and less sloping shoulders. Some young shells whieh I dredged in Torres 
Straits I suppose, but not with confidence, to be the same species as that 
from the Coral Sea. ‘ 
Hab. Bird Islet, Wreck Reef; Coral Sea, lat. 22.10 S., lone. 155.28 H. 
(type, Australian Museum). Queensland:— 4 to 14 fathoms, Albany 
Passage; 5 to § fathoms, Murray Island (self). 
DAPHNELLOPSIS Schepmvan. 
Daphnellopsis Schepman, Siboga Exped. Monogr., xlixe., 1913, p. 449. 
Type D. lamellosa Schepman, op. cit. 
The unusual contour of an expanded peristome and varix renders this 
genus noticeable, and easily distinguishable from others of the Turride. 
Probably Clathurella obesa* should be here included. 
DAPHN®LLOPSIS MUREX sp. n0v. 
(Plate lvi., figs. 196, 197, 198.) 
Shell small, rather thin, ovate-fusiform. Colour of dead specimen 
uniform dull white. Including the protoconch the whorls are four. 
Protoconch involute, small, obliquely tilted, finely spirally grooved. 
Sculpture :— Radial riblets cross the full breadth of the whorl, above 
sharp and more closely set, on last whorl fainter, lower, and wider; about 
fifteen to a whorl; varices irregular, two on the last and one on the 
penultimate whorl, lamellate, expanded, and having a general resemblance 
to those of Murex triformis; the spival threads are about twenty on the 
last whorl, and about eight on the penultimate; fasciole indeterminate. 
Aperture :—Mouth elliptical; sinus subtubular; canal moderately pro- 
duced, slightly bent, and nearly closed. Length 5°5 mm., breadth 2 mm. 
Hab. Queensland :—5 to 8 fathoms, Murray Island (type, self).

The genotype is a Tertiary fossil from Tasmania and Victoria, and 
the genus is hitherto unknown as recent. Several writers have expressed 
doubts whether Teleochilus may be properly included in the Turride. My 
own suggestion is that it may be a toothless member of the Acteonidee 
near Bullinula.
