This species dates back to Miocene times, in which formation 

 it occurs both in Europe (Bohemia, Austria, Galicia, Italy, 

 etc.), and in Australia (Victoria). Amongst the fossils from 

 the Miocene of the Mallee there occurs a papillate variety of the 

 species identical with the present living example. 



The " Challenger " specimens came from Bass Strait, 38-40 

 fathoms ; and from Port Jackson, New South Wales, 2-10 

 fathoms. Dr. Egger records his " Gazelle ' specimens from 

 the West Coast of Australia. 



Station 36, east of Tasmania, 777 fathoms. One valve.

This species has been recorded by Brady from Tongatabu, 

 at 18 fathoms, and off Booby Island at 6-8 fathoms. The 

 writer obtained it from Great Barrier Island, New Zealand at 

 110 fathoms ; and from shore-sand on the seaward face of

 South Wales, 2-10 fathoms ; from Booby Island, 6-8 fathoms, 

 and from anchor mud in Hong-kong Harbour, 7 fathoms.
