Like T. intermedia, this species was first erroneously ascribed 

 to the Philippine Islands. Angas recognised it from Port 

 Lincoln. I have seen it from Ulverstone, Tasmania; ISeptune 

 Islands, South Australia; and Geographe Bay, West Australia. 

 This distribution suggests that it will prove to be the Adelaidean 

 representative of the Peronian T. parmophoidea. Compared 

 with that, T. cicatricosa is more depressed, with the sides more 

 parallel; the apex nearer to the margin, is more notched ante- 

 riorly, and has a much coarser sculpture. A scar on the summit, 

 which suggested the name, was an individual and accidental 

 feature of the type-shell. It is by chance x'epeated in a specimen 

 before me, and was probably caused by adherence of a Caprdus 

 or some such associate. The specimen figured is 18 mm*. long, 

 and was collected in North Tasmania, by Miss M. Lodder. 



Tugalia bascauda, sp.tiov. 

 (Plate Hi., fig.47.) 



Shell small, solid, oblong. Colour milk-white. Surface glossy. 

 Sculpture : about 50 radial cords are crossed by 25 similar con- 

 centric cords, beaded at the points of intersection, and enclosing 

 deep, square pits as meshes. From the apex, a radial of double 

 breadth and height runs anteriorly along the median line. The 

 edge of the aperture is crenulated by the radials. Length, 12 

 breadth, 8; height, 3 mm. 



The specimen drawn (type) was collected by the late Mr, R. 

 Helms, under stones, near Wellington, New Zealand. I have 

 also seen specimens from the Chatham Islands, labelled Tugalia 

 elegans by Capt. F. W. Hutton. It is apparently the species 

 cited by Mr. Suter in the Manual of New Zealand Mollusca as
