Zeidora tasmanica, Beddome. 



Beddome, Proc. Roy. Soc. Tas. 1882 [1883], p. J 69. 



In the note quoted under the preceding species, Mr. Henn 

 published the first occurrence of this species in our waters. I 

 can again confirm his discovery, having taken a young specimen 

 in sand in a cleft of the cliffs a mile south of the South Head 



Lighthouse. Mr. H. L. Kesteven has shown me a specimen 

 which he collected at Botany Head As the species has never 

 been figured, and as my example is too young to use, I have 

 derived an illustration from an authentic Tasmanian example, 

 kindly lent me by Miss Lodder. 



Professor Tate recognised the occurrence of this genus in South 

 A ustralia in a species probably conspecific with the Tasmanian 

 (Trans. Roy. Soc. S.A. xviii. 1894, p. 118). A strict comparison 

 between specimens yet remains to be instituted.

I have lately taken several examples of this species upon 

 Balmoral Beach. The identification is based upon comparison
