Further Notes on Australian polyplacophora, 



WITH additions and CORRECTIONS OF THE 1918 



Distribution List. 



By Edwin Ashby, F.L.S., M.B O.U. 



[Read October 14, 1920.] 



Since the publication of my 1918 List I believe, with the 

 exception of Commandant Paul Dupuis, of Belgium, and 

 myself, no workers have published any notes on Australian 

 Polyplacophora ; but the new species and extensions of habitats 

 dealt with in these papers necessitate what may be termed 

 a progress revision of the said 1918 List. 



The following notes, additions, and corrections are in- 

 tended to collate these results, so that students of Australian 

 Polyplacophora may make the necessary alterations and addi- 

 tions to that List and bring it up to date. Tliese additional 

 papers are included in a Bibliograph at the close : — 



Lepidopleurvs liratus, Ad. and Angas. — Add this to the 

 Victorian fauna; see my paper on the Bracebridge Wilson 

 Chiton Collection (Proc. Boy. Soc. Vict., vol. xxxiii., pt. ii., 

 Nov., 1920). 



L. matthewsianns, Bednall. — Add to the Tasmanian 

 fauna on the authority of Mr. W. L. May. 



L. hadius, Hed. and Hull. — Add to Victorian fauna, 

 taken by Mr. C. J. Gabriel, at Torquay. I have taken it at 

 both Marino and Cape Jervis in South Australia. 



L. norfolkensis, Hed. and Hull, and catenatus, Hed. and 

 Hull. — Eliminate these Norfolk Island and Lord Howe Island 

 forms from Australian fauna. 



L. columnaris, Hed. and Msij = pelagicus, Torr. — Add 

 this to Victorian fauna, received by Mr. J. H. Gatliff from off 

 90-mile beach, Victoria.

 Victoria, Tasmania, and South Australia, recorded in paper 

 on Wilson Collection by myself floe, cit., Nov., 1920).

 (loc. cit., Nov., 1920).
