QUEENSLAND MOLLUSCAN NOTES, No. 1 .

Under the genus Hastula H. & A. Adams two more species must be 
included: Terebra cerithina Lamarck, Ilist. Anim. s. Vert., vol. vii, p. 288, August 
1822, Timor ; Buccinum hastatum Gmelin, Syst. Nat., pt. vi, p. 3502, 1791, no 
locality.

This is the first authentic record, as though Shirley recorded no less than 
four species — viz., II. conoidalis Lam., Torres Straits; II. minor Martyn, Torres 
Straits; H. nobilis Martyn, Burketown; and II. crassa Morch, Normanton — both 
his nomenclature and localities are valueless, two of the latter being inland 
localities and two of the names being incorrect. 
Iledley (Nautilus, vol. xxv, pp. 65-66, 1911) gave some notes on the 
nomination, pointing out that Harpa harpa Linne = nobilis Lamarck (Martyn 
did not use it) ; Harpa davidis Bolten was earlier than H. conoidalis Lam., 
while Ilarpa amouretta Bolten was earlier than II. minor Lam. (again not 
Martyn). 
The specimen I collected was juvenile and is regarded as belonging to 
II. bar pa L. It may be recorded that when Melvill (Journ. Conch, xv, p. 25, 
1916) wrote upon the subject of Harpa he carelessly allotted two species to the 
North of Australia without citing any evidence. 
Voluta wisemani Brazier. 
This species was described as Voluta ( Aulica ) wisemani by Brazier 
(Proc. Zool. Soc. (Lond.) 1870, p. 108: Journ. de Conch, vol. xix, p. 78, pi. v, f. 1, 
Jan. 1, 1871) from the north-east coast of Australia. The figure was copied by 
Sowerby (Thes. Conch., vol. v, pi. 513 (Voluta pi. xiv), f. 139, 1887), who 
accepted the species. No further specimens coming to hand the species was later 
degraded, and does not appear in Medley’s Queensland list, though the type is 
preserved in the Australian Museum. 11 was therefore pleasing to find it living 
on Michaelmas Cay, and establishing its specific distinction, and consequent 
addition to the Queensland list. According to Medley’s conclusions it would 
belong to Cijmbiola , but that decision needs reconsideration. 
Another addition to be made is a true Cijmbiola named by Gray Voluta 
sop km (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., vol. xviii, p. 431, Dec. 1846: Endeavour Sound, 
North Australia), and figured in Jukes’ Voy. “Fly,” vol. ii, p. 355, pi. 1, figs. 1, 2, 
1847, where the corrected locality “Endeavour River” is given. This species 
does not occur in the Queensland list, and simultaneously Smith published a 
note on the allied species (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, vol. i, p. 96, 1909), 
where he gave as localities “Endeavour Straits and Port Essington, North 
Australia: Warrior Reef and Darnley Island (Petterd),” At the same time 
he showed that piperita was exactly the same as norrissii Gray, and regarded 
C. macgillivra yi Cox as a light form, and C. rnderi Crosse as a highly 
coloured form of norrissii, of extralimital distribution only, and that nivosa 
Lamarck was confined to West Australia. Medley’s record of nivosa Lamarck 
from Queensland probably referred to sophia , and nivosa must be expunged 
from list, but the record of ruder i Crosse appears to be good. 
The irresponsible Shirley suggested the following additions: — “Scaphella 
norrissi Sow., Cape York, and var. sophiw Brazier, Cape York, and piperita
