Abstract

The following marine shells have been placed at my disposal
for description by Mr. W. Legrand, of Hobart Town, and the
Rev. H. D. Atkinson. Mr W. Legrand, who has one of the
finest collections of shells in the southern hemisphere, has
been a collector for years, and has become thoroughly familiar
with the marine fauna of our coast. Mr. Atkinson has occupied
himself with dredging for some years, and has been the
only conchologist who has sought for novelties in that way
in Tasmania. He has also been indefatigable in his efforts to
advance the success of conchology in the Island, and it is
owing to his efforts alone that some of tlie very interesting
species here described have been brought to light.
