Sp. Ohar. Shell depressetl, composed of three or four whorls ; base flat ; body- 
whorl large, expanded, the two upper whorls (in our specimen) distorted ; umbilicus not 
seen; shape of aperture doubtful ; no shell structure left. {Etheridge ) 
Ohs. I can scarcely detect any difference between the form and habit of this 
shell and those of Pleurofomnria carinata, Sby. Its size is greater ; but unfortunately 
the loss of the outer shell prevents our seeing the band or slit at the edge of the whorl, 
in the absence of which it might be referred to Raphistoma or Rlatyschisma ; it is not, 
how'ever, sufficiently depressed to be referred to the former genua. {Etheridge.) 
If this shell is correctly referred to J. do C. Sowerby’s Pleurotomaria, it must be 
Very much distorted, for the species in question does not possess the obliquity of the 
Queensland shell, nor is the band on the body-whorl so sharp and prominent. From 
the condition of the specimen, as represented by the figure, it is impossible to say 
to which section of the large genus Pleurotomaria — whether Ptychomphalus, Agassiz, 
or Moxt/rlonia, De Koniuck — it should be referred.

Ohs. To this species is referred an internal east, with the whole of the test 
removed. It is about two inches in height, with four whorls remaining, but on the 
whole it appears to be a rather more inflated form than the type figured by the late 
I^rofessor Morris. The band is but very faintly preserved on the fore part of the 
body- whorl. 
The specimen is much too high a shell for Plalyschisma rotunda, Etheridge, 
although generally like it. The whorls are rounder, and there is an entire absence of 
angulation. 
An internal cast of four or more whorls of a roundly whorled shell, without 
any distinctive character, or angulation of the spiral, but possessing a distinct and well- 
Wiarked band, has been collected in the Burnett District, and may be the present species. 
There is a moderately large umbilicus. 
Loc. and Horizon. Blenavon, near Eockhampton {The late James Smith) ; 
Sandstone, near Yarrol Station, Burnett {W. H. Rands) — Gympie Beds. 
MoUELO^flA ? CONIEOEMIS, sp. UOV., PI. 41, fig. 5. 
Sp. Char. Shell elongately conical, six to seven whorls, each somewhat convex 
^bove the band, which is sutural and straight-sided; body-whorl, mouth, &c., not pre- 
served. Ornament consists of strong spiral cost®, distinct from one another, crossed 
oblique and finer lines, giving rise to a coarse reticulation.
