Hab. — Congella (H. Burnup) ; Port Lincoln, South Aus-

 Mus.). 



Specimens of this species from Congella vary much in size, 

 some being twice as large as others. It is a smooth shell, 

 without spii-al striae. Apparently neither Crosse nor Sowei-by 

 knew that this species was described by Hinds in 1844. 



Phi line aperta [Linn.). 



In his 'Marine Shells of South Africa,' p. 53, Mr. Sowerby 

 separates this species as distinct from P. schroeteri of 

 Philippi. On the other hand, they are united by Jeifreys, 

 Pilsbry, and Bergh,^ and I must confess I cannot see how 

 they are to be distinguished conchologically. Moreover, both 

 Linne's and Philippi's locality was Cape of Good Hope, and 

 Krauss recorded only one species from South Africa. There- 

 fore, unless some difference in the European and South African 

 animals can be shown I think they should all stand under the 

 name aperta, which is usually applied to the common British 

 species.
