In a second communication from Mr. Brazier, the following addi- 

 tional habitats of certain species of Volutidce were given : — 



Scapha mamilla, Gray, hitherto regarded as only from Tasmania, 

 has been found near Lake Macquarie, New South Wales. 



Scaphella marmorata, Swainson, ranges from Outer Manly Beach, 

 near the north head of Port Jackson, northwards as far as the 

 Clarence river. 



Scapha deshayesii, Reeve, is not from the Solomon Islands, as 

 given by Dr. Gray in his British-Museum Catalogue, but from the 

 east coast of New Caledonia, at Uagap, and north of Balade. 



Scapha punctata, Swainson, is found at intervals all along the 

 east coast of New South Wales, from Broken Bay northwards as 

 far as the Bellengen and Clarence rivers.
