422 MOLLUSCA FROM THE HOPE ISLANDS, N. QUEENSLAND, 



MacGillivray collected on the Hope Islands, from which he- 

 records " a species of Quoyia."* 



Fifty years afterwards Prof. Agassiz's party found here two 

 new planarians.f 



Immediately south of Cairns Reef lies the Endeavour Reef,. 

 upon which -Captain Cook was M^recked. The only record of its 

 fauna I have seen, is a note by Solander in the Catalogue of the 

 Portland Museum, 1786, p.l90, nr.4039 : — "A very perfect speci- 

 men of Voluta imcijica Solandri^ brought by Capt, Cook, from the 

 Reef off Endeavour River on the Coast of New Holland."; But 

 since this species is confined to New Zealand, the record must 

 be a mistake. 



Many of the shells already reported from Mast Head Island of 

 course recurred here. Others which we took at or around Hope 

 Islands had previously been reported from North Queensland by 

 the '' Chevert," " Challenger," and other expeditions. To 

 economise space, I have not referred to these, but have restricted 

 attention to those either new to science, new to the region, of 

 intricate synonymy, or otherwise noteworthy. Altogether we 

 secured more than seven hundred species. As with the Mast 

 Head collection, many novelties remain undescribed. In the 

 present communication, one hundred species are discussed, half of 

 which are introduced as new to science. 



The collection described has been presented to the Australian 

 Museum.
