THE MOLLUSCAN FAUNA OF TASMANIA, 43 
Australia. This appeared in the eae of the Zoological 
Society, and was accompanied and follo by the description 
very many new species. In 1867 a sailor list was made in 
the same periodical for the cathe of New South Wales. 
This, however, was more than a list, ya it had descriptions or a 
short diagnosis of each species dealt with. Ever since that time 
Mr. Angas has been making additions’ Pi the list by publishing 
new eich s, and we may say “that no a dap has so persistently 
laboured to classify Australian shells, or done more for our 
molluscan fauna. Next to him Dr. Gos a Mr. J. Brazier. 
The latter, in his pains eink enumeration of the mollusca of the 
Chevert Expedition, has done much to simplify the labours of all 
future observers 
now proceed to enumerate from the works of the naturalists 
named are what shells Tasmania really possesses; for the 
mistakes of eye found in most European writers are really 
innumerable. nd ‘the following shells mentioned as occurring

which Phil states came from N. Australia, but which has been 
identified with P. tramoserica Chemnitz; but whether rightly or 
no we have no authentic specimens to o determine. Some of these 
shells are distinctly stated to have come from Tasmania by the 
authors, and others are referred to as coming from sate which 
can only be doubtfully identified with Tasmania. 
It is curious however to observe the converse of this list, that 
only to Tasmania. A list has lately “awry published in the 
Journal de Conchyliologie (1878, p. 4, » by Capt. F. W. Hutton,
