I refer four young odd valves collected in the Bay of Bima (St. 47) to D. [A.) ptidescens. 

 Thèse young shells hâve a finer concentric sculpture than is présent on young shells of the 

 species from Aden in the British Muséum (Nat. Hist.), London. The following species were 

 rightly included by Smith in its synonymy : — D. [A.) scabriiiscttla (Reeve non Philippi), 

 D. [A.) ovalis Romer, D. (A.) ezinice A. Adams and D. (A.) biscocta (Reeve). 



Distribution: — D. (A.) pubescens is widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific. A list of its 

 records is published in Lynge's paper cited above. 



In the "Siboga" collection it is represented by four valves collected in the Bay of Bima (St. 47). 



6. Dosinia {Austrodosinid) sp. 



A single left valve collected in the Madura Strait (St. 2) appears to be a half-grown 

 shell of D. {A.) exasperata (Philippi) ^). This single valve is, however, a little subquadrate rather 

 than orbicular ; the postero-dorsal margin is only slightly arcuate and almost distinctly marked 

 off from the posterior border. The ventral marg-in is also not so strongly arched and the 

 sculpture is less coarse.

I agrée with Cox that the group of Venus puerpera Linn. should be included in the 



i) Philippi, R. A. — .Abbild. Beschreib. Conch., III, p. 24, Cytherea, pi. VIII, fig. 4 (1847). I do not agrée with Romer, — 

 Mon. Dosinia, p. 27 (1862), that D. (y^.) exasperata is based on young shells of D. {A.) prostrata (Linn.).
