TOMI.IN : REMARKS ON CAPE MARINE PROVINCE. 



261 



The next point, going northward, from which I can glean any 

 records is Great Fish Bay, which I assume to be identical with 

 Baie des Tigres of the French, a locality in Portuguese territory : — 



Natica fanel Recluz. 

 Sigaretus concavns Lara. 

 Mytilus pictus Born. 

 Dosinia orbignyi Dkr. 

 Donax ruzoms L. 



Comis gradatulus Wkff. 

 Clavatula tripartita Smith 



(i.e. bipartita Wkff.) 

 Pseudoliva plumbea Dillwyn. 

 Cymatium costatum Born. 

 Natica fidiiiinea Gm. 



The W. African element has here become predominant. The Cone 

 is a deep water form which has been dredged several times off Cape 

 Agulhas and in the Agulhas Current. 



Mossamedes is about 100 miles N. of Gt. Fish Bay, and from here 

 onwards our knowledge rests upon much more extensive and adequate 

 data. In recent years Dautzenberg has given us two works of the 

 highest importance on geographical distribution, both of them reports 

 on the collections of Prof. A. Gruvel, who made several expeditions 

 to the W. African coast between 1905 and 19 10, and dredged system- 

 atically at many points between the Baie du Levrier and Mossamedes. 



In these ^ reports the following species are recorded from various 

 localities from Mossamedes northwards and are also ascribed to 

 the Cape province : —
