In this paper I have added eighteen species to our list, which have been described by various authors from Australian or New Zealand sources. The occurrence of three more New Zealand species is interesting; but especially so is that of a large form of Pecten, taken living in 100 fathoms off Cape Pillar, and which was described from fossil material by the late Professor Tate.
I also describe eight species, which appear to be new to science, and are the results of various dredging excursions.
They do not present any great novelty to our previously known fauna. I have drawn the illustrations under the camera lucida from the type specimens, which will be presented to the Tasmanian Museum.
