Ohs. — Mr. Brazier, in his paper on four of Dr. Gray's species 

 above quoted, deals very fully with this species, pointing out 

 many of the erroneous figures and localities given by various 

 authors. Mr. Watson in his Challenger report includes Bulla 

 quoyi, A. Adams, as a synonym of the above, but with this we 

 cannot agree, for our own examination of New Zealand examples 

 of that species, received from and identified by Mr. H. Suter, 

 lead us to conclude that it is a good species. 



In the Manual of Conchology there appears to be some con- 

 fusion in the treatment of this species, for although all the 

 figures on plate 35 are given as Bulla australis in the reference 

 to the plate, yet we note that figures 15, 16, 19, 20 are referred 

 to in the text as Bulla adamsi, Menke. We are more inclined to 

 agree with the latter reading.
