REPORT ON THE GASTEROPODA.

Why Professor Hutton passes over this species in his Manual of New Zealand Mollusca without 

 any mention whatever does not appear. Both he in his earlier work, and v. Martens in his admi- 

 rable Critical List (for both see above), had quoted it as a New Zealand species. Its absence from 

 the latter and more complete work seems to imply doubt of its belonging to New Zealand at all.
