The following 2 Suez species appear to be common to 



Japan, Natal, E. or S. Australia, and the Sandwich 

 Islands : —

Taking together the two northern and the two southern of 

 these localities we arrive at a result which, as we should 

 expect, indicates a closer connexion between S. Africa and 

 S. Australia than between Japan and the Sandwich Islands j 

 thus : — 



The following 10 Suez species are common to Natal and 

 S. Australia : —

* Tryon, in bis 'Manual of Concbology,' vol. iii., gives, on what autho- 

 rity I do not know, New Zealand as a locality for Triton tritonis. It does 

 not occur in Hutton's admirable list of the shells of New Zealand.
