A List of additional Species of Marine Mollusca to be in-cluded in the Fauna of the Province of South Australia ; with Notes on their Habitats and Local Distribution. By George French Angas, C.M.Z.S., F.L.S., &c. [Keceived September 19, 1878.] In the year 1S65 I published in the ' Proceedings' of this Society a list of all the species of marine Mollusks that had been met with on the shores of the Province of South Australia up to that date, num-bering about 231 Gasteropods and 97 Conchifera. Since that period other species have come to light, several of them hitherto only known as inhabiting the New-South-\Vales and Tasmanian seaboards ; whilst others have proved to be new to science, and have been described by me recently. I am indebted to Professor Ralph Tate and Mr. W. T. Bednall, of Adelaide, for several interesting additions to my list — which includes 54 Gasteropoda, and 21 Conchifera, &c, hitherto unrecorded as occurring in South Australia, thus making a grand total of 403 species.
