In this paper we have added 28 more species to the catalogue, 

 including two new genera, Verticordia and Poroleda. The total 

 number catalogued is now 1080. 



Th§ paper includes seven species of the genus Marginella. The 

 Marginellidae of Victoria and Tasmania have hitherto proved a 

 difficult group, but through the close attention bestowed on them 

 by Mr. W. L. May, of Tasmania, man}^ of the difficulties, presented 

 from time to time, have been satisfactorily elucidated. Our work 

 on the group has Ijeen greatly facilitated by the gift of numerous 

 typical examples of Mr,. May's Tasmanian species. Favoured with 

 this assistance we have been able to critically compare our Victorian 

 forms, and, consequently, augment the list as above.. With a 

 record of 38 species, the genus Marginella is well represented in the 

 waters of Victoria.
