Obs. — At the reference above quoted Dr. Verco considers our 

 species as being the same as Pectunculus pectinoides, Deshayes. 

 Cuvier Regn. Anini. (Fortin and Masson's illustrated edition), 

 Mollusques, pi. 87, f. 8. There is no copy of this work in South 

 Australia, but our Museum Library possesses one — it does not 

 bear the date of publication — to which we have referred. Judg- 

 ing from it, we are unable to agree with our species being the 

 same as P. pectinoides, Deshayes. The shell there figured has 

 radiating ribs all curving to the posterior side. In our shell 

 they radiate almost equally from the centre of the umbones to 

 either side. Chenu 's figure does not quite represent the shell 

 as we find it, but Dr. Verco states that it cannot be distinguished 

 from a half-erown example as found by him in South Australia. 

 "When consulting Chenu's work we were unable to tind any date 

 to it.
