Art. XXXVI. — Notes on some New Zealand Marine Molluscs.

These unconnected notes are presented in their present un- 

 finished state for the sole reason that I will be, myself, unable 

 to further my studies in connection with them in the near 

 future. They relate chiefly to Chitons, limpets, and Acmceas, 

 which have been my favourites whilst collecting. Notes refer- 

 ring to other species are here incorporated on account of interest 

 attaching to them. I hope by publishing these fragmentary 

 articles to draw attention to the molluscs noticed, and thereby 

 get the problems propounded solved. 



I intend further investigating some of the South Island 

 queries, but would like to see those which also relate to the 

 North Island taken up by the conchologists resident in the 

 North Island. 



Ischnochiton fulvus, Suter. 

 Ischnochiton fulvus, Suter, Journ. Malac, vol. xii, p. 66, 1905. 



That the Ischnochitons of the South Island of New Zealand 

 have been neglected by collectors this species would apparently 

 prove : that this is due to the variation in colour of /. longi- 

 cymba, Q. and Gr., is certain. I first met with this species as a 

 red-brown shell dredged in shallow water in Purau Bay, Lyttel- 

 ton Harbour. I then found a pure-white shell at Sandfly Bay. 

 Otago Peninsula.
