or only as regular dots around the inner margin, or as short 
radial brown lines at the internal periphery, or as a continu- 
ous brown border. Some are uniformly chestnut brown. One 
form has abundant colour-marking, which may begin at the 
apex as six to eight rays, tending to break up into tessella- 
tions as they widen. This variety is often slightly polygonal 
instead of round, the angles being in the white rays; but it 
ey o the ordinary form. :

The type locality of A. flammea, Q. and G., is Hobart- 
town, and the type dimensions are small, 5 lines ‘py 4 Wy 24 
high. 
The type locality of A. crucis, Ten.-Woods, is Tasmania, 
and its dimensions are 31 mm. by 31 by 19 high. Ten.- 
Woods described this as a distinct species, but Tate and May 
and Pritchard and Gatliff unite them. 
Ten.-Woods refers to Patella cruciata, Linné, as distinct’ 
from his A. crucis, because the former has ‘a white cross on 
a brown ground,” instead of a brown cross on a white ground, 
and Pritchard and Gatliff agree. But Tate and May unite 
them, and make A. cruciata, Lin., the specific name, and 
the other two synonyms. I keep them distinct. Ten.-Woods 
also leaned to the identity of A. flammea, Quoy and Gaim- 
ard, and A. swbundulata, Angas, and Pritchard and Gatliff 
unite them. Shells collected by me and identified by Angas’s 
type in the British Museum have not been yet graded into 
Quoy’s species? and are regarded as distinct.
