THE MOLLUSCA—HEDLEY. 461 
SistRUM TUBERCULATUM, Blainville. 
Tryon, Joc. cit., p. 186, pl. lvii., figs. 218, 220. 
‘Abundant in rock pools on the outer reef of Funafuti. 
According to Tryon this inhabits Hawaii. Schmeltz mentions 
Rockhampton (Queensland), Samoa and Fiji. In this Museum it 
is shown from New Caledonia and Lord Howe Island. 
SistRUM CANCELLATUM, Qwoy. 
Tryon, loc. cit., p. 188, pl. Iviii., figs. 242, 250. 
Common in the rock pools of Funafuti. 
Tryon mentions this from Hawaii ; Schmeltz gives Fiji, Raro- 
tonga, and Tahiti. A specimen from Fanning Island is contained 
in this Museum. 
SIsTRUM FISCELLUM, Chemnitz. 
Tryon, loc. cit., p. 188, pl. lviii., figs. 251 — 257. 
Not uncommon on the Funafuti beaches. 
Examples from Teste Island, Louisiades, New Caledonia, and 
Hawaii are preserved in this Museum. 
CoRALLIOPHILA CoroNATA, Barclay. 
Tryon, loc. cit., p. 210, pl. Ixvi., figs. 372, 373. 
One worn specimen was gathered on the beach of Funafuti. 
Melvill and Standen, who reccived this from Lifu, were the 
first to record it from the Pacific. 
GALEROPSIS MADREPORARUM, Sowerby. 
Tryon, Joc. cit., p. 212, pl. Ixvii., figs. 389 — 391, 398; Pease, Am. 
Journ. Conch. iv., 1868, p. 112. . 
Purpura porphyroleuca, Crosse, Journ. de Conch. xix., 1871, p. 
322, pl. xiii., fig. 7- . 
This species was found alive at Funafuti in crevices of living 
coral, particularly Willepora. 
Quoy and Gaimard report this from Tonga, Marie from Tahiti, 
Gould from Wake Island and Samoa, and Melvill and Standen 
from Lifu. It is also shown in this Museum from New Caledonia, 
Hawaii, and Vate, New Hebrides. 
The description above quoted by Crosse corresponds so 
well to Sowerby’s, that his name may safely be reduced to 
synonomy. 
Maaitus antiquus, Lamarck. 
Tryon, loc. cit., p. 216, pl. Ixviii., figs. 400-411. 
Two young shells were obtained alive in company with the 
Galeropsis just mentioned. Tryon’s remark “ that all the species 
that have been differentiated from M. antiqguus must be regarded 
with suspicion,” has guided my determination. Nothing seems to 
be recorded of the distribution of this species in the Central Pacific. 
A specimen from the Solomon Islands is in this Museum.
