Hah. — Dredged outside Port Jackson Heads in 20 fathoms 

 (J. Brazier, 1873) ; oflf the Bottle and Glass Rocks, Vaucluse, 

 Port Jackson, 8 fathoms, bottom gravel, broken shells, and fine 

 sand (1874) ; Middle Harbour, found in shell-sand thrown up 

 after south-east gale ; South Australia ( W. T. Bednall) ; north- 

 west coast of Tasmania (Miss Mary Lodder ) ; north side of Long 

 Bay, near Sydney, in shell-sand (J. Brazier, July 24, 1886). 



This species was sent to me by Mr. Bednall as the young of 

 Murex puniilus, A. Adams, the latter species not being found in 

 South Australia, but in China and Darros Island, Amirantes, in 

 22 fathoms. 



The shell known in South Australia as Murex purnilus, A. 

 Adams, by Mr. Angas and others, is a new species which I have 

 named Murex polypleurus. 



Through the kindness of Miss Mary Lodder, of Ulverstone, North 

 Tasmania, in sending for my inspection the type specimen of Mr. 

 Petterd's Trophon tumidus, I find that, after comparing it with 

 numerous specimens of Murex Brazieri, Angas, they prove to be 

 one and the same species.
