RECORDS OF THE AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM. 



Tasmania. Others are in the collection from Griffith Point (type 

 of M. brevijyes) and Port Phillip, Victoria ; St. Vincent Gulf, 

 South Australia; and near Albany, West Australia. Miers 

 ("Alert") has noted that there are specimens in the British 

 Museum from Port Curtis, Queensland, while in the "Challen- 

 ger" Report he has added Bass Strait and King George Sound

to the. list of localities. Kinahan's type waa dredged in 15 

 fathoms, Port Phillip, while lie also referred to others in the 

 British Museum which were said to he collected by Macgillivray 

 in Torres Strait. These last are not noticed by Miers unless 

 they be the Bass Strait specimens he mentions. At any rate, 

 I think the Port Curtis ami Torres Strait localities need verifi- 

 cation.
