Three separate valves of this species were found. It has 

 hitherto only been known as a Pliocene fossil. I am indebted 

 to Mr. Murdoch for the identification. 



Thyasira flexuosa, Montagu. 

 Tel Una flexuosa, Montagu, Test. Brit., 1803, p. 72. Lucina 



flexuosa, Woodward's Manual, pi. xix, f. 7. 



A few separate valves were obtained. The species has not 

 before been reported from New Zealand, but Mr. Suter informs 

 me that it was noted as Gryptodon sp. bv Captain Hutton in 

 the Cat. Mar. Moll. N.Z., 1873, p. 75, and that it is in the 

 Colonial Museum from Waikanae Beach. 



In the selection of the generic name I have followed Dr. 

 Dall (Trans. Wagner Free Inst., iii, 1903, p. 1335).

This species was represented by numerous separate valves. 

 It has also occurred to us in 100 fathoms outside Port 

 Chalmers, and was taken by Mr. A. Hamilton in Foveaux 

 Strait. It has not yet been recognised by local workers. The 

 individual illustrated is 19 mm. high and 2T mm. long. 



This opportunity is taken of adding that Kellya suborbi- 

 cularis, Montagu, should replace Kellya cycladiformis, Desh., 

 of the Index Faun. Nov. -Zealand., p. 91. 



Erycina parva, Deshayes. 

 Kellia parva, Desh., Pro. Zool. Soc, 1855, p. 182. Id.,

The species appears to be more common in New Zealand 

 than in Australia. Mr. R. Murdoch suggested their identity 

 to me. Comparing the few separate valves by which the 

 species is known in Australia, I find that the New Zealand 

 specimens are larger, being 36rnm. in length and 2-27 mm. in
