Cylichna protumecla, Hedley; Mem. A. M., 1903, Van 

 Numerous in 40 fathoms off Schouten Island. These 

 shells have exactly the form of the type, but are quite 

 smooth, showing none of the fine revolving sculpture 

 which is typical. 



Pugnus parvus, Hedley; Rec. A. M., 1896. Five speci- 

 mens from 40 and 80 fathoms off Schouten Island add 

 this interesting little genus and species to our list. It has 

 a wide geographical range. 



Cavolina inflexa, Lesueur, 181 3. One specimen from 

 80 fathoms off Schouten Island adds another species to 

 our recorded hst of Pteropods. 



Atlanta, sp. indet. One example of this genus was 

 taken in 80 fathoms off Schouten Island, but is too im- 

 perfect for specific determination. This is the first record 

 for Tasmania of the class Heteropoda. 



Cuspidaria exarata, Verco; T.R.S., S.A., 1908. A pair 

 and several valves from 40 fathoms off Schouten Island. 

 This is an unusually large form, one of the valves measur- 

 ing over 30 mill, in length. 



Ectorisma granulata, Tate; T.R.S., S.A., 1892. Two 

 valves (a pair) taken by the trawler Endeavour in Storm 

 Bay in about 30 fathoms. Two separate valves in 40 

 fathoms off Schouten Island. 3.1r. Hedley (Rec. A. ,M., 

 VI.), says this is a Poromya, and the specific name is pre- 

 occupied in the genus, but it may possibly be identical 

 with P. lasvis (Smith), Challenger report. 



Thracia myodoroides, Smith, Challenger report, 1885. 

 One valve in 40 fathoms off Schouten Island. 



Myodora pandorseformis, Stutchbury. This species 

 has long been on our list, but seems to have been un- 

 known to local collectors. Many separate valves were 

 taken in 40 fathoms off Schouten Island. 



Dosinia histrio, Gmel., var. One valve occurred in 

 40 fathoms off Schouten Island. 



Cardium pulchellum, Reeve. A yellow variety; was 

 numerous in 40 fathoms oft" Schouten Island amongst 

 hundreds of specimens of the usual colour. This is one
