Hab — A common e.stuarine shell all along the coast in the 

 sands and sandy muds of our river and creek mouths. 



Obs. — This shell used to be a rarity in the neighbourhood from 

 Port Melbourne to tiio Yarra mouth ; in January, 1899, only two 

 small specimens were obtained living after a careful search, but 

 at the present time it occurs there in the greatest abundance and 

 frequently of considerable dimensions.

 1901. Lutraria rhynchaena, Tate and May. P.L.S. 

 N.S.W., vol. xxvi., pt. 3, p. 424. 

 Hab. — Western Port, San Remo. 



Obs. — This shell has been confused with a European species 

 which is already extremely rich in synomyns, and its inclusion 

 therewith gives rise to considerable difficulties as well as being 

 an extremely doubtful proceeding. There is no doubt about our 

 shell being identical with Reeve's species, and that name should 

 therefore stand. 



Genus Zenatia, Gray, 1849.

Vic. U.S., vol. xvi., pt. 1, p. 92, pi. 15, f. 3. 

 Hab.— Port Albert (Mr. T. Worcester). 



Obs. — The type is in Mr. Gatliff's private collection. This 

 species differs from Zenatia acinaces, Quoy and Gaimard, by its
