Station 162. April 2, 1874. Lat. 39° 10' 30" S., long. 146° 37' E. Off East Mon- 

 coeur Island, Bass Strait. 38 to 40 fathoms. Sand and shells.

Mr Tryon does not seem to have compared specimens of the two forms he unites. Had he 

 marked the species as doubtful, his suggestion might have been useful. The entire group of 

 Oriental Fususes, as he himself suggests, needs revision, and all careful study of individual species 

 will be valuable ; but the greater the confusion the greater need is there of caution.

Reeve ascribes this species to Bory de St Vincent, as putting the names to the plates of the 

 Encyclopedic methodique ; but the name Fusus ocelli/ems was a mere " figure title," and in the table
