120 DOLABRIFERA. 



Bourbon (see Moll, de Bourbon, p. 53, pi. VII, figs. 20-22), is 

 much more regular in shape, more like the seed of our common 

 plane (Acer pseudo-platanus), with a regular shaped wing and a 

 head or nucleus continuous with the body instead of, as here, a 

 fleam-like blade and distinct handle. ( Watson).

Only two specimens of this, the first species of the genus found on 

 the southwest coast of Australia, were taken by Mr. John Brazier. 

 No note seems to have been taken of the characters of the animal, 

 but the shell, which is large, differs 1 from that of other known spe- 

 cies. (Sowb.). 



D. JACKSONIENSIS n. sp. PI. 44, figs. 38, 39, 40, 41. 



Alcoholic specimen, length 28, breadth 16, alt. 6 or 7 mill.; broad 

 ovate, the head narrow, foot expanded and depressed toward the 

 periphery ; back moderately convex. Dorsal slit short (7 mill, 

 long), the pleuropodial lobes contiguous in the middle, gaping button- 

 hole like behind, diverging in front, the anterior insertions rather 

 separated. Tentacles and rhinophores as usual in the genus, trumpet- 

 shaped. Eyes black, distinct. Integument light yellowish, blue- 

 tinged over the viscera, wrinkled (from contraction) and bearing 

 rather distant warts, some of which behind and at the sides are 

 pointed. Mantle not perforated over the shell, not covering the 

 gill. Genital pore some distance anterior to the forward end of dorsal 

 slit. 



Shell (pi. 44, fig. 40 outside, fig. 39 profile, fig. 38 inside view) 

 thin, squarish below, the posterior half tapering ; apex curved toward 

 the sinus, very heavily calloused within. Sinus long, concave above,
