As noted already Tapes violascens Deshayes is synonymous with P. [A.) ôr ug-uier t (tiairûey). 

 The ovate-oblong shell of this species is more compressed than that of P. {A.) variegata and 

 the sculpture is less pronounced. 



Distribution: — P. (A.) bruguieri bas been recorded from several localities in the 

 IndO'Pacific Région. 



In the "Siboga" collection there is a young shell and a left valve collected in the Bay 

 of Pidjot, Lombok (St. 33).

Dosinia s. s., with Dosinia africana (Gray) as type, is not represented in the collection 

 before me, but there are a number of species of the subgenus Austrodosinia Dali ^') — type 

 Dosinia {Austrodosinia^ anus (Philippi).

1906. Dosinia sieboldi Owston, Japan. Loochooan Shells, p. 38. 



Romer's detailed description of D. (A.) sieboldi agrées with the shells which I refer to 

 this species. The concentric sculpture on the posterior third of the valves is more or less pro- 

 minent and the ridges in the région of the posterior keel differ in being moderately to strongly lamellose.
