GO CATALOGUE OF MAHINE SHELLS OP 



Salitat.-^^l^e^ Caledonia. (Wright.) "Wreck Eeef, Coral Sea, off tlie 

 North Queensland Coast, outside the G-reat Barrier Reef" ; Chesterfield 

 Shoals and Island, and Bampton Eeef, West North West" from New 

 Caledonia. (J. Brazier, 1855, 1856.) (A.M.) 



These two sjiecies, M. Austral ien sis, A. Adams, and J/. Huttonice, AVright, 

 are classed by Mr. Tryon, who was only acquainted with these shells by 

 figures and not by specimens, in his Manual as mere varieties of M. adustus, 

 Lamarck. In this he is wrong, for they are certainly quite distinct from 

 that species, both as regards fronds, sculpture, and colour.
