SEVERAL new species discovered in meis nid es Taieri Beach 
(a few miles south of the Taieri River), and in oyster-scrapings from the 
Bluff, and one or two larger species from other localities, are described in 
e following paper. Of especial interest are the records of Cassidea stadialis 
Hedley and C) ia lampas var. euclia Hedley : their size and appearance 
render them taking additions to the fauna of a land whose mollusca are in 
general not remarkable for their beauty. The writer would also like to 
make the following new records for the localities mentioned :—
