QUEENSLAND MO LEV SCAN NOTES, No. 1 . 
Another name given by Reeve, Turbo pulcher (Proc, Zool. Soc. (Loud.) 
184.2, p. 185), to another shell collected by Dring, this time from Turtle Island, 
North Coast, must bear Menke’sname intercostalis (Moll. Nov. Holl, spec. p. 13, 
1843), while Philippi’s Turbo inter cos tails (Conch. Cab., 1846, p. 42), must be 
renamed Senectus trossulus nom. nov. 
Delphi)! ula turbinopsis Lamarck (Ilist. Anini. s. Vert., vol. vi, pt. 2, 
p. 231, 1822), figured by Delessert (Recueil Coq. Lam., pi. 34, figs. 1, la, 1841), 
is obviously the shell from Shark’s Bay, West Australia, above determined as 
T. squamosus Gray, an identity not previously recognised. 
In Hedley's list Astralhim was used with four species, petrosum , no bile, 
aureum (typ. error for aureolum ) , and tentoriif ornie. Since then Astrcea has 
been utilised to displace Astral i urn in the broad sense, but more recently 
Astralium has been revived for the longispina series, Astrcea belonging strictly 
to the New Zealand heliotr opium. 
Bellastraa has been introduced for the “ fimbriatus” series, with which 
teutoriiformis Jonas was associated, but the name of the South Queensland shell, 
the same as that at Sydney, is sinus Gould, the “fimbriatus'’ type not being yet 
recognised. 
When Hedley described his A. aureolum he contrasted it with the 
Neozelanic sulcatum as a second member of the subgenus Coohia. It appears, 
however, to be a gigantic relation of the Bellmtraa group, probably derived 
from the Calcar series, which is represented in Queensland by two or three 
species. 
At Michaelmas Cay I secured two species not previously listed: Calcar 
pileolum Reeve and Calcar stellar e Gmelin. Reeve’s species was first described 
as Troclius pileolum in the Couch. Syst., pi. 217, f. 5, 1842, and the name has 
been used for other forms such as rotatoria Lamarck. The true Troclius rotularius 
Lamarck (Hist. Anim. s. Vert., vol. vii, p. 12, 1822)-, described from unknown 
locality, is a West Australian shell, and also occurs in North Queensland. There 
should be no confusion as the beautiful figure given by Delessert (Recueil Coq. 
Lam., pi. 34, fig. 9 a, b, 1841) is sufficient to recognise the species by. The 
primary reference to Turbo stellaris Gmelin reads “Syst. Nat. pt. vi, p. 3600, 
1791.”' 
Commoner than these at Michaelmas Cay was Calcar petrosum Martyn 
(Ilniv. Conch., pi. 124, 1787), said to be from “China,” but agreeing in detail 
with our shell, was probably collected by Cook’s party in North Queensland or 
New Caledonia. Pilsbry (Man. Conch. (Tryon), vol. x, p. 234, 1888) associated 
with this species other shells which are certainly not conspecifie. 
Another common little shell at Michaelmas Cay was Leptothyra lata 
Souverbie and Montrouzier (Journ. de Conch., vol. xi, p. 277, pi. xii, f. 2, 1863: 
New Caledonia). 1 have shown that Leptothyra could not be used, and proposed 
Collonista for these shells, and as Montrouzier ’s specific choice had been anti- 
cipated by Philippi (Zeit. f. Ma)., 1848, p. 100, 1849), the New Caledonian shell 
must be called Collonista costulosa Sowerby (Thes. Conch., vol. v, p. 213, pi. xiii, 
f. 161, 1886) introduced to replace Montrouzier ’s name. 
LEU C ORH YN CHI A Crosse. 
This genus was introduced by Crosse (Journ. de Conch., xv, p. 320, pi. xi, 
f. 4, July 1867) for a New Caledonian shell which he named L. caledonica.
