105 



860 species, is the fullest local marine molluscan fauna yet 

 enumerated from the tropical South-west Pacific. I was much 

 interested to find, during a few hours' search upon the Panie beach, 

 situated about 120 miles W.N.W. of the Loyalties, several of the 

 species which they mention. These are now first recorded from the 

 mainland, some of the more noteworthy finds being : Megerlia 

 sanguiaea, Chem. ; Ervillia sandivichensis, Smith ; Colnmbella 

 stephensij'M. & S.; Marginel/a elliptica,'Redhe\d; Rissoa ^jyvrhacme, 

 M. ife S. ; Schismope ferriezi, Crosse, and .S'. moreleti, Crosse ; 

 Barleia chasteri, M. & S.; Mar/gelia rhodacnie, M. & S.; Caecum 

 exile, Folin; Cadulus viviperidens, M. & S.; Minolia glaphyrellay 

 M. & S., which I cannot separate from Af. pudibunda, Fischer, 

 and Pyrgulina glii'iella, M. & S., which I have also seen from 

 Thursday Island, Queensland.
