STUDIES ON AUSTRALIAN MOLLUSCA. 

 Part V.

(Plate xxxiv.) 



Daphnella Tasmanica, T. Woods. 



A confusion between D. tasmanica, T. Woods (P.R.S.Tas. 1877, 

 p. 138) and Oithara tasmanica, T, Woods (P.R.S.Tas., 1875, p.l45) 

 caused me to erroneously state (these Proceedings, 1900, p. 725) 

 that Pritchard & Gatliff had united Mangilia jacksonensis with 

 the former, whereas it was with the latter that they have correctly 

 identified it. 



Amauropsis moerchi, Adams & Angas. 



(Plate xxxiv., figs. 19, 20.) 



In the first part of these . Studies, I gave a figure of what I 

 believed to be this species, but which I now withdraw. My 

 identification was, as Dr, Dall, Prof. Tate and other correspondents 

 pointed out to me, a generic error. Mr. Brazier has since fur- 

 nished me with two examples of A. moerchi, one from a point four 

 miles north of Ballina, N.S.W., the other from Double Bay, 

 Sydney Harbour. The Ballina specimen, represented in my 

 figure, though slightly broken, is 11 mm. long. From the Sydney 

 shell I have derived the operculum (fig. 20), and by its help have 

 slightly "-restored " the shell. 



MuREX PLANiLiRATUS, Reeve. 

 Reeve, Conch. Icon, iii., Murex, pi. xxxi., sp. 149, 1845. 

 In my opinion the species described by Brazier as Murex poly- 

 pleurus"^ should be reduced to a synonym of this. Apparently
