82 MR. J. BRAZIER ON NEW-SOUTH-WALES CYPR.EID.E. [Jail. 16, 



found species that have never been recorded from this part of the 

 world. It is of importance that those who from personal observa- 

 tion are in a position to do so should give to the scientific world the 

 benefit of their researches, especially when they are able to correct 

 errors, or to increase onr knowledge of the geographical distribution 

 of species. 



Genus Cypr^ea, Linnaeus. 



1. Cypr^ea carneola, Linn. 



Hab. Bottle -and -Glass rocks, Port Jackson; Cape Banks, 

 Botany Bay. This may be considered its furthest southern limit. 

 It is very common to the north, at the mouth of the Macleay, Nam- 

 buccra, Bellinger, Red bank, and Clarence rivers. 



2. CyPR^EA ISABELLA, LillU. 



Cyprcea controversa, Gray. 



Hab. Headland three miles north of the Nambuccra River, also 

 Bellinger-River bar. 



This is not the true C. Isabella, Linn., but the variety named 

 controversa by Gray. Rare here, but common in the Central Pacific 

 Islands. 



3. Cyprjsa fimbriata, Gmel. 



Hab. Cape Solander, Botany Bay, Lake-Macquarie beach, and 

 the mouth of the Clarence River.

 Island in Moreton Bay.

 and at the mouths of all the rivers north of Port Macquarie.

Our specimens are larger and more deeply coloured than those 

 from New Caledonia and Ceylon. I have not seen the species south 

 of Botany Bay.
