corresponding with the sinus running from the anterior margin to the apex. 
Height 5 mm., diameters 19 mm. and 11 mm, 
Loc.: Abattoirs Bore, holotype, Adelaidean, 
Remarks: This species is quite distinet from the Recent 7. cicatricosa Adams 
1851 originally described from South Australia. The fossil is an elevated shell 
without the cicatrix at the top and more like the large 1’. parmaphoidea Quoy aud 
Garmand 1824, Recent, N.S.W. The only other Tugalia described from the 
Adelaidean is 7. infortwnatum Ludbrook, a minute species. 
GEENA INCOLA sp. noy.

nearly hidden; aperture very large; columella margin concave, simple, a little 
reflected ; outer lip convex, simple and thin. Height 3 mm., diameters 10 mm. 
and 16 mm. 
Loe.: Salisbury Bore, 330 feet, holotype, Adelaidean, Tate Museum, 
Remarks: Smaller and differently shaped from either the Recent G. auricula 
Lamarek 1816 of Sonthern Australia or @. impertusa Burrows 1815=G. strigasa 
Adams 1851 of New South Wales or @ wgra Quoy and Gainard 1834, of

nodulose spirals; aperture round, columella simple. Height 16 mm,, diameter

Loe.: Salisbury Bore, 350 fect, holotype Adelaidean, Tate Museum. 
Remarks: This remarkable species may belong to the monotypic genus Nijia 
Gray 1850, the genotype of which is the V. cwmingi Philippi from the Philippines 
and also taken in Queensland, ‘‘Caloundra’’ aecording to specimens in the South 
Australian Museum and also in Western Australia, The Tertiary fossil here
