pated by Mr. H. B. Preston. A new name, therefore, becomes 

 necessary, and is here bestowed. I have lately found the species 

 to be plentiful as dead shells on the beach of Lizard Island, 

 North Queensland.

This is a new i-ecord for this State. On 2nd February, 191 G, 

 I dredged several specimens in 7-19 fathoms, off the north end 

 of Montagu Island, on sandy ground.

This species lives under rocks on the ocean-heach. The animal 

 is very active, coloured orange variegated with buff. There is 

 no operculum. A papillate mantle closes over the shell. Foot 

 in front notched, sometimes produced into lobes, behind pointed 

 and projecting past the shell. Tentacles wide-spread, rather 

 short and blunt, eyes sessile at the outer bases of the tentacles. 

 Rostrum exserted more than half the length of the tentacles. 

 The specimens drawn were obtained at Narooma, N.S. W., whence 

 I have traced it north to Mast Head Island.
