 3) Mollusca from the Hope Islands, North Queensland. By C. Hedley, 

 F.L.S. — An account was given, in a former volume, of studies on the coral- 

 reef fauna of Queensland, made by a party at Mast Head Reef. In continuation 

 of these investigations, the writer organised another party to examine the 

 reefs several degrees further north. The exact position selected was close to 

 the scene of Capt. Cook's misfortunes in the "Endeavour"'. A week's work 

 dredging and shore-collecting provided a series of about seven hundred 

 mollusks. Of these, one hundred of the more interesting are discussed in 

 the present communication, about half of which are introduced as new species. 

 The novelties are distributed among the genera Chlamys^ Cuna, Bochefortia, 

 Sportella, Phacoides, Gafrarium, Ghione, Tellina,, Arcopagia, Semele, Theora, 

 Liotia, Cyclostrema, Obtortio, Triphora, Cerithiopsis, Epitonium, Vermicidaria, 

 Odostomia, Turboiiilla, Glypiiosioma, Eulima, Marginella, Mangilia, Nassaria 

 and Retusa, They are fully illustrated in nine plates.
