All specimens from Moreton Bay, both the holotype and 4 paratypes (sent me by W, O. Cernohorsky for examination) from 7-8
fathoms, and 4 specimens from 30 fathoms near Moreton Island (given me by O. H. Rippingale) are broader than the renovata
from Queensland, as they are about as broad as typical striatula from Bombay and the Persian Gulf. They are also mostly
smaller, though four shells from Shoal Point, Mackay (leg. G. Houston) are only about as large as tinctura, and much smaller
than the shells from Piccaninny Point, Yeppoon (leg. C. Coucom) and Pearl Reef (in coll. W. O. Cernohorsky)! These facts may
be illustrated by the diagram in which the length (in classes of 0.5 mm) has been plotted against the breadth (expressed in
per cent of length). Therefore tinctura seems to represent a well defined local race of Primovula striatula renovata: so far
as we know at present times, it seems to be restricted to the Moreton Bay area.

The July issue of The Veliger, quarterly journal of the California Malacozoological Society, contains a paper by Crawford N.
Cate on Western Australian cowries, in which he lists 60 species, with synonymy, bibliographic references, distribution,
measurements of largest and smallest shells, and other notes. He describes two subspecies as new: Cribraria (Ovatipsa)
chinensis whitworthi and Mauritia (Arabica) arabica brunnescens. A plate shows top and bottom of three species. In addition
to a map showing localities, these are listed alphabetically with geographical coordinates.

Holotype of N. rabaulensis

Readers of the Sean Raynon Sabado possibly will be interested in the fact that the writer has just described a new cowry from
New Britain (Archiv f. Molluskenk. 93:141,fig. 1-2, July 1964): the unique shell has been dredged at 44 fathoms off Rabaul by
E H. Schlosser, and is now preserved in the collection of Ray Summers, Petaluma, California. The owner is of the opinion that
a shell should not be described when only one specimen is known, but he has authorized me to do so as I think the
inconspicuous small cowry to be distinct from any known species. Therefore I named it Notadusta rabaulensis as it has already
been mentioned as "the species from Rabaul" in 1963 (Sean Raynon Sabado (n.s.) 47:7).
The figure of the holotype has been reproduced above by courtesy of Dr. A. Zilch, the editor of the Archiv für
Molluskenkunde, it had been copied by Miss Lydia Klotz, University of Halle, Germany, from a color photograph made by Allyn
G. Smith of the Californian Academy of Sciences.
