Drillia bednalli, Sowerby, Proc. Mai. Soc, London, 1896, vol. 

 ii., p. 25, pi. iii., fig. 3. Type locality— "Gulf St. Vincent (Verco)" ; 

 Tate and May, Proc. Linn. Soc, New South Wales, vol. xxvi., 

 1901, p. 368, who regard it as a variety of D. woodsi, Beddome. 



Although it varies a good deal, as Sowerby points out, 

 it does not seem to me to grade into D. woodsi. j but to retain 

 a valid spiral lira midway between the angle and the suture, 

 and some fine spiral strise between the angle and the suture. '
