Hab. Near the " Sow and Pigs " bank, Port Jackson.

This species is very rarely found in a living state. Some 

 three weeks ago, I obtained one while hunting through mud and 

 sand brought up in the Government dredge working on the east 

 side of the bank. The length of the siphon when taken from the 

 sea was 9 inches ; when placed in spirits, 6 inches ; length of 

 valves, 4 inches ; from umbones to margin, 2 inches. I believe 

 that it is the first recorded specimen ever found in New South 

 Wales. I have frequently received dead and worn valves from 

 Mr.. W. F. Petterd of Tasmania.
