for the guidance of conchologists Cooke's species may be figured 

 and rehabilitated. 



Lima bassii, Tenison Woods. 

 (Plate ix., fig. 28.) 



Several odd valves of a Lima were dredged by Mr. G. H. 

 Halligan and self in 100 fathoms, 16 miles east of Wollongong. 

 At first I regarded it as new, but Mr. F. C. Grant, to whom the 

 fossil is familiar, identified it for me. On comparing Teitiary 

 examples determined by Prof. Tate with our shell, the only 

 difierence apparent to me is that the Wollongong specimens, 

 which are probabl}' not full grown, are smaller. Another instance 

 is thus added of survivals from the Miocene epoch. My figure 

 is taken from the New South Whales shell. 



Tenison Woods described* the species from the Table Cape 

 beds. It was figured by Prof. Tate,t who afterwards J enumerated 

 the localities in which it has occurred. Hutton has united it,^ 

 with his L. colorata^ from which Harris|| separates it. 



Lima alata, Hedley. 



While on the subject of Lima, I may add L. alata to the Aus- 

 tralian fauna, on the strength of a single valve which I gathered 

 on the beach of Fitzroy Island, North Queensland, in August, 

 1901. The species was originally described^ from Santa Cruz. 



CucuLL^A coNCAMERA, Bruguiere. 



Some imperfect valves which I collected in November, 1898, 

 en the beach at Cape Byron, enable me to add this species to the 

 fauna of New South Wales. North of this point it extends along 

 the whole Queensland coast to Torres Straits, where it was found
