Tasmanicus, but that name I find is pre-occupied. I name it after W. 

 McLeay, Esq., F.L.S. 



CoNus CARMELi. Tenison- Woods. 



Cypr^a annulus, Linne, 12 Edit, p. 1179. A higUy enamelled shell, 

 somewhat like C. moneta, but has an orange circle on the back. Long. 22, 

 lat. 17. Though Von. Martens discredits the statement that any Cyprcea has 

 been found in New Zealand, yet Mr. Legrand assures me that he has re- 

 ceived specimens of this shell from thence. It is said to occur in the 

 Molucas, and Lamarck gives also Alexandria as a habitat. 



Cypr^a angustata. Gray as of Gvielm, Zool. Journ. (London, 1824), 

 Vol. 1, p. 497. Purple brown with whitish margin on which only are 

 smeared dark brown dots. Long. 30, lat. 19, Common. S.A. 



Cypr^a piperata. Solander, MS. teste. Gray, loc. cit., p. 498. A paler 

 shell than the preceding, and spotted all over the hack, with minute smeared 

 chestnut dots. Eeeve's figure is from a young specimen, which is banded, 

 but the bands disappear with age. Long. 28, lat. 17. Not common. S.E.A. 



CYPR^aii coMPTONi. Gray, loc. cit ? Rich brown, faintly banded, with 

 the margins and base paler and spotted. Generally smaller in size than the 

 two preceding. Somewhat common. S.A. 



Cyprcea (cyprovula) umbilicata. Soiverhy in TauTc., Cat. 2260. Deeply 

 umbilicate and thickly spotted with pale chestnut, base white, highly 

 enamelled. Long., in rather a small species, 88, lat. 60. Rare. N. Coast, 

 and Barren Island. Thirty pounds have been given for this shell. 



CYPRiEA scoTTi. Brod. Zool. Jour., Vol. 5, p. 330, pi. 14, fig. 1 and 2* 

 I cannot find any trace of this species among collections. Reeve gives Swan 

 River and Port Lincoln as its habitat. In more than one work it is spoken 

 of as Tasmanian. 



Trivia australis. Lamarck, Vol. 10, ?;. 545. A finely ribbed white or 

 pinkish shell, singularly marked with livid brown patches. Common and 

 SJl. Long. 15, lat. 11. 



BiROSTRA maccoyi. Tcnison- Woods, Transactions Royal Society, Victoria, 

 1877. A unique specimen in National Museum, Melbourne, found at Tamar 

 Heads by W. F. Petterd. 



Cerithium dubium. Reeve, Icon. 'pl. 12, fig. 78. A pyramidal shell with 

 varices angulated at the middle of each whorl, fulvous brown and spotted. 

 Common. Long. 18, lat. 8, whorls 8. 



Cerithium rhodostoma. Adams in Soio., Thes., Cerith., sp. 49, fig. 105. 

 A small turretted granular shell with the channel almost closed like in 

 Cerithidea. Our specimens are white. Described by Reeve as from Tas- 

 mania but not common. Not uncommon in B. Strait, Victoria, and S.E.A. 

 Long. 8, lat. 3|, whorls 8. 



Cerithium serotina. A. Adams m Sowerhy's Thes., sp. 48, Ug. 102. Not 

 known to collectors here, unless, as I suspect, it is a variety of Bittium 

 granarium. 



Lampania australis. Quoy, Voy. de VAstrol., pl. 55, fig. 7. Rather 

 swollen, blackish, ribbed irregularly, and spirally grooved, whorls rounded 

 beneath, aperture obliquely subquadrate, outer lip produced in the middle, 

 thickened and channelled at the columella, sometimes prettily variegated 

 with white bands. Long. 35, lat. 16. Common, and S.E.A. and V. 



Bittium GRANARIUM. Kiener, Icon. Con. Viv. p. 72, pl. 19, fig. Z. Oblong, 

 cylindrical, solid, reddish brown, faintly plaited and spirally girt with distant 

 granular reddish ribs. Common, and S.A. Long. 26, lat. 8, whorls 8 to 16. 



Bittium turritella. Quoy, Voy. de VAstrol. Much larger, with 

 regular rounded plaits and deep transverse striee. Very common and S.A.
