NiTcuLAifA, sp. ind., PL 14, fig. 17. 
Ols. A small specimen of a very inequilateral Nuculana represented by 
an external impression, after the type of AL leiorhynchus, McCoy,* and Nucula 
lirostrata, McCoy.-f It possesses a snout-like posterior end. The anterior was moderately 
long, the umbonal region a good deal canted over to the posterior side, and high. The 
posterior end is sharply pointed, with a strong posterior angle, and the body of the 
shell delicately striate. It is absolutely impossible to distinguish between the present 
shell and an undetermined Carboniferous Nuculana figured by Messrs. Meek and 
Worthenbut not described. J Our specimen corresponds in every particular, even to 
size, and although the material is too little to found a species on, I would beg to suggest 
that in the event of further specimens showing the Queensland shell constant, that it 
and the American species be called Nuculana Wortheni.

SoiiEMTA EDETiFELTI, sp. HOV., PI. 14, fig. 16. 
8p. Ohar. Shell narrow-oblong, length two and a quarter inches. Ilinge-line 
Hot as long as the shell, a little angulated on the anterior side; beaks about one-third 
from the anterior end, apparently a little depressed. Anterior end small ; posterior 
6nd elongated, possibly compressed ; posterior slope small, and but slightly marked ; 
posterior margin obliquely truncate. Surface with a large number of sharp, strong, 
radiating ribs, distributed over the whole, with a few transverse corrugations. 
Ols. This fine species is a worthy addition to the limited number of Bolemym 
known, and is named in compliment to the Collector. 
In case it should at first sight be taken either for Lleuropliorus costatus, Morris, 
Hr P. Morrisii, De Eon., it may be at once distinguished by having the w'hole surface 
radiate.
