REPORT ON THE LAMELLIBRANCHIATA. 161 



This species was found at low water in sandy mud and also at a depth of from 6 to 

 25 fathoms at the Philippine Islands by Mr. Cuming, and Mr. J. Reeves presented to the 

 British Museum specimens collected by himself on the coast of China.

Habitat. — Station 162, off East Moncoeur Island, Bass Strait, in 38 to 40 fathoms ; 

 Station 161, off Port Philip, South Australia, in 38 fathoms; and at Port Jackson, New 

 South Wales, in 2 to 10 fothom.s. 



I cannot agree with Reeve, Augas, and Hutton in distinguishing Cardium pidchellum, 

 Reeve, from this species. I can discover no difference of sculpture, and the extra bright- 

 ness of the red rays is unimportant and variable. The name striatulum being preoccupied 

 by Brocchi in 1814 for a fossil species, that proposed by Gray is here retained. This 

 species is very abundant in some parts of New Zealand, and apparently the only one 

 found on the shores of that country. It ranges as far north as Port Jackson on the 

 Australian coast, from which place it has been previously recorded by Mr. G. F. Angas.
