Brazier : notes on Australasian mollusca. 67 



Purpura neglecta Anga.s~ U'rosa/p/nx Tritonifonnis Tryon. 

 - -Watson Bay, Port Jackson. Found under stones at low 

 water. Mr. Tryon is evidently wrong, or he never saw this 

 species, if he had he would never have placed it where it

Latiaxis nodosa A. Adams. — Bottle and Glass Rocks, Port 

 Jackson. Found under stones at low water, spring tides. 



Olivella nympha Adams and Angas. — Cabbage-Tree Bay,

O. triticea \y\XQ\o%=0. pardalis Adams and Angas. — Hunters

 (non Kiener).— Hunters Bay, Middle Harbour, Port 

 Jackson. Found with Murex Brazieri. There appears to

 species, and I will endeavour to clear it up. On the 

 30th and 31st of October, 1870, I sent to Mr. Pease, of 

 Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands, a large collection of Australian
