An author's co-type of the second Tellina brazieri, Sowerby, 

 received from Mr. J. Brazier, enables me to unravel the vexed 

 synonomy of this species. In the first place, it is a Lucina, not 

 a Tellina ; in the second place. Prof. Tate, to whom I showed the 

 specimen, regarded it as L.fabvJa, Reeve. Prof. Tate is ]'espon.- 

 sible for the introduction of L. fabula into Australian lists.f 

 Unless Sowerby 's drawing of L. fabula is very bad, which is 

 likely enough, the two species, L. fabula and L. brazieri, are 

 distinct. Further, the existence of L. fabula in Australia 

 requires to be proved. 



Mr. Brazier suggests to me that this is probably the species 

 listed by Angas; as Seniele scabra, Hanley, which is not otherwise 

 known here. 



A few separate valves were taken by the " Thetis " off Port 

 Kembla in 63-75 fathoms.
