LucAPiNELLA pRiTCHARDi, Hedley. 



1895. Lucapinella pritcharcH, Hedley. P.R.S. Vic, vol. 

 vii., n.s., pp. 198, 199, pi. 11, f. 3-7, shell, 

 auimal and radula. 



Hab. — Port Phillip ; Western Port, alive under rocks at 

 ■extreme low tide ; Kilcunda and Anderson's Inlet (W. H. 

 Ferguson). 



Obs. — Professor Tate states, in a paper entitled " Critical 

 Remarks on some Australian Mollusca," in the Transactions of 

 the Royal Society of South Australia, 1897, Vol. XXI., p. 43, 

 that he regards this species as synonymic with F. nigrita, an 

 •opinion with which we cannot agree, for Hedley's shell is 

 consistently more elongate, apart from other distinctive features. 

 In the recent " Revised Census of the Marine Mollusca of 

 Tasmania," by Tate and May, 1901, the above is, however, not 

 included as a synonym of F. nigrita. 



Mr. Hedley, in the course of correspondence, has stated that 

 lie thinks this species may be F. oblonga, Menke, Moll. Nov. 

 Holl., p. 33, No. 181 ; but, on the other hand, in Professor Tate's 

 paper in the Linnaean Society of New South Wales, Vol. VI., 

 p. 401, on Menke's Australian Shells, that author republishes 

 Menke's original description and appends a note that F. oblonga 

 is probably F. scutella. Gray.
