 idenliiieatioii. Blochmann [ I 90<i and I'.MIS] has clearly demonstrated that it is not 

 /,. uva, Imt a new species, to which he has given the specific; name fn/ni. The same 

 form has since been obtained alive oil' the East Coast of Tasmania, in 40 fathoms 

 (T.lochmann, 1914, pp. 112-11."., pi. x.]. In the construction of the lirachidium, and 

 from the fact that certain important spicules are absent from the liases of the cirri, this 

 species resembles the L. rif/r/t series, /.<-., it belongs to the true Liothyrinae and not to 

 the genus Liotln/rclln recently created by Thomson [19 in, p. 44] for the reception of 

 L. urn and some others. Some remarks on the validity of this new genus have been 

 published by me in the G<'iJn</!<-n/ M<t</a:ini> for February, ID 18 (pp. 73-79). 



Hedley [1902, p. 2S'.l] gives Coogee Bay and Botany Bay (both near Sydney) as 

 localities for L. m;i. but here again an error of determination was made, the specimens 

 being Terebratulina r/int'rllufn, Koch [/''/<' Blochmann, 1912]. 



Hedley 's later record [190f>, p. 43] of L. urn from 11 1 fathoms. East Cape Byron, 

 Australia, may be founded on a similar error. 



Blochmann [1908, p. GK'i] gives a, most interesting record of L. urn at "Tahiti." 

 The specimen is in the Berlin Museum under that locality. That it is L. uirt there 

 does not appear to be the slightest doubt; but the locality is open to question. 

 Further researches in that part of the world would be very welcome. 



No L!nf/i>/r!ii<i or Linf/it/irlfn has been recorded for New Zealand until quite 

 recently, when a single juvenile example was met with in Foveaux Strait [Thomson. 

 1915 (2). p. 408]. Unfortunately the specimen is too small for specific determination. 

 Thomson also writes me (February, 1917) that he is shortly describing a new species, 

 under Liothyrella, from Cook Strait.

According to Davidson [1887, p. 88] this species is very abundant in Cook's
