(1793) represent this species, but have never Ijefore been quoted 

 or identified. 



Voluta paUersonia, Perry (pi. xvii., f. 1), an extra-limital 

 species, is introduced to note that Deshayes apparently erred in 

 considering (An. s. Vert, ix., p. 402) this to be Cancellaria 

 reticulata, Linn. Brazier has stated (P.L.S.N.S.W. [2], ii., p. 996), 

 as I believe correctly, that this illustration represents F. nucleus, 

 Lamarck. As, however, Lamarck's preliminary description of 

 that species bears the same date (1811) as Perry's, there is no 

 need to disturb the accepted nomenclature. 



Cyprcea valentla, Perry (pi. xxiii., f. 2), is recognised by Gray 

 (Zool. Journ. iv., p. 68) as Cyprcea jyrinceps, Gray, 1824. This 

 species has occurred at Warrior Reef, Torres Straits. 



Bulimus carlnatus, Perry (pi. xxx., f. 1), has been recognised 

 by Pilsbry (Nautilus, xv., p. 8) as Cantharidus peronii, Philippi, 

 1846. Jay (Cat. Shells, 4th ed., 1852, p. 192) has wrongly 

 identified this as Bulimus zebra, Miiller. 



Bulimus eximius, Perry (pi. xxx., f. 2), has been recognised by 

 Pilsbry (Nautilus, xv., p. 8) as Cantharidus badius, Wood, 1856. 



Cassidea labiata, Peny (pi. xxxiv., f. 1), takes priority over 

 Cassis achatina, Lamarck, 1822. 



Mitra abbatis, Perry (pi. xxxix., ff. 2-3), was described by 

 Lamarck in the same year as M. pontificalis. The latter need 

 not be disturbed. 



Bulla ferruginosa, Perry (pi. xl., f. 2), is identified by Pilsbry 

 (Man. Conch, xv., p. 389) as equivalent to Hydatina albocincta, 

 Hoeven (1839), but he adds that its use is barred by the prior 

 Bulla ferruffinea, Gmelin (1790). 



A7'anea triremis, Perry (pi. xlv., f. 3), is recognised by Deshayes 

 (An. s. Vert, ix., p. 566) as Murex tenuispina, Lamarck, 1822. 



Pyrida undidatus, Perry (pi. liv,, f. 1), is Fusus pyridatus, 

 Reeve, 1847. 



Pyrida australasia, Perry (pi. liv., f. 4), is identified by 

 Deshayes (An. s. Vert, ix., p. 434) as Fasciolar'ia Jilamentosa,
