The following Paper was sent by Professor Blochmann to Dr. J. C. 

 Verco, of Adelaide, who translated it, and sent it to Mr. W. L. May, 

 by whom it is communicated to the Society. 



The specimens of Terebratula {Liothyrina) fulva and Argyrotheca 

 (Cistella) Mayi, described below, were taken by Mr. May on 26th 

 March, 1910, during a dredging trip of the Tasmanian Field Naturalists' 

 Club. {Sec Tasmanian Field Naturalists Club Report on Easter CanipOut, 

 1910, to Coles Bay, Freyc'met Peninsula, East Coast, Tasmania.) 



Dr. Verco, of Adelaide, who presented to me some time 

 ago a fine collection, of Australian Brachiopods, sent to me 

 at the beginning of this year a number af Brachiopods, 

 which were collected by Mr. W. L. May, of Forest Hill, 

 Sandfordi,, Tasimania, on the Tasmanian Coast. This 

 material, for which I on this occasion heartily thank both 

 these gentlemen, contains, besides two new species, com- 

 plete and well preserved examples of the species Tere- 

 bratula (Liothyrina) fulva, created by me in 1908, which 

 was known hitherto only by one single empty shell, obtain- 

 ed by the Challenger expedition from Twofold Bay, on the 

 South-East Coast of Australia. By means of the examples 

 now lying before me, the specific independence of this 

 Australian Terebratula, created by me, is quite certainly 

 established. I give now a complete description of this 

 species, and add thereto descriptions of the other two 

 new species.

 were danaaged before they reached the Society, und in consequence it has not 

 been possible to produce clear plates.
