New species of fossil shells from Table Cape

The following nine species here described were mostly collected by the late E. D. Atkinson, so widely known for his interest in the Table Cape fossils, and who probably did more collecting in these beds than any other worker. Shortly before his lamented death he placed most of these specimens in my hands for description, he being particularly desirous that the two large Turridae should be described and named. I have therefore felt it a duty devolving upon me to carry out my friend's wishes, to the best of my ability.
The five species of Marginella here described, together with the four already recorded, make up the goodly number of nine species of these interesting forms, and show that the genus was well represented in Tertiary times in our seas, as well as being so abundant in recent times. All the figures are drawn from the types, which will be presented to the Tasmanian Museum.
