SUTER : A FEW NOTES FROM THE ANTIPODES. 73 



(3) The generic position of some of the New Zealand species of the 

 family Pleurotomidae., as suggested by myself, has never ai)peared to me to be 

 quite satisfactory, but the want of literature did not allow me to attempt a 

 better classification. Mislead by remarks in " Harris' Cat. Tert. Moll. Austra- 

 lasia " on Pleurotoma wanijanuicims and P. huchanafii, Hutton, I classed 

 about half a dozen species under Surcula. Fortunately the splendid 

 " Essais de Paleoconchologie Comparee par M. Cossmann " are now in 

 my possession, thanks to the great liberality of the author, and lately 1 

 have made an attempt to classify the species represented in my collection 

 (marked with an an asterisk in the list). Being of general interest, I 

 venture to publish here a synopsis.
