3IO MARINE SHELIjS OF TAISMJANIA. 



Cyclostrema jaffaensis, Verco; T.R.S., S.A., 1909. One 

 perfect shell from 80 fathoms off Schouten Island adds 

 this fine and peculiar form to our list. The type was from 

 90 fathoms off Cape Jaffa, South Australia. 



Cyclostrema denselaminata, Verco; T.R.S., S.A., 1907. 

 Several from various stations off Schouten Island. It 

 varies considerably, some examples being fairlv typical. 



Gena terminalis, Verco; T.R.S., vS.A., 1905. One ex- 

 ample from 40 fathoms off Schouten Island. 



Emarglnuia superba, Hedley; Rec. Aus. Mus., Vol. 

 VI. Taken in 40 fathoms off Schouten Island. Several 

 specimens, the largest being 27 mill, in length by 21 mill, 

 broad, and is thus larger than the type which was taken 

 in 300 fathoms off Sydney. This fine species, one of the 

 largest known, was included in the Cape Pillar moUusca 

 (P.L.S., N.S.W., 1908). Owing to a mistaken identifica- 

 tion, the species then taken for it, is not uncommon in 

 deep water, and is so far unidentified, liavino; a strong 

 resemblance to E. tenuicostata, Sowerby. 



Puncturella demissa, Hedley; Rec. A. M., 1904. 

 Several specimens from 15 fathoms Geography Strait. 

 This species ranges to New Zealand. 



Lepidopluerus inquinatus, Reeve, Conch. Icon. The 

 type in British Museum is assigned to Tasmania. It was 

 not, so far as I know, in any local collection until taken 

 recently by myself in 10 fathoms off Pilot Station, where 

 about a dozen examples occurred. 



Chiton quoyi, Desh., An. Sans. Vert., VIL Taken 

 tmder stones at Bellerive Bluff, February 12th, 1910. This 

 New Zealand species was included by Tenison-Woods in 

 his Census, under its synonym of C. glaucus (Gray), but 

 without giving habitat or any remarks, and for want of 

 confirmation it was omitted by Tate and May in their re- 

 vision. It is now satisfactorily reinstated. It is curious 

 that its habitat should be so restricted as it appears to be. 

 Such a conspicuous form would not easily be overlooked; 

 possibly it has been introduced on imported New Zealand 

 oysters. 



Act^eon retusus, Verco; T.R.S., S.A., 1907. One ex- 

 ample from 40 fathoms off Schouten Island.
