Clathurella denseplicata, Dunker. 



Pleurotoma {Drillia) denseplicata^ Dunker, Mai. Bliitt. xviii., 

 1871, p. 159: WeinkaiifF, Conch. Cab. Bd. iv., Abth. 3, 1887, 

 p. 107, pi. 23, ff. 7, 9. 



This species, collected in Bass Straits by a correspondent of 

 the Godeffroy Museum, and of which the type is probably in the 

 Hamburg Museum, has apparently been overlooked by Australian 

 conchologists. From the figure and description I judge this 

 species to be identical with Clathurella philomence^ Ten. Woods, 

 over which it has priority. 



CocHLODESMA ANGASi, Crosse ct Fisclier. 



On a beach near the house of my friend, Mr. W. L. Mav, I 

 saw for the first time a living animal of this species. The 

 siphons are not protected by a sheath like those of Anatina, and 

 can be wholly retracted within the valves. These characters 

 accord better with Cochlodesma than with Anatina, to which 

 Angas (P.Z.S., 1865, p. 644) erroneously transferred it. 



Arc A. ZEBRA, Swainson. 

 Swainson, Zool. Illustrat 2nd Ser. iii., 1833, pi. 118. 



An example of this shell from Sydney Harbour has l)een 

 handed to me by the Hon. J. Norton, M.L.C. This species has 

 not to my knowledge been recorded from the coast of New South 

 Wales. Dr. Norton's discovery was confirmed by Mr. H. L. 

 Kesteven, who again collected it at the Inner South Head. 



Philobrya crexatulifera, Tate. 



Tate, Trans. Roy. Soc. S.A. xv., 1892, p. 131, pi. i., if. 11, Ua. 



This species has not been seen so far north as this State. I 

 can now announce that I found it in a cleft of the cliffs a mile 

 south of the South Head Lighthouse, where I took Zidora lodder(H, 

 Tate ife May, Sirius badius, T. Woods, Ccecum aniputatum, Hedley, 

 and other rarities. During her recent visit to Sydney Miss 

 Lodder also collected P. crenatulifera at Long Bay.
