ADDITIONS TO THE TASMANIA MOLLUSCAN 

 FAUNA. (PL. VI.). 



By W. L. May. 



(Read 14th September, 1908.) 



Since the publication of Tate and May's Revised 

 Census, in 1901, a considerable number of species new 

 to the Tasmanian molluscan fauna have become known 

 to me, and I think it is well to place the names on re- 

 cord. I also offer observations on several species, and 

 take the opportunity to describe and figure what appear 

 to be three species new to science. This paper does not 

 in any way refer to the large mass of new material lately 

 dredged off Cape Pillar by C. Hedley and myself. 



List of new records, with habitat and remarks : — 



FASCINUS TYPICUS (Hedley).— One juvenile ex- 

 ample taken on the beach at Pirate Bav, and identi- 

 fied by the author, Coll. W. L. M. 



MARGINELLA ANGASI (Brazier).— This has long 

 been known to local collectors, but has been con- 

 fused with M. simsoni (Tate and May). If I have 

 rightly identified the species, then M. halli (Prit. 

 and Gat.) is a synonym. 



TEREBRA INCONSPICUA (Prit. and Gatliff).— One 

 specimen. Storm Bay, 23 fathoms. 



CLATHURELLA BICOLOR (Angas).— Not uncom- 

 mon in Frederick Henry Bay. 



TARANIS EDWINI (Brazier), Clathurella.— One 

 specimen. Very similar to T. minuta (T. W.) in 

 general appearance, but distinguished by its punc- 

 tate pullus, which in minuta is spirally lirate. 

 Daphnella mimica (Sowb.) is a synonym of the 

 latter.
