Mr. E. A. Smith on 



kindly presented a selection of the specimens to the British 

 Museum. 



A glance at the list at once tells us that the majority of the 

 species are common well-known forms, having a wide range 

 in the Pacific, some as far north as the Sandwich Islands, 

 and many of them also occurring in the Indian Ocean, and in 

 a few instances even in the Red Sea. 



The collection apparently indicates that a rich Molluscan 

 fauna exists at this island. At present only the more con- 

 spicuous species have been collected, and doubtless many 

 smaller and less noticeable forms could be found by closer 

 and more extended research, more especially if dredging were 

 resorted to.
