Art. XV. — Additions to and Alterations in the Catalogue 

 of Victorian Marine MoUusca. 



By J. H. GATLIFF and C. J. GABRIEL. 



[Read JOtli November, 1921.] 



Of recent years very many changes have been made in the 

 -nomenclature of the Mollusca, not only in the generic and specific 

 names, but also in some instances a consequential alteration in 

 the name of the family. But as these changes have been adopted, 

 more or less, by the British Museum, the United States National 

 Museum ; in the several States of this Commonwealth ; and New 

 Zealand, we have set out those which are necessary. 



In addition to the alterations, 43 more species have been added. 

 These include six in the Class Cephalopoda, obtained by the ill- 

 iated trawler Endeavour, and six in the Polyplacophora. 



At our request the MoUuscan material collected by Mr. Joseph 

 •Gabriel, in 1910, for the National Museum from the cable ex- 

 tending from the Victorian coast to Tasmania, which was then 

 being raised, was submitted to us for examination at the end 

 of last year. A list of the shells thus obtained was made out and 

 is included in the following catalogue. 



As indicated herein, it provides 13 additional species; that of 

 the genus Daphnohela, sp. ? being of special interest, as there 

 is no record of its previous existence. The genotype was ob- 

 tained in the Eocene at Muddy Creek, Victoria. 



Wc have to acknowledge the kind assistance of Mr. C. Hedley, 

 Sydney; Sir Joseph Verco, and Mr. E. Ashby, Adelaide; and 

 Mr. W. L. May, of Tasmania. 



In Vol. IV., Part 5, of the Biological Results of the Common- 

 wealth trawler Endeavour, Professor S. S. Berry gives a full and 



excellent Report of the Cephalopoda obtained by that vessel, and 

 from his work we are enabled to make the following additions 



to, and alterations in, the naming of our Mollusca.
