for Melbourne, and dredged thence to Sydney. Several 
species belonging to this class were thus listed for the Vic- 
torian and New South Wales coasts, but none for South Aus- 
tralia. My dredgings during the last few years off.the shores 
of South Australia have yielded seven species of Pteropods 
belonging to three different genera. The shallowest water in 
which they were taken was sixty-two fathoms. They were 
found at all intermediate depths down to 300 fathoms, which 
was the limit of my operations. No specimens were taken 
alive, but only their glass-like shells. I am indebted to Mr. 
C. Hedley, F.L.S., for their identification. “The Challenger 
Reports, vols. xix. and xxiii.” ; and “The Catalogue of Marine 
Shells of Australia and Tasmania, pt. 2, Pteropoda, by John 
Brazier, O.M.Z.S., F.L.S., Australian Museum, Sydney (Cata- 
logue No. 15), 1892,” will supply the synonymy of the species 
and their habitat.
