notes ON THE SYNONYMY OF LIMN^TIA PEREGRA. 



Mr. William Nelson read a paper in which he stated that 

 having recently received from Mr. W. T. Bednall of Adelaide, 

 specimens of Tenison V/oods' new species, Limnxa Hobartonensis 

 (Proc. Roy. Soc. Tas., 1875, p. 71), he is decidedly of opinion that

Having seen some of the specimens of Mr. Edgar A. Smith's

 shell which he originally referred to Vertigo Moiilinsiaiia, Dupu)', 

 ought really to bear the name of V. Lil/jeborgi, Westerlund; a 

 view which Mr. Taylor held in a paper read at the 41st meeting 

 (25th of August).

 Binney, 1865) as occurring only in California.
