 Victorian Brachiopoda.

It was with much pleasure that, while searching under the 

 stones, rendered accessible by low tide at Williamstown, for 

 some of the gastropods usually obtained there, I found large 

 numbers of the small bi'achiopod, Kraussina lamarckiana, 

 Davidson. This was in the summer of 1884, and I have 

 usually met with numerous examples in each summer visit 

 to the locality. I am not aware of the species being recorded 

 before as Victorian, but whether or not, have thought it 

 would be of interest to members, to learn of the existence of 

 a species of brachiopod in considerable numbers, in a part of 

 Port Phillip so near to Melbourne. 



It will be convenient here, to give a census of the species 

 hitherto recorded from Victorian seas. All belong to the 

 division denonflinated Clistenterata, by King.
