Acanthochites spindosus, llocve. Mr. Sowcrby ' recorded " Chiton 

 spiculosus, Reeve," from Port Elizabeth, but it is omitted in his hiter 

 work. It is a West Indian species. 



Acanthochites Carpenter i, Pilsbry. Port Elizabeth (Pilsbry). 

 Described ^ from a series of drawings left by Dr. Carpenter — surely the 

 mania for desci-iption can no farth(;r go ! If the drawings are accurate, 

 and if they are taken from a South African shell, the species seems 

 diiferent from anj-thing else from the neighbourhood. The girdle is 

 large in proportion to the exposed portions of the shell, it is much 

 produced towards the head, and there are no sutural tufts, but pores 

 are present. 



Chiton olivacetis, Spi'uglcr. llecorded fi'om " Table liay. Cape of 

 Good Hope," under the name of Forma africana, by llochebrune.^ 

 His identifications are, however, so uncertain that I hesitate to follow 

 him. The reference of this foi'm to the present species is doidjtful 

 (Pilsbry).
