REVISED LIST OF SOUTH AFRICAN LATE TERTIARY AND PLEISTOCENE MARINE MOLLUSCA

Abstract

Several papers on South African Palaeontology contain lists and descriptions of Late Tertiary and Pleistocene marine molluscs. The names of the species were those current at the time among conchologists. Later research has shown that several of those names were due to erroneous identifications. No one paper contained a complete list of the recorded species. This inconvenience is remedied by the present compact list. Notes on some of the species give reasons for nomenclatural changes. Recent collecting has added several species to the list.
