1001. Barbatia carpenteri, Tate and May. P.L.S. 

 N.S.W., vol. xxvi., pt. 3, p. 436. 



Hab. — Common in Port Phillip and prenerally distributed 

 along the coast. 



Obs. — It is evident that Messrs. Tate and May have become 

 confused over Area trapezia, Deshayes, and Area trapezina, 

 Lamarck ; the latter is recorded from King Island by its 

 author, and, judging from his description and from Delessert^s 

 figure, it is closely allied to Barbatia fasciata, Reeve, but al- 

 though we have a big series showing much diversity of form 

 and distortion, we cannot match Lamarck's species. Reeve gives 

 a good figure of the normal form of our shell, and we fail to 

 recognise two species as indicated by the Challenger Report. 

 The type of A. fasciata. Reeve, is given as habitat unknown, 

 and is in the Cuming Collection in the British Museum.
