Sab. "Sow and Pigs" Eeef, 3 — 4 fathoms, sand bottom; 

 month of Lane Cove River, 4 fathoms, bottom broken shells.

 in the Proceedings of the Boston Society of Natural History, (see 

 his Otia Conch ologica, p. 164.). 



I have changed the name as above, in honour of Mr. Edgar A. 

 Smith, F.Z.S., the indefatigable worker in the Conchological 

 department of the British Museum.
