 marine Molliiscan fauna of the South-African region was 

 ])ublishecl. Since then one or two new collectors have 

 energetically started in the field, notably Captain Connolly, 

 whilst others, such as Mv. J. Farquiiar, are still as successful 

 as ever in prosecutin<;- researches which result invariably iu 

 important and valuable discoveries. Amongst those the 

 following fourteen species have been kindly placed in our 

 hands for description. No less than nine species o£ Ennea

 also a few Ilelicoids. With regard to somo of these last
