At the Car g ados or St. Brandon 'fehoals, north of Mauritius, 

 Valuta costata, Conus verrucosus, Fleurotoma virgo, and TurUnella 

 Belcheri have been obtained by dredging. 



Collections of marine shells have been made at Madagascar 

 and the Mascarene Islands by Sganzin, and at the Seychelles by 

 Dufo. The number obtained at the latter place was 263, of 

 which 220 were univalves. Two of the univalves, viz., Dolium 

 galea and Cyprcea helvola, and two of the bivalves, are found in 

 the Mediterranean. 



IX. Australo-Zelandic Province. 



Most remote from the Celtic seas, this province is also most 

 unlike them in its fauna, containing many genera wholly un- 

 known in Europe, either living or fossil, and some which occur 

 fossil in rocks of a remote period. The province includes Now 

 Zealand, Tasmania, and extra-tropical Australia, from Sandy 

 Capo, on the east, to the Swan Eiver. The shells, which are 

 nearly all peculiar, have been catalogued by Gray,* Menke,t 

 and Forbes. t Of the following genera some are peculiar (*), 

 others attain here their greatest development : —
