ANNOTATED CATALOGUE OF THE SPECIES OF 



CYPRMIDJi COLLECTED IN THE S. SEA ISLANDS. 



By ANDREW GARRETT. 



Every species enumerated in the following catalogue was 

 collected by the writer during many years devoted to a concho- 

 logical exploration of the Polynesian Islands. 



The groups explored, ten in number, are divided into Eastern 

 and Western Polynesia; though in an ethnological point of view 

 the Viti Islands would be excluded ; being, in fact, the eastern 

 limits of Melanesia or Australasia. 



Having noticed so many errors in the localities of South Sea 

 shells, as recorded by different authors, I have thought it advis- 

 able, in order to ensure accuracy, not to cite a single writer on 

 the subject, but, as above stated, enumerate only the species and 

 localities actually discovered by myself 



Further research will undoubtedly extend the range of some 

 of the species, and perhaps add a few more to the list.
