DISTRIBUTION OF LITTLE-KNOWN MOLLUSCA 



FROM POLYNESIA AND AUSTRALIA, 



WITH THEIR SYNONYMS. 



By John Brazier, F.L.S., C.M.Z.S. 



I. EuLiMA Hargravesi, Brazier. 



Eulima porcellana, H. Adams (non A. Adams), Proc. Zool. See. 

 London, 1872, p. 15, pi. in. fig. 29. 



Hab. — New Hebrides ( W. H. Hargraves) ; Whale Island, 

 Aneiteum, New Hebrides, in beach debris (J. Brazier, August, 

 1865). 



Mr. A. Adams in Proc. Zool. Soc. London, p. 276, No. 3, 1851, 

 described a Eulima under the specific name of porcellana, and 

 figured it in his Monograph of the genus in Sowerby's Thesaurus 

 Conchyliorum, Vol. iii. p. 797, pi. clxviii. fig. 25. Mr. G. W. 

 Tryon in his Manual of Conchology, Vol. vii., on Eulimidce, 1886, 

 appears to have overlooked the species described by H. Adams ; 

 the species is quite distinct as regards size and sculpture ; 

 name changed as above. 



2. Chlorostoma (Omphalius) Pfefferi, Dohrn. 



Omphalins Pfefferi, Dohrn, Malakozoologische Blatter, p. 56, No. 2, 



1864. 

 Chlorostoma Pfeifferi, Pilsbry (non Philippi), Tryon's Manual of 



Conchology, Vol. xi. 1889, p. 189, pi. lxi. figs. 28, 29. 

 Chlorosto7na Dohrni, Pilsbry, I.e. p. 469. 



Hah. — New Hebrides (H. Dohrn) ; Anelecauhat Harbour, 

 Aneiteum, New Hebrides, found on rocks and under stones at 

 low water (Brazier, 1865) ; Aneiteum (Capto.in Braithwaite ). 



I do not see that there is any occasion for Mr. Pilsbry to change 

 the specific name to Dohrni, when Dohrn spells the name Pfefferi 

 and Pilsbry Pfeifferi. Dr. Philippi described a Trochus Pj'eifferi 

 from Japan. W^ith the above species I also found Monodonta
