Station 321. February 25, 1876. Lat. 35° 2' S., long. 55° 15' W. Off Monte Video. 

 13 fathoms. Mud. 



Habitat. — Mouth of the Eio Grande (British Museum), Patagonia (D'Orb.), Brazil 

 to Patagonia ; on the Pacific coast, north to Peru (Tryon). 



Deshayes, while rejecting Kieher's identification of this species with a Buccinum cochlidium 

 of " Martini, pi. 55 " (where nothing but Cones are to be found), and which, probably, is the species 

 of Chemnitz (Conch.' Cab., vol. xi. p. 275, pi. ccix. figs. 2053, 2054), follows Kiener, who had followed 

 Chemnitz, in ascribing the species to New Zealand. Mr Tryon accepts Kiener's identification 

 of the species, but not the habitat he assigns to it. 



On examining a large series of this species, and of Buccinum dcformc, King, a fossil from the 

 Pampas, south of Buenos Ayres, and living in the estuary of La Plata, the two species, I thought, 

 ran into one another.
