SoLEN VAGiNOiDES. Laviiarck, Vol. 6, p. 65. Mottled with purple and 

 flesh color ; differing from S. sloanii, Gray, of N.S. "Wales, in its curved 

 form and greater width. Common. Long. 12, lat. 85. 



Saxicava australis. Lamarck, Vol. 6, p. 153. No definite shape or 

 color can be assigned to this shell, except that it takes every form according 

 to the rock on which it lives. Lamarck made two genera, and three species 

 of the above which occurs also in Australia. __ Not common. Long Bay.

PanoPwEa australis. Sow. Genera of Shells, No. 40, fig. 2. Ovate 

 oblong, handsome, wider anteriorly, posterior oblique, trucated, concen- 

 trically wrinkled. Rare, and even then seldom found alive. Long. 44, 

 lat. 75. 



Coebula zelandica. Quoy, Voy. Astrol. ZooL, Vol. 3, p. 511, pi. 85, 

 figs. 12, 14. I am very doubtful if this shell has been found in Tasmania. 

 It occxu*s in New South Wales and New Zealand, and as the whole known 

 species are great wanderers it may occur here. The genus is, however, 

 unknown in South Australia, and the Tasmanian fauna is generally more 

 similar to that coast than N.S. Wales. 



CoRBULA ERYTHRODON. Lamavck, Vol. 6, p. 138. The same remarks 

 apply to this shell. It is, not, however, known in N.S. Wales, but im- 

 doubtedly occurs in China, Japan, and New Zealand. See Von Martens, 

 Crit.f List Moll., N. Zealand, y. 4. 



Anatina anserifera. Spengler, Schrift, Nat. Ges. Z. U. Copenhagen, 

 Vol. 3, p. 32, No. 8. Chemnitz, Vol. 19, p. 193. Squarely oblong, sides 

 nearly equally granuled ; much larger and more square looking than the 

 other Tasmanian species. Long. 32, lat. 70. Very rare. 



Anatina creccina. Valenciennes teste, Reeve, Icon.pl. 2, fig. 12. Elon- 

 gately oblong, thin, hyaline, minutely graniiled, wrinkled near the umbones, 

 anterior sides shorter, alternately beaked, gaping roundly, extremities re- 

 flected. Long. 32, lat. 68, alt. 19, but this is rather large. Rare, North 

 Coast, Kelso, W. Legrand. Occurs also in S.A. and S.E.A., but much 

 smaller. 



Anatina tasmanica. Heeve, Icon. pi. B,fig. 20. Ovate, umbones nearly 

 central, translucent, shell widely gaping. Long. 25, lat. 50, alt. 17. Not 

 common. S.E.A. also, but smaller. 



Anatina angasi. Crosse, Jour, de Conch, 1864, Vol. 4, p. 349. An 

 oval, inequivalve species, split at the umbones, thin, and almost regularly 

 rugosely striate. Rare, Oyster Bay, Frederick Henry Bay. W. Legrand. 

 Long. 43, lat. 60, alt. 22. 



Ne^ra tasmanica. Tenison- Woods. 



Myodora brevis. Stutchhury, Zool. Jour, Vol. 5, p. 99. Tab. Sup- 

 p. 43, figs. 1 and 2. A short, triangular sheU, faintly flexuously ribbed, 

 convex on one side, and flat on the other. Long. 25, lat. 28, alt. 5. Rare, 

 S. Coast. W. Legrand. 



Myodora ovata. Eeeve, Zool. Proc, 1844, 2^- 92. This shell was 

 described as coming from the PhiHppmes, I doubt much if our species is the 

 same. Like the following, but stouter, with somewhat prominent ribs on 

 both sides. 



Myodora pandoriformis. Stutchhury, loc. cit., figs. 3 and 4. Oblong, 

 ribbed on one side only. Long. 11, lat. 16, alt. 5. Rare, S. and E. coast. 



Myodora tasmanica. Tenison- Woods. 



Myodora albida. Tenison- Woods. 



Myochama anomioides. Stutchhury, loc. cit, pi. i2,figs. 1 to i. A pink, 

 wriakled, parasitic shell with the lower valve always attached to sotoe other
