1856. — Mesodesnia triquctrum, Hanley. Cat. Rec. Biv. Shells, 



p. 341, pi. 12, f. 20. 

 1857. — Anapa triquetra, Hanley. H. and A. Adams, Genera, 



vol. ii., p. 415, pi. 106, f. 5, 5«. 



Obs. — This shell has been identified by many Australian 

 writers as a synonym of Crassatella cuneata, Lamarck, a figure 

 of the type of which is given by M. E. Lamy in Bulletin No. 4 

 of the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, igi2, p. 5 : it is there 

 classed as a Mesodesma, and is altogether different from A. 

 triquetra. It shows a pallial sinus; A. triquetra has none. 



Hemidonax australiense, Reeve. 



1844. — Cardium australiense. Reeve. Conch. Icon., vol. ii., 



pi. 5, f. 24. 

 1903. — Donax cardioides, Lamarck. Pritchard and Gatliff (not 



of Lamarck), P.R.S. Vic, vol. xvi., n.s., p. 119. 



Obs. — This is a distinct species from H. donaciforme, Schro., 

 of which Donax cardioides. Lam., is considered to be a synonym. 

 We have a typical specimen of the latter species, received from 

 Mr. G. B. Sowerby, London. It has stronger radial sculpture, 

 the umbos are more central, and the colouration is different. 

 We have not found it on our shores, our species being H. 

 australiense, although it is much smaller, and might be con- 

 sidered distinct. 



Tellina (Arcopagia) victoriae, nom. mut. 



1818. — Tellina decussata, Lamarck. Anim. S. Vert., vol. v., 



p. 352, not of Wood, 1815. 

 1846. — Tellina decussata, Lamarck (not of Wood). Sowerby, 



Thes. Conch., vol. i., p. 262, pi. 60 in text, pi. 62 on 



plate, f. 184. 

 IQ03. — Tellina decussata. Wood. Pritchard and Gatliff (not of 



Wood), P.R.S. Vic, vol. xvi., n.s., p. 117. 



Obs. — The shell found on our coast is not the Tellina 

 decussata of Wood, described and figured in his •' General 

 Conchology," p. 190, pi. 43, f. 2 and 3, pubhshed in 1815, but 

 it is Lamarck's species of the same name published in 1818. 

 We therefore re-name it as above. 



GoMPHiNA UNDULOSA, Lamarck. 



1818. — Venus undulosa, Lamarck. Anim. S. Vert., vol. v., 



p. 606, No. 85. 

 1903. — Chione undulosa, Lamarck. Pritchard and Gatliff, 



P.R.S. Vic, vol. xvi., n.s., p. 128. 

 1909. — Gomphina undulosa, Lamarck. Jukes-Browne, P. Mai. 



Soc Lond., vol. viii., pp. 233-237 and 244.
