A CHECK-LIST OF THE MARINE FAUNA OF NEW SOUTH WALES, 

 PART I. MOLLUSCA. By Charles Hedley. (Suppl. Jour. Royal 

 Soc. N. S. W., Vol. 51, 120 pp., 1917. Issued June, 1918.) 

 A very useful and interesting paper. The list by T. Whitelegge, 

 of Port Jackson invertebrata, published in 1889, contained 802 

 marine mollusca. The present catalogue contains over 1200 

 species. The list has been purified notably by eliminating a 

 block of Atlantic species included by mistake in the Challenger 

 series of 410 fathoms off Sydney. The author estimates that 

 future research will recognize 2000 species from the waters of 

 this State. The nomenclature is up to date and one notes many 

 changes, and in the position of certain families some surprises. 

 The following new genera are proposed: Attenuata, Austrodrilla , 

 Eptdeira, Etrema, Exomilus, Guraleus, Inquisitor, Hemidaphne, 

 Macteola, NepotiUa, Provexilhim and Scabrella. C. W. J.
