recently received three specimens from New Caledonia, and if 

 mixed iq) with my Port Jackson and Torres Straits examples they 

 could not be separated. M. Mousson described a Neritina 

 pulcherrima in the Journ de Conch., 1857, p. 164, from Menado, 

 in the Island of Celebes, but it is in no way related to iV.

Of this very rare species I obtained one fine living specimen some 

 time ago. During the winter gale of 1868 Mr. Hargraves 

 procured specimens at Lake Macquarie. When living the animal 

 ejects a fine violet blue liquid that stains the shell for many 

 months ; the animal of Scalaria Australis, does the same. The 

 Pev. Mr. Tenison-AVoods quotes aS'. granulosa from Bass's Straits 

 only ; it appears strange that this shell should only be quoted 

 from there when it was found by Messrs. Quoy and Gaimard and 

 Mr. G. Angas, in other parts of Australia. It is very rare at the 

 present time in Australian and European Cabinets.
