III.—Molluscan Fauna of Some Parts of the Province of Auckland.

Some time ago Mr. Charles T. Musson, F.L.S., of Richmond, New South Wales, sent me a large number of shells collected by him in the Province of Auckland, at Ohaupo, in conjunction with Dr. Rud. Haeusler, for naming; and I think it worth while to publish a list of the land-shells. The localities are the following, as given to me by Mr. Musson: 1. Heavy bush, Parua Bay, near Whangarei. 2. Whangarei Head, bush on steep hill-sides facing sea. 3. Hillyer's Creek, near Auckland. 4. Mount Wellington lava-fields. 5. Ohaupo. 6. Domain, Auckland.
