348 CENSUS OF THE MARINE MOLLUSCA OF TASMANIA, 



"Zoologie" of the "Voyage de 1' Astrolabe''"; they are as follows: — 

 Sij^honaria Diemenensis, Littori^ia Diemenerisis, Cerithium 

 Diemenense, Trochus constrictus, T. nanus, T. auratus, Chiton 

 glaucus, Venus nitida, Venerupis brevis, V. Diemenensis. As 

 these authors collected also at Port Western and Jervis Bay, 

 describing from those places many species, their descriptive work 

 should have a high value to Tasmanian conchologists. 



Philippi in " Abbild. Conch." (Vol. i.), figured Venus placida 

 n.sp., and Cytherea i^lanatella, Lamarck, and (Vol. iii.) Littorina 

 Diemenensis, Q. k G. (1844-47), but did not indicate the source 

 of his material. 



Swainson, who had obtained a high reputation as a S3^stematic 

 conchoJogist as well as a descriptive author, came to Tasmania 

 as an official in the Civil Service of the Colony, and during his 

 stay contributed two papers on Tasmanian Mollusca to the Pro- 

 ceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania for 1854. 



Mr. Ronald Gunn, Mr. W. Legrand and Dr. Milligan for- 

 warded species to the British Museum, London, which were dealt 

 with by Pteeve, Deshayes, Sowerby and Hanley in their respective 

 monographs, and also by Adams and Angas. 



A long interval then intervened till the Rev. Tenison-Woods 

 took up a temporary residence in Tasmania, and among other 

 natural history work communicated the following papers* dealing 

 with Tasmanian Conchology : — 



New Tasmanian Shells. Proc. R. Soc. Tasmania, 1876; 2nd 

 Series, loc. cit., 1877.
