Pc-dipes foresticri (Montr.), Souverbie, 1864. J. de C. xii. pp. 41, 



261. PI. X, f. 1. D.F. 



An immature shell from the New Caledonian Archipelago, the 

 length of whose spire clearly separates it from Marinula, 



Auricula elongata (Parreyss), Kiister, 1845. Conch. Cab. p. 53. 



PL VIII (1844), f. 6. D.F. 



A Sandwich Island species placed by Kobelt, 1898, in Auricu- 

 las tr a. 



Pedipes affinis, Fer., 1821. Tabl. Syst. Moll. 3. p. 109 (or 113). D. 

 Correctly placed by its author in Pedipes. 



Laimodonta conica, Pease, 1862. P.Z.S. p. 242. D. 



Also correctly placed, but Laimodonta, Ads., being preoccupied, 

 has given place to Enterodonta, Sykes, 1894. 



Auricula pellucida, Cooper, 1841. Microscop. Journ. p. 16. D. 



This microscopic species has been shown by Hedley * to be a 

 Leuconopsis. Specimens of xanthostoma having been erroneously 

 circulated as pellucida gave rise to the misclassification. 



Auricula subula, Quoy & Gaimard, 1832. Voy. Astrolabe, ii. p. 171. 



PL XIII, f. 39, 40. D.F. 

 Probably correctly placed by Kobelt, 1898, in Auriculastra. 



Marinula rhoadsi, Pilsbry, 1910. Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., Ixii. 



p. 148, f. 1. D.F. 



A Californian species, differing from Marinula in its less convex 

 whorls and consequently more regular spire, while there is usually 

 a banding of colour round the shell. It is perhaps best placed in 

 Phytia. 



Conovulus triplicates and Auricula recluziana will b3 dealt with 

 later on. 



The names now remaining will be found to unite in a fairly 

 homogeneous group, comprising seven Antarctic species whose shells 

 all bear considerable resemblance to one another, and six, at least, 

 of which are typical representatives of King's genus. 



Taking them in geographical sequence from West to East, they 

 are : 



pepita, King ( = nigra (Phil.) Kiist., marinella, " King " and callao- 

 ensis (Petit) Ads.).
