I agree with Dr. Gray in uniting B. elongata with B. Australis, a 

 comparison of the descriptions and figures of the two species demonstrates 

 their entire identity.

 rugosje. ' ' — Cailliaud. 

 Hab.— Naples. 



I have strong doubts respecting the distinctness of this species from 

 B. a pert a. The shell is uniformly smaller, and the tube short, just ex- 

 tending beyond the surface of the masses of Balani in which it is imbedded. 

 Perhaps the young shell ofB. aperta? 



Brechites. 

 1. B. annulus,* Deshayes, sp.

 Brechites annulus, Gray, Zool. Proc. p. 312, 1858. 

 Description. — " B. testa valvis sublate ovatis, tumidiusculis : vagina elon- 

 gato-attenuata, undique undato-annulosa ; fimbria perampla, regulari, tubu- 

 lis longis, minimis, confertis ; disco valde convexo, perforationibus parvis, 

 numerosis, parum tubulosis." — Reeve. 

 Hab. — Singapore. 



This species may be distinguished from B. J a v a n u s and B. pulchrus 

 by the annular markings on its tube. The frill is much more regular than 

 in either of the other species.
