By C. Hedley, E.L.S.

Among several microscopic shells taken by Mr. A. U. Heim 
on stones at low water in Little Manly Cove, near Sydney, one 
attracted our special attention. The finder gratified the writer 
by placing the novelty in his hands for study, and on learning 
the result thereof has generously presented to the Australian 
Museum the most perfect of the three specimens obtained, which 
constitutes the subject of the present communication. 
The long narrow aperture was contrasted in turn with every 
involute shell figured in Pilsbry’s Monograph of the Order* with-
