Obs, — The trouble surrouiidinG: this species has been appa- 

 rently due to its misidentificatinn in South Australia (T.R.S. 

 S.A., vol. xxi., pt. 1, 1897, p. 48) as the name of radians was 

 there applied to P. striatularis. We believe that Reeve is cor- 

 rect in his determination of Lamarck's P. radians, and that his 

 P. obliquus is really the synonym of P. striatularis, thnuorh 

 perhaps a more oblique variety, but this variation is well illus- 

 trated by the series of specimens examined by us.
