Anomia. Oliver has recently (11) limited the New Zealand Recent species 
to two, A. walteri Hect. and A. trigonopsis Hutt., making A. huttoni Sut. 
a synonym of the latter, and removing A. furcata Sut. to the genus Мота, 
where P. zelandica (Gray) should accompany it. Suter (13b) recorded 
M. furcata (Sut.) from the Hutchinsonian of Mount Brown, and gave 
his opinion that the correct name for the common fossil Anomia was 
A. trigonopsis Hutt., of which A. walteri Hect. should be regarded as a 
synonym. us at present the Tertiary species are in a very unsatisfactory 
state; as regards Monia, only one Miocene species—viz., M. incisura 
(Hutt.)—should be recognized in the meantime. 
Streptochetus n. sp. is probably a Voluta species or its cast. There is 
no such label in the Otago School of Mines collection, and Mr. Marwick 
informs me that there are no Target Gully specimens so named in the 
Geological Survey collection, while shells from Black Point and Kakahu 
so named by Suter are only Volutoid casts. The name should be 
dismissed from the lists until better-authenicated specimens are found. 
Turbonilla prisca Sut.: The identity of the specimens so named by Suter 
from Target Gully with the type from Blue Cliffs has yet to be confirmed. 
Cossmann has referred T. oamarutica Sut. to Acirsella (1) (misspelt Acissella 
in the reference) a genus of the Epitoniidae, and this is a much better 
location than Turbonilla. The apex is not heterostrophic, no fold what- 
ist. 
i acus imperfectus Sut.: The holotype of this species should be in 
the Otago Museum, but cannot be bond and I pee f no other 
specimen. The diagnosis that Suter was able to draw up is so poor as 
to render trustworthy identification almost impossible, and the worn 
state of the lost holotype makes its generic position so doubtful that the 
best thing to do under the circumstances is to drop this species altogether. 
Phalium pyrum (Lamk.) is recorded from the Rifle Butts and Ardgowan, 
but no full-grown, or even half-grown, complete specimen of that species 
has been collected from Awamoan horizons so far as I am aware: the 
record from the two localities mentioned is based on juvenile shells alone. .
