SMITH: LIST OF SOUTH AFRICAN MARINE MOLLUSCA. 300 
South Africa who have sent specimens to him for identification. It is, 
therefore, entirely owing to his energy that the compilation of the 
present list has been possible. 
Besides the additional species which are catalogued, some criticisms 
are also offered respecting a few of the identifications i in Mr. Sowerby’s 
work, which may prove of some interest as clearing up points in 
nomenclature. 
Nine species are described as new. With regard to the range of the 
South African fauna, it should be stated that in the present list only 
those species are included which occur on the coasts of Cape Colony or 
Natal. The sequence of the genera, with the exception of Cavolinia, 
which is placed after Tornatina, is that adopted in Fischer’s ‘‘ Manuel 
de Conchyliologie.”
