10. A List of additional Species of Marine Mollusca to be in- 

 cluded in the Fauna of the Province of South Australia ; 

 with Notes on their Habitats and Local Distribution. 

 By George French Angas, C.M.Z.S., F.L.S., &c. 



[Keceived September 19, 1878.] 



In the year 1S65 I published in the ' Proceedings' of this Society 

 a list of all the species of marine Mollusks that had been met with on 

 the shores of the Province of South Australia up to that date, num- 

 bering about 231 Gasteropods and 97 Conchifera. Since that period 

 other species have come to light, several of them hitherto only known 

 as inhabiting the New-South-\Vales and Tasmanian seaboards ; whilst 

 others have proved to be new to science, and have been described by 

 me recently. I am indebted to Professor Ralph Tate and Mr. W. 

 T. Bednall, of Adelaide, for several interesting additions to my list — 

 which includes 54 Gasteropoda, and 21 Conchifera, &c, hitherto 

 unrecorded as occurring in South Australia, thus making a grand 

 total of 403 species.
