Hah. Torquay, one specimen only, under a stone, at low tide. 



Obs. — ^Size of type : Length, 6 ; breadth, 2.5 nun. Our specimen 

 is larger, being length 8 ; breadth 3.3 mm. It may be separated 

 readily from our other species by its girdle Ijeing " covered with short 

 vellowish-white spicules " ; these are in addition to the sutural tufts. 

 Dr. Torr also only found the type specimen in South Australia : the 

 descri{)tion and figures of it are so excellent that there is no ditticulty 

 in recognising the species.

 Hah. — Western Port, Point Cook, I'ort I'hillip, 8 fathoms. 

 Obs. — Specimens from New South Wales and Victoria were submit- 

 ted by us to Mr. E. A. Smith, of the British Museum, for comparison 

 with the type, said to be in the Cuming collection ; he replied that 

 it was not to l)e found there. 



After again carefully perusing the original description, which is 

 somewhat meagre, and consulting with Mr. C. Uedley, of the Aus- 

 tralian Museum, Sydney, we have arrived at the above decision. 



Dr. J. C. Verco, of Adelaide, sent us a specimen of Ga,^trorliaena 

 tasinatiica, T. Woods, upon opening the tube of which we found it 

 to contain two complete specimens of the al)ove species.
