Marginella columnaria, Hedley and May. 



Marginella columnaria, Hed. and May. Rec. Austr. Mus., 

 p. 120, pi. 23, f . 19. 

 Hab. — Taken off cable to Tasmania, Bass Strait. 

 Obs. — Size of type : Length 7.5, breadth 3.5 mm. Shell white, 

 sub-cylindrical, triplicate. 



Marginella pulchella, Kiener. 



1830. Marginella pulchella, Kr. Coq. Viv., p. 27, pi. 9, f. 

 41 (not 40, as in text). 



1911. Marginella fulgurata, Hed. Zool. Commonwealth 



trawler Endeavour, v. I., p. 110, pi. 7, fig. 31 

 only. 



Hab. — Portland. 



Obs. — This species has many axial undulating lines; these are 

 tliickened centrally, and near to each end, giving the appearance 

 of encircling bands. 



We also have the species from N.S. Wales, South Austr., and 

 West Austr., and it has been sent to us from those States with 

 the name of M. sagittata, Hinds, which species it resembles; we 

 have the latter from Bahama Isls. 



M^ARGINELLA GEMINATA, Hedley. 



1903. Marginella laevigata, Hed., not of Braz. Mem. 

 Aust. Mus., V. IV., p. 364, f. 89. 



1912. Marginella geminata, Hed. Rec. Aust. Mus., v. 



VHI., p. 145, pi. 42, f. 28. 



Hab. — Dredged in 7-8 fathoms. Western Port. 



Obs. — Mr. Hedley states he mistakenly figured another shell as 

 being M. laevigata, and later he described it as M. geminata. The 

 earlier figure represents the shell we find, the later figure is prob- 

 ably drawn from an immature specimen. Mr. Hedley kindly 

 sent us for examination and return co-types of the two species; 

 they are very similar. 



Family PYRENIDAE, replaces Columbellidae. 



This change is necessary owing to Pyrene, Bolten 1798, being 

 prior to Columbella, Lamarck 1799. Pyrene being a montypical 

 genus represented by P. rhombiferum, Bolt., a new name he gave 

 to Bxiccinum punctatum, Bruguiere 1789, and to the figure of
