more excavate, and crossed by sharp crescentic riblets. 
Some members of this genus have a superficial resemblance to Defrancia, 
under which genus they have been arranged. 
Clathurella dictyota Hutton, and Daphnella aculeata Webster, from 
New Zealand, may be included here. 
The citation by Schmeltz% of Defranciu pumila Mighels from Bass 
Straits is an obvious error. (lathurella reticosta Adams and Angas 29 100
