This specimen fully agrees with the quoted descriptions and figures, it is nearly covered 

 by a rather thick, velvety epidermis. Reeve, Sowerby and Küster give it the habitat „West- 

 Indies", Tryon, West-Africa, West-Indies and Borneo, the latter locality from the label of a 

 London dealer. Fischer (Cat. Moll. Indo-Chine, 1891, p. 46) records it from the Gulf of Siam, 

 after Morlet. The Siboga-specimen confirms its eastern habitat.
