Gibbula reedi Verco 1907 (not Gibbula fesserula Tenison- 
Woods, an immature Clilorodiloma adelaidae Philippi). Solid, 
depressed conoid; chestnut-brown, with dark brown spiral hair- 
lines of varying width, dotted with tiny white spots, which, be- 
low the suture, are aggregated into small pyramidal blotches 
with the : ? apex upward, six in the body whorl; a white band en- 
circles rhe periphery; an articulated white-la nd-brpwn spiral 
borders the umbilicus, a second lies just outside this and an- 
other with more distant double white spots beyond; the rest of 
the base which is of a lighter tint than the dorsum, has scattered 
Gibbida reedi Verco x 6 (after Pulleine) 
tmy white dots; umbilicus white, over all is a transparent glaze, 
with a bronze reflex; dorsum smooth except for very fine accre- 
mental scratchings; base with about a dozen fine spiral incisions, 
with radial scratch-marks which are stouter and wrinkling within 
and near the umbilicus; and an inconspicuous lira borders the 
umbilicus, which has a shallow groove just above it; whorls four, 
smooth, flatly convex, slightly hollowed just below the suture 
which is impressed; periphery round, barely angulate; base con- 
vex; umbilicus moderate; aperture oblique, roundly elliptical; 
•outer lip simple, bevelled inside; columella arcuate, everted pos- 
teriorly, with a tiny notch where it joins the round basal lip at 
the end of the bordering lira of the umbilicus; throat smooth 
and iridescent. Height 3 diam. 6.2 mm. Beach, Holdfast Bay 
(Type locality), also Corny Point, Levens’ Beach, Edithburgh. 
Not common. (Holotype Reg. No. D 9543 S.A. Mus.). A lit- 
toral species. Verco did not dredge it. There may be a faint 
gutter where the labrum joins the body whorl; the colour may 
be dark brown; the peripheral white band may fade out toward 
the aperture; the white blotches beneath the suture and the art- 
iculated bands around the perforation seem the most constant 
ornament. Named after Mr. Walter Reed, a keen South Aus- 
tralian collector who dredged in S.A. as far back as 1896. 
Gibbula corallina sp. nov. “The Coral-red Gibbula.” 
Shell turbinate, depressed, umbilicate; coral-red above, base 
creamy white; whorls rounded, periphery angulated; sculptured
