176 THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE LINNEAN SOCIETY 



Portland Bay, Western Victoria, after a slight storm. I have 

 often seen it on the N. S. Wales coast, and it has been dredged 

 in Bass' Straits at 30 fathoms. There is a specimen in the 

 Sydney Museum which measures 150 mil. in length. 



Note. — Just as the foregoing sheets were being printed, I have been enabled to compare 

 my new species of Eveckinus (E. australice,) with a good series of the New Zealand 

 E. chloroticus. The differences are that my species are smaller, higher, hexagonal, the 

 secondary tubercles in the I. spaces fewer, the spaces themselves becoming bare near the 

 abactinal region. The outer and inner pairs of pores are a vertical series. I must, however, 

 candidly admit that as far as my experience goes, the aforesaid differences may be a young 

 stage of E. chloroticus. In any case I may add that specimens recently seen enable me to 

 claim an Australian habitat for the latter.
