Type locality. King George's Sound, Western Australia,

Tate regarded it as conspecific with .4. calamus, Crosse 

 and Fischer, and made this a synonym, but this is a mistake. 



Port MacDonnell, on rocks above low water.

Angas's type locality was Port Lincoln. I have dredged 

 several alive at seven fathoms in St. Vincent Gulf ; in Hard- 

 wicke Bay, three miles off shore ; and in Eastern Cove, Kan- 

 garoo Island, and collected it on the ocean beach. Kangaroo 

 Island, and at Normanviile. These have been identified from 

 Angas's types in the British Museum by me. 



Ten. -Woods, lor. cit., was doubtful if it would not be 

 found identical with A. -fiamm^ea, Quoy, and Pritchard and 

 Gatliff, loc, cit., record it as a synonym of Quoy's species: 

 but, aftor comparison with a large number and various forms 

 of this variable shell, I cannot recognize it as conspecific. 



(?) Acmaea punctata, Quoy and Gaimard.

The type locality is King George's Sound, Western Aus- 

 tralia. I have two shells dredged, of almost the same size, 

 6 mm. by 4 by 2-25, with the apex carried well forward, and 

 slightly antecurved, exceedingly finely closely radially striat- 

 ed under the lens, the base level, inner margin smooth. White 

 or yellowish externally, with two circles of li^ht-brown spots, 

 about 9 in a circle. Internally white ; one shows the spatula 

 distinctly in light brown. Quoy describes his shell as swonfJt, 

 and figures it with three rows of spots. 



It differs from a young .4. cala^nns, Crosse and Fischer, 

 in being less round, with it« apex more exceiitric and ante-
