Mollusca of Kerguelen's Island.— By W. H. Dal!. 

 Bulletin of the United States National Museum, 1876; No. 3, 

 pp. 42—48. 



An interesting account of the Mollusca obtained in Kerguelen 

 Island by J. H. Kidder, M.D., Naturalist to the American "Transit 

 <if Venus" Expedition. Fourteen species were obtained, of which 

 the following are characterized as new, two new genera being estab 

 lished for their reception: — 



Hemiarthrum setulosum, (Cpr. MS.) Dall. 

 Kid-deria minuta, Dall. 

 Lepton parasiticus Dall. 



Octopus ? The beaks of an Octopus were obtained from the 



stomachs of Sea-birds. 



The genlis Eatonia, established by Mr. Smith, is modified by Mr. 

 Dall to Eaton iel la, Eatonia being already used to designate a 

 genus of Brachiopods. 



E it miella Kerguelensis, Smith. Dr. Kidder's specimens obtained at 

 low water mark on Fuci, vary greatly from the diagnosis of 

 Mr. Smith, and if found en comparison to be distinct, the au- 

 thor proposes they should be called Eatoniella inflata. 



Eatoniella Smitkii, Dali = E. ealiginosa, Smith. The name ealiginosa 

 being pre-occupied by Gould for a Fuegian species. 



Purpura striata, Martyn. A common New Zealand species. 



Patinella Magellanica, Gmel. Dead specimens; found also at Straits 

 of Magellan. 



Patella ? Dslessertii, Philippi. One specimen, dead ; found also at 

 Straits of Magellan. 



A new genus, Hemiarthrum ( Cpr. MS. ), of Chitonidez is establish- 

 ed for an undescri bed species, and characterized as follows : — 

 Valves terminates laminate?, hand articulata?, lamina laterales
