Obs. — Brazier, in the Proceedings of the Linnean Society of 

 New South Wales, volume ix., n.s., p. 698, states that tiiis is "a 

 minute turbinated shell, white, with red diagonal flames, and 

 about one of the most common species we have. A large number 

 were sent to Mr. Angas afe far back as 1876, with other species; 

 about the time I named this in MS. I received sea-worn speci- 

 mens from Mr. Petterd ; having Mr. Beddome's types before me 

 the matter is now at rest." Tliat is, Brazier was satisfied to 

 drop his name and accept Beddome's. Professor Tate regards 

 Beddome's name as an orthographical blunder, and apparently 

 thinks it should have been spelt flammea. On. referring to 

 Beddome's paper, it may be readily noticed that there are 

 several printers' errors, apparently showing that the proof-sheets 

 were never corrected, and, in view of this, it seems very likely 

 that flammea may have been meant. If this be so, it is then 

 found that R. flammea has already been pre-occupied by Dunker 

 in 1866, and Professor Tate has proposed the new name of R. 

 beddomei. It seems to us, however, that if flamia cannot be 

 accepted as a name for this species, the name that should stand 

 would be R. sophiae, Brazier.
