the orbit and the posterior extremity of the caudal fin, and opposite 
to the commencement of the anal. Ventral has an elongated ray. 
Scales largest above the lateral line. 
Two specimens, up to 24 inches in length, are in the collection.

392, t. 45. f. 3. 
This species is identical with the Danio micronema, Bleeker, as 
described by Dr. Giinther (Bleeker’s paper not being available). 
Four specimens are in the collection. Besides these, three others 
have been received from one locality, and agree with the P. osteo- 
graphus in every respect, excepting that the maxillary barbels are 
deficient.

Diplommatina wisemanni, Brazier’s MS. 
Found under leaves on damp ground in the pine-forests of Norfolk 
Island. This and the preceding species I collected in 1865.

3. AULICA RUECKERI. 
Voluta rueckeri, Crosse, Journ. de Conchyl. 1867, p. 444, et 1868,

The correct locality of this species is New Georgia, Solomon Is- 
lands, and not Nichol Bay, West Australia, as given by M. Crosse. 
Ihave seen as many as two hundred specimens brought to Sydney in 
one of the Solomon-Islands traders. The Volutes obtained at Nichol 
Bay are well known to us, viz. Scaphelle ellioti, volva, and reticulata, 
and Aulica norrisii. Having received large quantities of all the above 
named, I am certain that Aulica rueckert was never found on the 
Australian continent. I have a specimen, quite a giant in size,
