bRAZlER : NOTES ON AUSTRALASIAN MOLLUSCA. ^3 



Hemistomia Caledonica Crosse = Rissoa (Hemisiomia) 

 Caledonica Sowerby. — -Prony Bay, New Caledonia. Found 

 on plants and reeds in freshwater pools and holes- with 

 water. Mr. G. B. Sowerby in the twentieth volume of 

 Reeve's Conch. Icon, places this genus in Rissoa, and informs 

 us that " This shell bears so strongly the aspect of a true 

 typical Rissoa that, in the absence of an operculum, it seems 

 difficult to understand why a new genus should be created for 

 it." It is quite evident that Mr. Sowerby never had the 

 species before him but the figure from the French /ournal 

 de Conch.., 1872. 



Paludina sublineata Conrad^^/l /^//A? Von Martens (non 

 Viv. polita Frauenfeld). — Hay, Murrumbidgee River, New 

 South Wales. Found in small running streams, specimens 

 generally covered with mud. 



P. , Essingtonensis Shuttleworth. — Cardwell, Rockingham 

 Bay, Queensland, N.E. Australia. 



Turritella Austral is Lam. = T.granulifefaTt\\\^o\\-\<!ood.'s>. 

 — Port Arthur, Tasmania. This species is very common, 

 and always more or less broken at the aperture ; Kiener 

 gives a splendid figure of it in his "Coquilles Vivantes." 



Adeorbis plana A. Adams. — Port Denison, Queensland. 

 Found in beach debris thrown up after a gale. I am under 

 great obligation to my ever esteemed friend, Mr. E. A. 

 Smith, of the British Museum, for comparing them with 

 Mr. A. Adams' types in the British Museum. 



Zizyphinus Poupineli Montrouzier = Z. comptus A. Adams 

 (non Trochus comptus Philippi). — Hunters Bay, Middle 

 Harbour, Port Jackson, N.S.W. Found on beach after 

 south-east gale. This species was first described by K. 

 Adams, in "Proc. ZooL Soc, London, 1854," p. 38, as 

 Zizyphinus comptus, and re-described by Souverbie, in the 

 French "Journal de Conch., 1875," p. 40, pi. iv, fig. 

 6, as Trochus (Zizyphinus) Poupineli. ■ A. Adams' specific 

 name of comptus being used by Philippi in the "Concho-
