As Puncturella henniana:
Shell small, white, obliquely conical, apex curved, smooth, surface ornamented with thirteen slender radiating ribs not so distinct towards the apex ; interstices smooth, finely striated under a higher power ; fissure elongately ovate, narrow, pointed behind; septum triangular, slightly inclined forward under the fissure ; margins crenulated at the edge and showing inside the radiating ribs.
Long 2,5 broad 1,75 , alt. 1,5 mm Two specimens.
This is the first record of the genus Puncturella from New South Wales, although numerous specimens were sent to Mr. Angas some years ago, obtained by me in dredging off Green Point (J. B.).
