 Hal). — Very common in all the rocky pools along the Vic- 

 torian coast. 



Obs. — There has been considerable confusion about this 

 species and its fusiform varieties. We are however only able to 

 recognise one species of this genus up to the present. In 

 Sowerby's Thesaurus conchyliorum the shell figured on plate 427, 

 figure 31, is stated to be a copy of Kiener's figure of the type in 

 the French Museum. This shell we do not appear to have. On 

 plate 424, figure 4, however, a shell is figured as F. fusiformis as 

 identified by Reeve, and is in the British Museum. This form 

 we can obtain, but it is rare and seems to be a dwarfed form of 

 F. coronata, Lamarck. This shell is also figured in Tryon's 

 Manual of Conchology on plate 61, figure 18. In addition Tryon 

 figures a shell under the name of F. fusiformis, Val., on plate 61, 

 figure 19, which is but a variation of F. coronata, Lamarck. 



Genus Latirus, Montfort, 1810. 



Latirus clarkei, T. Woods.

 1893. Peristernia clarkei, Adcock. Cat. Mar. Shells 

 S.A., p. 4. 

 Hab.— Port Phillip Bay, Western Port. 



Obs. — The characters of this shell do not seem to exactly 

 warrant its location in the genus Peristernia. Pending further 

 investigation it may perhaps be convenient to refer to it as 

 above.
