MOLLUSCA FROM EURl CREEK. BOWEN. 
By J. Shirley, D.Sc.

* Species so marked are new to Queensland lists. 
A former student of the Teachers' Training College, 
now in charge of the State School at Euri Creek, near Bowen, 
interested her pupils to collect for me a few marine molhisca 
from the beach near the school. The collection sent down 
proved a most interesting one, and contained several novelties 
that were specially welcome. The following is a list of the 
species received 
Pelecypoda. 
Arcidae. — Area chalca'ntha, Reeve. 
,, pilula, Reeve, s. A. bicors, Jonas. 
Aviculidae. — Pinctada vulgaris, Schumacher. 
Mytilidae.— *Mcdiola striatula, Hanley. 
Crassatellidae.— Crassatellites pulchra, Reeve, 
Carditidae. — Cardita excavata, Deshayes. 
,, incrassata, Sowerby. 
Cardiidae. — Cardiiim reevianum, Dunker. 
Veneridse. — '^'Dosinia nitens, Reeve. 
Paphia variegata, Sowerby. 
Tellinidse. — Arcof)agia fabrefacta, Pilsbry. 
Donacidse.— Donax australis, Lamarck. 
faba, Chemnitz. 
Solenidae.— Solen Sloanii, Hanley. 
Mactridae.— Mactra dissimilis, Reeve. 
Mesodesmidae.— Amphidesma striata, Gmelin. 
Gasteropoda. 
Trochidae.— Monodonta labio, Linne. 
zebra, Menke. 
*Thalotia tricingulata, A. Adams. 
This small shell, common along our eastern coast, is 
synonymous with Monodonta diminuta, Hedley. In his 
Studies of Australian Mollusca, XI., P.L.S., N.S.'^u, xxxiv., 
p. 278, Mr. Charles Hedley recommends that this species be 
written off the Australian lists as unrecognisable. 
^Calliostorna indistinctus {Wood) Reeve. Tryon, Manual 
XL, 128, says : “ There is at the museum a series of Trochids 
collected by Peron and Leseur on the Australian coast, which 
represent exactl\^ the figure of Wood, Their spiral lirse are 
salient and snbgranose ; the whorls of the spire project at 
the lower part.” The specimen from Bowen agrees with 
Wood's figere. and witli the above descrip)tion.
