3.54 RIIIPIDOGLOSSATE AND DOCOGLOSSATE MOLLUSCA OF N.Z., 



EEVISION OF THE RECENT RHIPIDOGLOSSATE AND 

 DOCOGLOSSATE MOLLUSCA OF NEW ZEALAND. 



By Professor F. W. Hutton, F.G.S. 



Order. Rhipidoglossa. 



Family. Nebitldje.* 



Genus. Nebita. Linne. 



Nerita saturata. Hutton (1884) ; N. atrata (variety of) 

 Chemnitz, Conch. Cab. V., p. 296; N. atrata, Lamarck, 

 Anim. sans. Vert., VIII., p. 603, Reeve Conch. Icon., 

 fig. 16 [not of Chemnitz] ; N. nigra, Gray in Dieffenbach's 

 New Zealand, ii., p. 240 (184-3) [not of Lamarck]. 

 Habitat. — Bay of Islands to Wellington. Found also in 

 Australia and Tasmania. 



Shell finely spirally grooved ; blue-black, or occasionally olive 

 black ; columella white. 



I cannot agree with Dr. von Martens and Mr. Tenison- Woods 

 that this shell is identical with N. punctata (Quoy and Gaimard). 

 N. punctata, according to Quoy, is from the Mauritius, and is 

 probably the same as N. nigra of Lamarck. It is not from 

 Australia, as stated by Dr. von Martens ; nor from South 

 America, as stated by Mr. Tenison- Woods in the Pro. Roy. Soc, 

 Tasmania, 1877, p. 38, 



Family. Tubbuxe. \
