Callista CANDIDA. DesMyes, loc. dt, uL Sup. p. 60. Habitat given as 

 above. Unknown to Tasmanian collectors. 



Callista disrupta. Sow. Thes. Conch., p. 117, pi 163, figs. 20S and 209. 

 Transverse, ovate, shining, striate, yellowish, but much variegated with 

 purple brown. Long. 14, lat. 18, alt. 10. Rare ; Long Bay ; Rev. H. D. 

 AtMnson. 



Callista CITRINA. Lamarck, Vol. 6, p. 306. Pale yellow, about the 

 size of C. rutila, and said to occur in Tasmania, but I have not seen a 

 specimen. 



Callista rutila. Deshayes, who gives in the Brit. Mm. Catalogue, 

 "Proc. Zool, 1852," as his reference, but no such name occurs. In Reeve's 

 Icon., pi. 5, fig. 18, the description does not correspond with Deshayes's loc. 

 cit, nor does the figure. He refers to Sowerby's Thes., p. 743, pi. 103, 

 fig. 205, who gives no habitat. The shell usually regarded as such in 

 Australia and Tasmania, I believe to be new, and have described it under 

 the following name. 



Callista vicTOBia;. Tenison- Woods. 



DosmiA immaculata. Tenison- Woods. 



DosmiA GRATA. Dtshaycs, Brit. Mus. Cat. Conchifera, part 1, p. 8. 

 White, orbicular, with close, regular, almost lamellar concentric lines, and 

 microscopically very closely radiately striate. Stained rusty with age. 

 Common, and in Australia. I helleYe Dosinia cydippe, A. Adams, Zool. 

 Proc, 1855, p. 224 is the same shell. Long. 51, lat. 56, alt. 37. 



DosiNiA JAPONIC A. Recvc, Icou., pi. Z,fig. \7 . South Coast, Southport, 

 etc. This appears to me to be only a large specimen of the preceding, nor 

 can I regard it either as distinct from D. lamellata, Reeve, D. scabriuscula, 

 Phil., or D. incisa. Reeve. They are all from N. Australia. 



DosmiA CORTNE. A. Adams, Zool. Proc, 1855, p. 223. Solid, smooth, 

 compressed, and shining, strise very slightly elevated, pale yellowish white, 

 I have not seen this shell. 



Dosin;a crocea. Deshayes, loc. cit. Very near D. japonica, as above 

 but has the lameUse reflexed near the vunbones, and a beautiful saffron inside. 

 Flinder's Island is the habitat given, but it is not known in Tasmania. 

 There is another Flinder's Island off S. Coast of Australia. 



Tapes undulata. Born. Testacea.,Musei. Ccesarei Vindobonensi$,1780, 

 p. 67. A peculiar oblong, shining, fawn coloured shell, almost equilateral, 

 and with zigzag purple markings on the corselet. Said to be identical with 

 Bern's shell from the China Seas, but I strongly incline to the opinion that 

 it is a different and undescribed species. Rare, Bass' Straits' only, and E.A. 

 Long. 28, lat. 36, alt. 13. 



Rupellaria diemanensis. Quoy and G., Voy. Astral., pi. 8i,fig8. 25, 26. 

 Oblong, quadrate, ventricose, somewhat solid, radiately and transversely 

 ribbed. The transverse ribs lameUose on the posterior margin. Long. 14, 

 lat. 20, alt. 9. Common. Is this Deshayes' Venerupis mitis. ? See Zool. 

 Proc, 1853, p. 5. 



Rupellaria brevis. Quoy and G., loc cit., Vol. 3, p. 534, pi. 84, figs. 

 21, 23. An ovately quadrate sheU, strongly plicate at the base, and trans- 

 versely striate, which I have not met with. 



Rupellaria reticulata. Tenison- Woods. 



Rupellaria crenata. Lam., Vol. 6, ^>. 164. Globose, irregular, 

 oblong, imbricately sculptured and irregiilarly frilled. " It may be easily 

 recognised," says Mr. Angas, (Zool. Proc, 1867, p. 924) "by its peculiar 

 chalky appearance, blotched here and there with lilac," (or pink). Not 

 common. S.A. also, common. Long. 25, lat. 44, alt. 19, but this is large.
