Pottia serrata R. Br. ter. Otokia and coast near Akatore Stream mouth: K. W. A.

P. stevensii R. Br. ter. Otokia and Akatore: K. W. A.

Mr. Sainsbury obtained original specimens on loan from the British Museum which Dixon had assigned to this species and my specimens differ less from these than they do amongst themselves. One is part of the co-type collected from Christchurch (without opercula), the other a gathering from Oamaru by Petrie. My gatherings have the short leaves of the Oamaru plant, but a longer beak to the operculum than in that and also have a very thick nerve. The capsules are quite gymnostomous or may have traces of a peristome.
