Habitat. — Asia (Linne), Indian Ocean (Lamarck), Mauritius (Hanley in Wood), and 

 New Ireland ; Torres Strait (Brazier). 



Tryon (Manual, vol. v. p. 106, pi. xliii. figs. 28—33) has fallen into some mistake in the identi- 

 fication of this species, which he ascribes to the West Indies and Florida, and which none of his 

 figures represent. I have quoted Morch in order to enable any one who wishes to consult so high 

 an authority on the classification of this species. V. Martens omits it in his Mollusca of the Mauri- 

 tius,. &c.

 450 fathoms. Volcanic mud.

Philippi's determination of this species in vol. i. p. 230, was, he says (loc. cit. supra), a mistake ; 

 that at vol. ii. p. 195, is, according to Monterosato, also erroneous; while that of vol. ii. p. 194, 

 where he treats it as a new species, is correct.
