. I have specimens, also collected by Professor Park." But unless the 
contents of the tube have been changed this identification is worse still, 
for the shells in the tube belong to one of the new species named by Suter 
himself in the Target Gully list as “ Bezanconia (Atazocerithium) 2 n. spp." 
We can therefore safely say that, so far, Basilissa Wats. has not been 
correctly recorded from New Zealand, and this genus must be omitted 
from our faunal lists. | 
The foregoing remarks show that Calliostoma has been denied its proper 
place in the New Zealand Tertiary. The author has studied all the avail- 
able specimens of the genus from New Zealand Tertiary localities (his best 
thanks are due to Dr. P. Marshall for generously forwarding him all the 
specimens in his possession), and as a result proposes four new species 
. and one new variety. 
Calliostoma suteri n. sp. (Plate 10, fig. 1, а, 0, c.) 
Shell small,.conical, rather solid, imperforate. Closely beaded, subequal 
spirals present, four strong ones on body-whorl about twice their width 
apart, with or without a much finer and less strongly beaded riblet 
intercalated between them; the nodules on lowest rib rather larger but 
only slightly more numerous than on the upper three. On base there are 
seven or eight beaded spirals subequidistant, with rarely a few much finer 
interstitial riblets. Spire straight, apical whorls missing, last whorl rather 
bluntly angled at periphery, base flatly convex. Suture slightly impressed. 
Aperture subrhomboidal, oblique, lirate within, sides thick (especially 
basal one) till near the edge, then narrowing rapidly where the callus 
stops, to a sharp, crenulate edge. Columella arcuate, oblique, slightly 
pearly, ending suddenly in slightly reflexed angle with basal lip. Inner 
lip spreading over umbilical tract as a thin callus, uniting ends of peristome. 
Height (estimated), 11 mm. ; width, 11 mm. (Imperfect holotype.) 
Holotype, from Ardgowan, and several fragmentary paratypes, from 
Target Gully, in author's collection. Also a specimen, forwarded by 
Dr. Marshall from Awamoa, which differs only in its slightly more 
convex base, due probably to adolescence. 
Remarks.—This is the shell named by Suter in the Target Gully list 
(N.Z. Geol. Surv. Bull. No. 20) as Calliostoma n. sp. 
The author has had an opportunity, through the kindness of Mr. P. G. 
Morgan, of examining the type specimen of C. acutangulum Sut., and the 
following differences may be noted: The new shell has strong nodules, 
e ribs and the distinctly forward slope on the lowest rib, gives the 
shells, agreed with the author, and added, “І think if we had better 
specimens from this locality that more differences would be found—for
