COCCULINELLA TASMANICA, Sp. IIOV. 



Shell small, white, thin, smooth, narrowly oval, 

 pyramidal, apex subcentral, margin much raised at each 

 end. There is no sculpture, except faint growth lines. 



Length, 5: breadth, 2.G ; height, 2 mill. 



Tvpe, with a number of others, from forty to seventy 

 fathoms along the East Coast. 



This species is a near ally of C. comprexm, Suter, 

 from New Zealand, and C. oercitd, Hcdley, from New^ 

 South Wales. It is neaicr the former, which is rather 

 narrower, higher, and has line radial sculpture. The latter 

 is nai'rower, flatter, and has an almost flat base. Prob- 

 ably they are local forms of one variable species, in which 

 perhaps some peculiarity in their place of attachment has 

 determined the form of the base ; straight in one case, 

 much cui'ved in the othei-s. 



All the specimens taken have been "dead" shells, but 

 there a,re indications that in life they would be glassy and 

 semi-transparent.

EuLiM.A. APiiELES, Tenison Woods. 



Described in these proceedings for 1878, p. 40. 



The tvpe was missing for many years, but was lately 

 discovered, having been mislaid in the Tasmanian 

 Museum. I here present a figure from the type, which is 

 i^o marked by the author. I consider it to be an absolute 

 synonym of E it lima aiti/ur, Angas.

EuLiMA MARGiNATA, Tenisou Woods. 



Described with the last and also recovered with it, and 

 marked as tvpe by the author. This specimen I have also 

 figured. It is given by Tate and Mav, P.L. Soc, New 

 South Wales, for 1901, p. 381, as a prior name for 

 Sfi/lifer hxhlercr. Petterd. This identification was in- 

 correct. It is a true Eu/inui, and I believe it to be only a 

 s-hort, stumny form of the variable E. aufjur, Angas.

CoMiNELLA LiNEOLATA, Lamarck. 



This is a verv common mollusc on most parts of our 

 toast, and varies much in size, form, and colom*. On the
