272 STUDIES ON AUSTRALIAN MOLLUSCA, xi., 



Tellina ticaonica Deshayes. 



This name was entered in Australian lists by An gas, who stated* 

 that it was "Dredged at Lane Cove/' Sydney Harbour. In the 

 British Museum are the specimens presented by Angas, on which 

 this record was based. I find that these are not T. ticaonica Des- 

 hayes, but that they are T. brazieri Sowerby. The real T. ticaonica, 

 by comparison of types, is larger, the dorsal and ventral margins 

 more nearly parallel, and the shorter side more produced. Tellina 

 ticaonica is unknown from Australia, and, therefore, to be ex- 

 punged from our list. 



Tellina recurva Deshayes. 



Tellina recurva Deshayes, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1854 (1855), p. 361. 



After special search, I failed to find this un figured Australian 

 species in the British Museum. It is recommended that the name 

 be treated as lost and unrecognisable. 



Tellina quoyi Deshayes. 



Tellina quoyi Deshayes, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1856, p. 130; Id., 

 Sowerby, Conch. Icon., xvii., 1868, PL liii., fig. 314. 



In literature, the locality given is merely "N. Australia." But 

 two specimens in the British Museum, probably types though not 

 so marked, are labelled "quoyi, Desh., Cape York, Jukes." An- 

 other tablet carries a note that quoyi is a synonym of T. lata Quoy 

 and Gaimard (not T. lata Gmelin), and that both should be sub- 

 ordinated to T. chloroleuca Lamarck. Under the latter name are 

 examples gathered by Jukes at Darnley Island. Mr. Sowerby told 

 me that his father had accidentally transposed, in the Thesaurus, 

 the figures of T. chloroleuca and of T. sowerbyi Hanley. 



Strigella sincera Hanley.
