Marine Mollusca — SOLEM 
267 
mollusks of Melanesia makes worthwhile the 
recording of distributional data for even com- 
mon species. Of the 160 species collected by 
Kuntz, 89 (55.6 per cent) were previously 
unreported from the New Hebrides. It is 
probable that additional collections will con- 
tain a similar proportion of previously un- 
recorded species and that the total number of 
marine mollusks will be well over 2,000 
species.
