figured by Wood in 1828, and by Dr. Phillippi in 1845. 

 Then we have the grand Zkyphinus, always been quoted by 

 Tasmanian concologists as Zizyphinus armillatus, Woods. The 

 Tasmanian shell is quite distinct from Trochus armillatus, 

 of Wood's Index Test, 1828. The Tasmanian species is the 

 Trochus (Zizyphinus) Meyeri, Philippi, described in 1848. The 

 other little Trochus quoted as Trochus (Olanculus) ruhcns, A. 

 Adams, is the Trochus (Olanculus) Dunkeri of Koch described in 

 1842. A. Adams never describeda Clanculus&srubeng. Trochus 

 Australis, Tenison- Woods, is the Trochus Adelaides, Phillippi, 

 described about 1846 or 1855. The Trochus conicus, Gray, is the 

 Trochus pictus, Wood, and Monodonta turrita. Menke is 

 Trochus Lehmanni, Kiener, and also of Homb et Jacq 

 it is the Thalotia picta, Tenison-Woods. The other 

 species are enumerated in another part of my paper, 

 and I need not mention them here. I am informed by 

 the energetic curator, Mr. A. Morton, that the shells in 

 the Tasmanian Museum from Tasmania are simply labelled 

 " Tasmania," a very wide term. I presume that Mr. 

 Legrand had the same idea that the late Mr. Cuming 

 had to destroy the correct locality, necessitating hunting 

 the works up in which it was described before you 

 could find the correct and exact locality or the in- 

 formation required, a rather roundabout way to get at 

 the desired information. I am under much obligation, 

 with many thanks, to Mr. W. P. Petterd, of Laun- 

 eeston ; Lieut. C. E. Beddome, of Hobart ; Rev. H. D, 

 Atkinson, of Circular Head ; Mr. A. Simson, George Town, 

 North Tasmania ; the late Mr. J. P. Bailey, of Melbourne ; 

 Mr. J. H. Gatliff, Melbourne; Mr. W. T. Bednall and 

 Professor Tate, of South Australia, for exact localities and 

 numerous specimens sent for determination.
