AUSTRALASIAN ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION. 
TerebrateUa rubicunda (Sowerby). —Foveaux Strait to Whangaroa Harbour, 
5-50 fathoms; under stones at low-water, Rangitoto Island (Cheese- 
man); Chatham Islands; Auckland Island. 
TerebrateUa sanguinea (Leach).—Stewart Island to Cook Strait, 5-30 fathoms; 
Auckland Island, 40 fathoms. 
TerebrateUa sanguinea var. Thomson.—Off Cape Colville, 20 fathoms. 
TerebrateUa - sp., cf. Magella carinata Thomson.—Foveaux Strait. 
The New Zealand fauna consists mainly of wide ranging southern genera with 
the exceptions of Neothyris and Amphithyris . The former is not known with certainty 
elsewhere, although some South American species have in the earlier part of this paper 
been compared with this genus. Amphithyris is a very primitive genus, presumably 
of considerable antiquity, found elsewhere only in the Mediterranean, and is doubtless, 
like the primitive Australian genera discussed above, an element derived from the 
ancient Gondwana coasts. 
THE MACQUARIE ISLANDS DISTRICT. 
The only brachiopods known from the Macquarie Islands, which are separated 
from New Zealand by seas of over 2,000 fathoms in depth, are the new species described 
above, Magellania macquariensis Thomson, and Gyrothyris mawsoni Thomson. 
THE KERGUELEN DISTRICT. 
The Kerguelen District includes Kerguelen, Heard, and McDonald Islands, and 
some smaller islets, and is separated from St. Paul and Marion Island districts by seas 
of over 1,000 fathoms, and from the latter by seas of over 2,000 fathoms. The following 
brachiopods have been described from this group : — 
Hemithyris pyxidata (Davidson).—-150 fathoms. 
Liothyris uva Davisdon (? of Rroderip).—150 fathoms. 
TerebrateUa enspergeni Rlochmann.—20-30 fathoms. 
Waldheimia kerguelensis Davidson.—20-150 fathoms. 
Magellania kerguelensis Eichler (? of Davidson).—10 fathoms. 
This fauna is of typically southern type, with possibly a distinctive stock of the 
Magellanince in Waldheimia kerguelensis Davidson, The Liothyris uva will doubtless 
prove to be a new species of Liothyrella,
