concluded it was new. We are now constrained to regard it as 

 an abnormal form of L. blainvilleanus, and are indebted to Mr. 

 C. Hedley for the good work in his papers quoted in clearing 

 up the difficulties surrounding the genus. Since the publication 

 of his paper referred to, he has written to us stating that he 

 now considers L. separatista, Dillwyn, distinct from L. blainvil- 

 leanus, Petit, arnd remarks upon the curious distribution of 

 the species. He dredged it in 10 fathoms off the mouth of the 

 Bata,via River, Gulf of Carpentaria, and in 17-20 fathoms, off 

 Masthead Island, Capricorn Group, Queensland. Melvill and 

 Standen record it from Flinders' Entrance, near Mer, 20 fathoms, 

 but there is no record of its occurring in New South WaJes 

 or South Australia.

EULIMA INDISCKKTA, Tate. 



See part iv., p. 145. 



Obs. — Tate, when describing this species in 1898, draws atten 

 tion to the fact of E. petterdi. Beddome. being a close ally, and 

 reproduces Beddomes original description, showing points of 

 difference ; yet subsequently in Tate and May's Tasmanian 

 Census we find that E. petterdi, Beddome, though described in 

 1883, is subordinated to E. indiscreta, Tate, as a synonym. 

 This treatment appears somewhat perplexing.
