Royal Society. At its monthly meetings the species named in 
the above list have been critically discussed seriatim with the aid 
of specimens from the cabinets of its several members, and my 
thanks are here heartily tendered to the Section for permission 
in this paper to use the material which has been so carefully 
collated by its Honorary Secretary, Mr. R. H. Pulleine. (3.) 
Dredgings in the deeper waters of St. Vincent and Spencer Gulfs, 
which have been undertaken during the last five or six years, 
have supplied many new and interesting forms, as well as living or 
recent specimens, in considerable numbers, of species previously 
described. (4.) The examination of the odontophore from several 
of these molluscs. 
The following plan will be pursued, as far as the material and 
literature at our disposal will permit. The name of each species 
in our waters will be given with a reference to the work in which 
it was described, that name being chosen which has priority in 
point of time. Synonyms, with their references, will be 
enumerated. The places where it is found in South Australia 
will be given, with the depth in fathoms, when known. Any 
information beyond that contained in the original description 
will be added. 
If readers notice any omissions or inaccuracies, and will inti- 
mate the same to the writer of this article, he will be pleased to 
acknowledge them with thanks, and will endeavor to incorporate 
them in subsequent communications to the Society’s Proceedings.
