Sab. In white quartz sand on the banks of Swan Eiver. 



[One of the specimens examined by Menke had adherent to it 

 a minute slender serpulid, for which reason he believed it to have 

 lived in salt water. It occurs frequently as a beach Shell at 

 King George's Sound, Great Bight, Spencer and St. Vincent's 

 Gulf ; and lives in the tidal portions of some of the South 

 Australian Eivers, but more especially on the mud flats of 

 sheltered bays. I have not examined the animal, but its operculum 

 is thin, horny, and paucispiral. Frauenf eld quotes it as Amnecola 

 granum, and Tenison-Woods has described it as Assiminea 

 Tasmanica from Sorrel, and as Rissoa Siennae, from north coast of 

 of Tasmania.]
