Transactions.—Zoology. 
Pleurotoma zealandica—Amend description as follows: instead 
of “tapering gradually’ read “ gradated,” and instead of 
“caudal keel small, set round with dusky,’ read ‘‘ cauda set 
round with small brown keel.” 
. Drillia cheesemani—Omit, as this is the same as Plewrotoma 
zealandica, Smith. 
» Defranchia  luteo-fasciata—Substitute Drillia sail Smith, 
manuscript. D. luteo-fasciata is a very small West Indian shell 
described by Reeve. 
Trophon stangert is clearly the same as Fusus cretaceus of 
Reeve. 
. Cominella lurida and huttoni are the same, and are the quoyana 
of the British Museum. 
Cominella funerea is C. costata. 
. Nassa rutilans, etc., are not New Zealand. I have N. cancellata, 
A, Adams, N. semigranosa, and Strombus variabilis, all found 
at Bay of Islands, but all doubtful, as before remarked as to 
Conus. 
Fasciolaria trapezium—Add to catalogue. I have one specimen 
collected by the late Dr. Sindlair. 
. Mitra rubiginosa, Hutton—Should be changed as there is a M. 
rubiginosa of Reeve, Proc. Z. Soc., 1844. 
» Marginella albescens can hardly be distinguished from M. australis, 
although a little smaller. 
. Marginella muscaria, Lam.—Substitute for Erato lactea, Hutton. 
. Cyprea—I have a specimen of Cyprea found on the beach at the 
Bay of Plenty in , by Rev. Mr. Chapman, but I fear 
that both this and C. punctata are dropped shells, not New 
Zealand. 
Struthiolaria inermis is the same as australis. - 
- Scalaria lyra is not the lyra of Sowerby. It is most like 
rubrolineata, but the band is on the middle of the whorl of 
- the latter. 
- Scalaria jukesii—Add to catalogue. I have specimens; also of 
another new species. 
Scalaria wellingtonensis—Add to catalogue. Described in ‘‘ Trans: 
N. Z. Inst.,” vol. xii., p. 307. 
Eulima chathamensis is Rissoa variegata, Angas. 
Calcar cookii is. Cookia cookii of the British Museum 
Calcar imperialis is Imperator heliotropium of the British Museum.
