Show 1880.] MR. G. F. ANGAS ON AUSTRALIAN MOLLUSCA. 415 " Pupa, beginning of May. Forms its cocoon by uniting the leaves of its food-plant together with a white silk. "Imago, end of May." Major Roberts sends notes on several species which, owing to rarity, he has not forwarded to me ; of one of these (a small blue butterfly) he sends a pencil sketch ; but it would be impossible, either from a rough representation or the short notes which accompany the numbers, to ascertain with any certainty the correct names of the species.

Further Additions to the Marine Molluscan Fauna of South Australia, with Descriptions of new Species. By GEORGE FRENCH ANGAS, C.M.Z.S., F.L.S., &c. [Received April 20, 1880.] (Plate XL.) Several months ago I received from Professor Ralph Tate, of the Adelaide University, a small collection of marine shells obtained by him (mostly from shell-sand) on various beaches in St. Vincent's and Spencer's gulfs. Amongst these the following species occur which have not hitherto been recorded as having been met with in the Province of South Australia :-• 1. PURPURA ANOMALA, Angas, P. Z. S. 1877, p. 34. The type specimens were dredged outside Port-Jackson Heads, New South Wales. 2. NASSA LABECULA, A. Ad. St. Vincent's Gulf (Tate). 3. NASSA LIRELLA, Beck. St. Vincent's Gulf (Tate). 4. CLATHURELLA RUFOZONATA, Angas, P.Z.S. 1877, p. 38. Port Jackson. |
