Abstract
SINCE the descriptions of the animals and shells of two species of Australian bivalve gastropods, Berthelinia typica (Gatliff and Gabriel) and Midorigai australis Burn, were published earlier this year1, I have had the opportunity to examine most of the beach drift material of these species in the collections of Mr. C. J. Gabriel, Melbourne, the National Museum of Victoria, Melbourne, and the Australian Museum, Sydney. This material revealed that both the species mentioned are to be found along the coast-line of New South Wales, and they are here recorded for the first time from that area.
