120 ‘* ENDEAVOUR” SCIENTIFIC RESULTS. 
hand are quite so large, comparison with them fails to reveal 
a single character by which this specimen can be distin- 
guished from them. It is hard to believe that a Japanese 
species, not yet known from the East Indies or northern 
Australia, should occur in Shoalhaven Bight, New South 
Wales, but this specimen seems to prove it. There is no 
chance for a misplaced label, for in this case the metal 
number is not only wired on to the test, but the wire is firmly 
rusted in! I have tried to convince myself that the specimen 
is an aberrant example of C. australasie, but if that is the 
case the characters by which species in the genus are at 
present separated, are simply worthless, and we might as 
well call all Australian and all Japanese Clypeasters by a 
single name! I have also tried to find at least one character 
which would serve to distinguish this Australian specimen 
from the Japanese species, but I have not succeeded, and I 
am therefore obliged to record it as C. virescens. 
Loc.—Shoalhaven Bight, New South Wales, 15-45 fathoms. 
Family LAGANIDAE. 
Genus PERONELLA, Gray. 
PERONELLA LESUEURI (Agassiz).

These are notably large individuals, and it is a pity that 
there is no record of either the locality or the depth. The 
largest one is 137 mm. long, 124 mm. wide, and only 12 mm. 
high ; the petaloid area is nearly .60 of test length, but the 
marginal thickness of the test is less than .03 of the length! 
The smallest specimen is 100mm. long. There is little 
diversity in shape; the narrowest specimen has the width 
.86 of the length, while in the widest it is .96. 
Loc.—Off the coast of Queensland. Nineteen specimens. 
Family FIBULARIID. 
Genus Ecurnocyamus, Leske. 
ECHINOCYAMUS PLATYTATUS, A. L. Clark. 
Echinocyamus platytatus, H. L. Clark, Mem. Mus. Comp. 
Zool. Harvard, xlvi., 1914, p. 63. 
There is no doubt of the genus of these small pieces, but 
the reference to #. platytatus involves more uncertainty. I 
think it safe, however, to consider them that Victorian 
species. 
Loc.—Between Devonport and Launceston, Tasmania.
