This paper contains descriptions of five neAv species of univalves 

 -and two new species of bivalves. 



EULIMA VICTORIAK, Sp. nov. (PI. XIV^ Fig. 1). 



Shell small, thin, rather attenuated, subcylindrical. opaque- 

 white, with a glossy surface. Whorls seven, commencing with a 

 large, blunt, dome-shaped apex ; the whorls are flatly convex, and 

 of fairly regular increase. Suture scarcely discernible. Aperture 

 ovate, pointed above. Labrum regularly curved, thin, and very 

 prominent about the centre. The labium resolves itself into a 

 rather broadly reverted lip. 



Dimensions of fype. — Length, 2.1; breadth, .6 mm. 



Locality. — Dredged off Wilson's Promontory. 



Observation. — The specific differentiation of this genus is one of 

 the most difficult to study, requiring patient investigation ; how- 

 ever, the cylindrical form and dome-shaped apex serve to dis- 

 tinguish the present shell from its Victorian congenors. The nearest 

 approach is perhaps E. fricata Hedley from Tasman Sea. Rec.

Lriostraca kilcundae, sp. nov. (Pi. XTV., Figs. 2 and 3). 



Shell minute, light-brown colour, smooth, shining, sufficiently 

 "transpai'eiit to view the axial-pillar. It is tipped with a distinctly 

 rounded doTue-sliaped apex. Following this are five flatly convex
