COCCULINELLA TASMANICA, sp. nOV. 



Shell small, white, thin, smooth, narrowly oval, 

 pyramidal, apex subcentral, margin much raised at each 

 end. There is no sculpture, except faint growth lines. 



Length, 5; breadth, 2.6; height, 2 mill. 



Type, with a number of others, from forty to seventy 

 fathoms along the East Coast. 



This species is a near ally of C. comjjressa, Suter, 

 from New Zealand, and G. coerxita, Hedley, from New 

 South Wales. It is nearer the former, which is rather 

 narrower, higher, and has fine radial sculpture. The latter 

 is narrower, flatter, and has an almost flat base. Prob- 

 ably they are local forms of one variable species, in which 

 perhaps some peculiarity in their place of attachment has 

 determined the form of the base; straight in one case, 

 much curved in the others. 



All the specimens taken have been "dead"' shells, but 

 there a.re indications that in life they would be glassy and 

 semi-transparent.

EuLiMA APHELES, Tenisou Woods. 



Described in these proceedings for 1878, p. 40. 



The tvpe Avas missing for many years, but was lately- 

 discovered, having been mislaid in the Tasmanian 

 Museum. I here present a figure from the type, which is 

 so marked by the author. I consider it to be an absolute 

 synonym of EuUma augur, Angas.

EuLiMA MARGiNATA, Tenison Woods. 



Described with the last and also recovered with it, and 

 marked as type by the author. This specimen I have also 

 figured. It is given by Tate and May, P.L. Soc, New 

 South Wales, for 1901, p. 381, as a prior name for 

 Stylifer lodderoe, Petterd. This identification was in- 

 coiToct. It is a true Eulima, and I believe it to be only a 

 sihort, stumny form of the variable E . augur, Angas.
