296 STUDIES ON AUSTRALIAN MOLLUSCA, xi., 



Eulima piperita Hedley, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, xxxiv., 

 1909, p. 451, PL xliii., fig. 85. 



Types in the British Museum of L. constellata appeared to rne 

 like the species I described from the Hope Islands, and now record 

 from Mast Head Reef and Caloundra. Not trusting to my memory 

 for the identification, I afterwards sent specimens for comparison 

 to its author. Conjointly, Mr. J. C. Melvill and Mr. E. A. Smith 

 compared the Queensland piperita with the Aden constellata and 

 the Philippine piperita. The Australian shells are rather smaller 

 than the others, but my friends pronounce the three to be identical. 

 The repetition of the second and third synonyms is a coincidence. 



Stilifer marginata Tenison- Woods. 



Eulima marginata Ten.-Woods, Proc. Roy. Soc. Tasm., 1878, 

 (1879), p. 40.

 Hedley, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, xxv., 1900, p. 92, text-figure. 



Stylifer crotaphis Watson, Chall. Zool., xv., 1886, p. 525, PI. 37, 

 fig. 10. 



In the British Museum is a single specimen, evidently the type 

 but not so marked, of Stilifer crotaphis Watson. This I recognised 

 as a young specimen of the previously described S. marginata Ten. 

 Woods. 



Dr. Boog Watson was unfortunately possessed by a zealous but 

 mistaken anxiety to exhaust his material. He was thus led here 

 and elsewhere to found, on immature, imperfect and single speci- 

 mens, species already named, such as Alaba sulcata for S trombus 

 campbelli; Trochus tinctus for Calliostoma allporti; Turritella 

 phillipensis for Turritella gunni; and Murex cordismei for Murex 

 angasi. 



Stilifer guentheri Angas.
