By A. Adams,* T. elegans was wrongly referred to North 

 Africa, and subsequent authors have mostly lost sight of the 

 name. 



The specimen figured is 29 mm, long, and was collected by 

 Mr. H. Hill, at Wellington, New Zealand.

This shell was, by Quoy & Gaimard, reported from New 

 Holland. Their account suits a species from New South Wales, 

 with which their name has been generally associated. But the 

 name has also been applied to other members of the genus. 



Angas misidentified the Sydney Tugalia as T. ossea Gould, a 

 species of another genus. Detecting this error, and probably 

 associating ?'. parTUophoidea with the New Zealand form, Tenison- 

 Woods proceeded to rename the Sydney shell as T. australis. 



T. parmophoidea inhabits the coast of South Queensland and 

 New South Wales, but fails, so Mr. W. L. May tells me, to reach 

 Tasmania. A statement by Angas, that it occurs in South Aus- 

 tralia, seems to need confirmation. The specimen figured is 

 27 mm. long, and was collected by myself at Cape Byron, N. S. 

 Wales.
