CoTrTron—SoOME TERTIARY Fossit MOLLUuUSCcS 669 
CALLITRIPHORA gen, Nov, 
Genotype: Triforis wilkinsom Tenison Woods 1879. 
Shell elongate, pyramidal, turretted, thick, small, polished, with twelve 
sloping convex whorls, girdled with four lines of granules ; suture slightly canalicu- 
late; protoconch three whorls; smooth and rounded; aperture quadrate, base 
flattened, with one groove and radiately striate ; canal short. 
Distribution: Miocene Pliocene, 
Remarks : The holotype specimen of C. wilkinsoni comes from Muddy Creek 
(Lower Bed). The shell is more turretted than Recent Australian species and 
the protoconeh is unique in having three smooth whorls. The fossil occurs in the 
Adelaidean. 
CoTronia HANNAFORDI (McCoy). 
Voluta hannafordi McCoy. Prod. Pal, Viet., Dee. 1, 28, pl. 6, fig. 1. 
This species originally described from the Lower Beds of Muddy Creek, was 
found in the Miocene below the Adelaidean in some bores. Other species belong- 
ing to the genus are the Tertiary C. validicostata Tate= C. alticosiula Tate, 
t. stephensi Johnson and C, heptagonalis Tate. Recent species are C. dannevigt 
Vereo (genotype) and (. nodiplicata Cox. <A closely-allied volute is the Recent 
Mamillana mamilla Gray or False Melon Shell. These remarks are made here 
because the genus Livonia, strictly confined to a West Atlantic area, has been used 
jn connection with some of those Australian shells, with which it has relation 
whatever. Livonia Gray 1858, is a synonym of Aurina H. and A- Adams 1893, 
having the same genotype Voluta dubia Broderip 128, a species of doubtful 
standing. Maxwell Smith 1942, designated wring dohrni dohrni Sowerby of 
Florida, as genotype. Other synonyms of Aurina are Maculopeplum Dall 1906, 
and Volutifusus Conrad 1862, none of which have any similarity with the 
Australian Recent and Tertiary species which belong to Cottonia.

species belonging to the genus are veronts Cotton, perplicata Hedley, Tertiary
