16 Frede7'ick Ghapvian: 



pressed sutures. Outer lip not so extensive as in V. elUpsoidea^ with 

 a straight margin rather than convex; inner lip with a thin callus 

 and six plaits, of which the anterior is oblique, and just within the 

 entrance to the canal, the second, third and fourth slightly oblique 

 and evenly spaced, the fifth and sixth smaller and close together 

 beyond the second third of the inner lip margin. Surface nearly 

 smooth, covered with fine indistinct striae, both spiral and vertical. 



Dimensions. — Length, 72 mm. (body whorl, 46 mm.; spire, 26 

 mm.). Width of body whorl, 23.5 mm. Height of protoconch, 4 mm. 



Relationships. — The nearest species to which the above form is- 

 related is V. ellipsoidea, Tate.so it differs, however, in the depressed 

 convexity of the whorls, the compression of the outer lip, the nar- 

 rower protoconch, the more oblique sutures, and the absence of 

 lirae. Besides these differences, V. sexuaplicata has the two extra 

 plicae on the inner columellar lip. 



Occurence. — Valuta (Aulica) sexuaplicata is represented by a 

 well-preserved example from the Balcombian (Oligocene) of Clifton 

 Bank, Muddy Creek, presented by Mr. G. P. Tait. 



Fam. CANCELLARIIDAE. 



Genus Cancel laria, Lamarck. 

 Cancellaria torquayensis, sp. nov. (Platei III., Fig. 25.) 



Description. — Shell bucciniform, stout, with a small rounded 

 protoconch of two turns, and five moderately convex whorls. The 

 ephebic and neanic stages have rather flattened whorls, ornamented 

 with well marked spiral striae, vertically lineated. Penultimate and- 

 body whorl inflated, with about 15 rounded costae; both these and, 

 the interspaces transversely grooved with deeply incised lines. 



Dimensions. — Height, 23 mm.; width of body whorl, 15 mm.;: 

 height of body whorl, 14.5 mm. 



Observations. — This shell is of the type of Cancellaria atistralis^^ 

 in the costate and spirally grooved ornament. The spire in C. tor^ 

 quayensis is more elongated and the costation is not seen until the- 

 fourth whorl. 



Occurrence. — Janjukian (Miocene). Bird Rock Cliffs, Torquay.
