CUCULLAEA PRAELONGA SINGLETON, 
Cucullaea corioensis praclonga Singleton 1932. Proc. Roy Soc., Vie., N.S. 44 (2), 
308, pl. 26, fig. 20a, b. 
The holotype is from Forsyth’s, Grange Burn, near Hamilton, Victoria, 
Lower Pliocene, Kalimnan. Specimens are common in the Adelaidean, and appear 
to be this species, rather than C. corioensis, Singleton 1932 remarked that C_ prae- 
longa may grow to over 100 mm. in length, I have seen fragments of the 
Adelaidean shell suggesting even larger specimens than this, Cucullaea corioensis 
MeCoy 1876 from Bird Rock Cliffs, near Spring Creek, Torquay, Janjukian, does 
not appear to survive beyond the Baleombian. Cucullaea adelaidensis Tate 1886 
is still another species decribed from the Glauconitic Sands, Adelaide Bore, 
Aldinga, 
Famity GLYCYMERIDAE. 
Chapman and Smgleton 1925, Proc. Roy, Soe. Vict., 18-60, pl. 1-4, revised 
the Tertiary Fossil Glycymeris. There are some thirty Reeent and twenty 
Cainozoie species which may now be placed in their proper genera. The genotype 
of Glycymeris Da Costa 1778 is the Reeeut Arca glycymeris Linne, from the 
coasts of Britain and it is a large, almost smooth but transversely and longitudinally 
finely striate species ornamented with angular red spots. There is also a Glycymeris 
Schumacher 1817, a synonym of Saxicava. Pectunculus Lamarek 1799, used by 
continental authors of the past, is mavailable for this family, there being a pre- 
vious Pectunculus Da Costa 1778 related to Dosinia. Australian Tertiary fossils 
may be grouped as follows:
