A. mammilata, Hinds, and A. albo-callosa, Lischke, are 

 synonyms. Specimens I collected near Timaru and Sumner 

 were kindly named by Professor W. H. Dall. My largest speci- 

 men has an altitude of 30 mm. According to Tryon the habitat 

 of the species includes Japan, China, Malacca, and Madagascar.

 p. 44, pi. vi, fig. 15. 



Specimens were found in the Manukau Harbour by Mr. 



C. Spencer and the Rev. Mr. Webster, and I also not unfre- 

 quently came across the species in the Hauraki Gulf. The 

 specimens from the latter locality exactly correspond with 

 a small form found in the Pliocene near Waikopiro

Daphnella cancellata, Hutton (1878). 



D. cancellata, Hutton, Journ. de Conch., vol. xxvi, 1878, p. 18 ; 

 Man. N.Z. Moll, 1880, p. 45. D. lymneiformis, Hutton, 

 Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., vol. x, 1885, p. 118 ; Suter, Trans. 

 N.Z. Inst,, vol. xxxiv, 1902, p. 211 : Index Faunae N.Z., 

 1904, p. 71 (not of Kiener). 



I have never seen D. lymneiformis, Kiener. but Mr. Hed- 

 ley informs me that our sh<>!l is not Kiener's species, and we 

 have therefore to hill back on Hutton's name. 



Hab. — The type is from Auckland. I have also specimens 

 Erom Stewart Island, which are much smaller — length, 7*5 mm. 

 Type in the Otago Museum, Dunedin.
