Pythia yibbosa, Pfr., in Mon. Auric. Viven., p. 99, 1852, 

 " absque ulla indicatione " ; Pfr., in Brit. Mus. Cat. Auriculidre, 

 p. 75, 1857 ; Pfr., in Mon. Auriculaceorum, p. 343, 1876. 



No habitat of this supposed species has been recorded, and so 

 far as I can discover with the limited material at my disposal it 

 has never been described. 



19** Pythia hepatica, Pfeiffer. 



Pythia hepatica, Pfr., in Malak. Blatter p. 174, 1856 ; Pfr., in 

 Novitates Conckologicce, Vol. iii., p. 357, pi. lxxxiii. (not xxviii.) 

 fig. 7, 8; Pfr., in Mon. Auriculaceorum, p. 338, 1876. 



The habitat of this species was not known to Pfeiffer, but from 

 his minute and careful description of the species I have no doubt 

 it will soon be discovered. 



I may mention here that all the references to Pfeiffer's plates 

 of the Pythia in his Novitates Conchologicse in his last monograph 

 are incorrect. 



I venture to predict that this species is from the North-east 

 Coast of Australia. 



20* Pythia inflata, Pfeiffer.
