REPORT ON THE GASTEROPODA. 459 



Habitat. — The Western Pacific from Japan to New Zealand and Australia, India and 

 the Indian Ocean, Africa from the Cape to Guinea, America from the West Indies to 

 Patagonia and to California, the Sandwich Islands (Lischke). Torres Strait, 11 fathoms ; 

 New Guinea, 8 fathoms (Brazier). 



For the synonymy and extraordinary distribution of this species nothing can be fuller and better 

 than the disquisition by Lischke (loc. cit. supra). No less interesting is that of Carpenter, Mazatlan 

 Moll. (loc. cit. supra).

Station 315. January 2G-28, 1876. Port Stanley and Port William, Falkland 

 Islands. 5 to 12 fathoms. Sand and gravel. 



Habitat. — South America (d'Orbigny) ; Falkland Islands and Strait of Magellan 

 (Reeve). 



Carpenter's remarks (loc. cit. supra) on the synonymy and distribution of this species are, as 

 usual, of great value. It is to be regretted that so much useful information is buried in a work, 

 outwardly so unattractive, and in which the absence of an index makes study a toil.
