LIMA BULLATA (Plate IX.).—Fig. 20 is a white shell, 
about one and a-half inches long, and found in the North Island. 
Both it and the Lima zelandica are rare shells. 
LIMA ZELANDICA (Plate IX.).—Fig. 21 (lately known as 
Lima squamosa and recently renamed Lima lima) is a beautiful 
white shell, with eighteen ribs. The spikes on the ribs are some- 
times tinted with brown. It is found at Whangaroa North, and 
has also been dredged up at Stewart’s Island. It attains a breadth 
of 23 inches. Although Lima lima is the latest name given this 
shell, I trust the name of Lima zelandica given it by Sowerby 
will be adhered to. It is quite as silly to duplicate the names 
of the family, to describe a species, as to have a kind of horse 
known as ‘‘horse horse.” Crepidula crepidula (Fig. 27) is a 
similar instance. 
SUB-EMARGINULA INTERMEDIA (Plate IX.).—Fig. 22 
(late Parmophorus intermedia) is a white limpet-like shell, covered 
with a thin brown epidermis. It is sometimes 14 inches long, the 
animal being like a large yellow slug. 
SCUTUM AMBIGUUM (Plate IX.).—Fig. 23 (late Parmo- 
phorus unguis) is a white shell, covered with a thin brown epi- 
dermis, and is sometimes over 24 inches long. The animal is like 
a big black slug, and, in comparison with the size of the slug, 
the shell is very small. A slug the size of a man’s fist would have 
a shell about an inch long. Most shell-hunters would pass by a 
Scutum abiguum, not thinking it had a shell embedded in its 
folds. The shell is found amongst rocks in sheltered places on 
ocean beaches. 
SIPHONARIA OBLIQUATA (Plate IX.).—Fig. 24 is like 
a brown limpet, about one and three-quarter inches long. On the 
right side is the siphonal groove, which is much more clearly 
defined in the Siphonaria australis (Fig. 25). The shell is found 
in Dunedin. 
SIPHONARIA AUSTRALIS (Plate IX.).—Fig. 25 is a 
brown or chestnut-coloured limpet, up to one inch in length. The 
siphonal groove can be seen on the upper side of the figure. The 
best specimens I have found were on the piles of Tauranga Wharf.
