up, becoming erect and bluntly spinose. These spiral threads on the* 

 outer, peripheral side are radiately curved, and pass into the calcarate- 

 portion of the shell. 



An example from Table Cape, in the Dennant Collection, measuring 

 24 mm. in diameter, shows a very coarse spiral ornament on the- 

 earlier whorls of the shell. 



Occurrence. — Here noted for the first time from Rose Hill, near 

 Bairnsdale (donated by F. A. Cudmore to the National Museum). 

 Other localities, mentioned by Dr. Pritchard are Keilor, Flemington, 

 and the Moorabool Valley. Also found at Table Cape (Johnston, Den- 

 nant and Pritchard). 



Age. — Janjukian (Miocene).

Observations. — As the nomenclature of this species is rather in- 

 volved, it may help future workers by recording the synonymy as above. 

 In the Dennant Collection this particular species was labelled with 

 Tate's MS. name. The most typical fcrm there found is rather 

 more depressed than Dr. Pritchard's type, probably owing to its being 

 a more youthful shell. The measurements of this specimen are: — 

 Height, 24.5 mm.; greatest diameter, 30 mm. Height of mouth, 15.5 

 mm. Diameter of umbilicus, 4 mm. 



From the living perforated Turbos, T. undulatus, Martyn sp.,i6 

 and T. stamineus, Martyn sp.,i' it differs both in ornament and con- 

 tour, although distantly related. T. undulatus bears spiral ridges but 

 they are not so pronounced, and the growth striae are not so 

 conspicuously developed, whilst the beaded ornament is wanting. 

 T. stamineus has the spiral ridges more pronounced, and the concen- 

 tric growth-lines are developed as strong threads. 



Occurrence. — Upper Beds at Muddy Creek and Grange Burn. 

 Holotype from the Dennant Collection (Upper Beds, Muddy Creek).
