Obs. — Mr. E. A. Smith records the fact that the type of this 

 species was presented to the British Museum by G. F. Angas, 

 and was collected at Bank's Strait, Tasmania, Mr. Hedley 

 (Mem. Aust. Mus., vol. iv., pt. 5, p. 313), in a footnote, suggests 

 that C. carnea, Tate, is probably a synonym of the above 

 species, which he regards as " unrecognised by local workers " ; 

 but judging by the treatment of C. avu-ora by Messrs. Tate and 

 May, the former apparently did not hold this opinion.
