As the average temperature of the sea in the coldest month is at least three centigrade below that of the more equatorial areas, it is to be expected that, in the Austral Islands, many Polynesian species are absent. In fact, in my catalogue of cowries indicating the exact distribution of living species (Schilder 1965, Veliger 7:171-183) I have stated (p. 175) that there is one only species (Luria isabella) known from the Austral Islands hitherto. Later on, however, Mr. William E. Old, Jr. (New York) has informed me by letter that a contact of his, living in Tubuai Islands, sent him, prior to 1960, six more cowrie species, and that three more species are in the collection of Mr. Stanley Levine (Long Island City). The provisional list of cowries living in the Austral Islands therefore rises to ten species and is as follows (1=indicates Hertlein 1937, 2=American Museum (New York), 3=coll. Levine). Wholesale rop
