The Tenasserim coast having been explored for shells by the 

 naturalists Philippi and Gould, no striking novelties in this 

 department could be expected. Nevertheless, the present col- 

 lection is one of considerable interest. The occurrence of several 

 species known hitherto only from the Philippines, from Java, or 

 from Ceylon, tends to prove that very few marine species are 

 confined to only one locality ; and that the large number of such 

 species in our systematic catalogues is due only to the want of 

 careful researches in other places. Some species, for which no 

 exact locality was hitherto known, aro here for the first time found 

 to be inhabitants of the Indian Ocean. Generally, most of the 

 Bca-shclls arc widely distributed throughout the Indian Ocean, 

 many species extending from the east coast of Africa to the
