The present instalment of our work on the Lifu Mollusca con- 

 tains a second list of the species observed up to the present 

 time. For convenience we have arranged the families in the 

 same order as in our previous catalogue {antea pp. 84-132), and 

 we have included in the enumeration the new species described 

 by us {antea pp. 273-315, 379-381). These are referred to by 

 the letters "M. & S.,"with an indication of the pages where the 

 original diagnosis will be found.
