Catalogue of Marhie Shells of Victoria. 67 



Mactra pura, Deshfiyes. 



See part vii., pp. 105, 106. 



Obs. — Actual Victorian specimens of this species have been 

 compared with Deshayes type in the British Museum by Mr. E. 

 A. Smith and one of us, and there is no doubt whatever about 

 their identity.

Vic, vol. xvi.. p. 123. 



1904. Chione nitida, Hedley. P.L.S. N.S.W., p. 194. 

 Obs.— We are quite in agi-eement with Mr. Hedley in his 



treatment of this species, and the fact of its having been pre- 

 viously overlooked is easily understood, now that he has called 

 attention to the wrong numbering of the figures, and the shell 

 is depicted in such a way as to lead one to consider it as being 

 concentrically ridged, whereas it is concentrically banded, and 

 specimens thus coloured are rarely met with here, as the radial 

 colouration is usually more conspicuous, and frequently all dark 

 markings are absent or only discernible about umbones.
