CORALLIOPHILA, sp. 



Hab. — San Renio and Lome. 



Obs. — It was thought that this shell might be Rapana (Lati- 

 axis) nodosa, A. Adams and Angas, but we feel certain that it 

 cannot be that species. Shells sent to us from Port Jackson, 

 under the name of Rapana nodosa, differ from ours in many 

 respects, and it is even doubtful whether the Sydney shell has 

 been correctly named. If Tryon be consulted on the matter, he 

 does not clear up anything, but appears to be in a hopeless 

 muddle himself. It seems probable that our shell is a new species, 

 but want of sufficiently well-preserved specimens has debarred us 

 from describing it at present.

Obs. — Professor Tate and Mr. Adcock apparently regard 

 Triton nodiferus, Lamarck, or T. nodifer, Lamarck, as the same 

 shell as the above species as evidenced by the list of Aquatic 

 Mollusca of South Australia, and they also include T. saulia^. 

 Reeve, in the synonymy. In our opinion it is doubtful that 

 T. nodifer, Lam., and T. sauliaj. Reeve, are identical, and we
