Regenfuss be rejected as not consistently binomial, the name may 

 be cited as of Deshayes. 



I have taken this species at Murray Island. 



Thais armigera Dillwyn. 



Buccinum armigerum Dillwyn, Descrip. Cat. Rec. Shells, ii., 

 1817, p.612, for Chemn. Conch. Cab., xi., 1795, p.82, P1.187, figs. 

 1798,1799; Reeve, Conch. Icon., Purpura, 1846, PI. vi., tig.27; 

 Schmeltz, Mus. Godeff. Cat., v., 1874, p. 122; Shirley, Proc. Roy. 

 Soc. Queensland, xxiv., 1913, p. 56. 



Schmeltz records this species from Port Denison. In the 

 South Kensington Museum are two specimens collected by Prof. 

 J. B. Jukes on the reef of Raine Islet. 



Thais bufo Lamarck.

Deshaj^es considered that the figures of Kiener do not represent 

 this species. Examples answering to Reeve's figure have been 

 seen by me from Cape Cleveland and Port Curtis. Roth reported 

 it from Cape Grafton, Shirley from Yeppoon, and Schmeltz from 

 Port Denison.

Two species, figured and described, but polynomially named, 

 by Chemnitz have been confused together, and with others by 

 Lamarck, Blainville, Kiener, Reeve, and most writers on this
