348 " THETIS " SCIENTIFIC RESULTS. 



The "Thetis" took it off' Cape Three Points in 41-50 fathoms, 

 oif Botany Bay in 50-52 fathoms, ond off Port Kembla in 63-75 

 fathoms. It was dredged ly a Museum expedition in 1880 in 35 

 fathoms off Broughton Island, Port Stephens, and this j'ear by 

 myself in 100 fathoms sixteen miles east of Wollongong. 



TUKRITELLA PHILLIPENSIS, Watson, emend. 



Ttciritella philippensis, Watson, Chall. Eep., Zool., xv., 1886, 

 p. 479, pi. XXX., f. 1. 



Stations 13, 32. 



A few young shells from each locality are thus doubtfully 

 determined. The habitat of the type is written by Watson "Port 

 Philip, South Australia," meaning, of course, Port Phillip, Vic- 

 toria. The error is repeated in the derived specific name, which 

 I now correct. 



Off Cape Three Points, 41-50 fathoms, and off Cape Hawke, 

 10-12 fathoms. 



TUKRITELLA SINUATA, Eeeve. 



Turritella sinnata, Reeve, Conch. Icon., v., Turritella, 1849, 

 pi. xi., f. 62. 



Stations 28, 33, 49. 



In 22 fathoms off the Manning River, in 24-27 fathoms in the 

 north end of the Newcastle Bight, and in 63-75 fathoms off Port 

 Kembla. 



TURRITELLA SOPHIA, Brazier. 



Turritella incisa, Ten. Woods, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales, ii., 

 1878, p. 262 [not 2\ incisa, Reeve, Conch. Icon., v., Turritella, 

 1849, pL xi., f. 63]. 



T. sophice. Brazier {nom. mut.), Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales, viii., 



1883, p. 227. 



Station 28. 



The type of this species is preserved in the Australian Museum, 

 but appears to have suffered a fracture of the lip, losing thereby 

 the peculiar sinus, which is yet indicated by the curved growth 

 lines behind the lip. The "Thetis" procui-ed a second specimen, 

 of a deep claret colour, 12 mm. long, from which one or more 

 basal whorls have been broken away. This imperfect material is 

 insufficient for the desired comparison with T. occisa, Watson. 



Reeve's T. incisn, reported as taken by Strange in deep water 

 outside Sydney, has not been found again. 



Off the Manning River in 22 fathoms.
