is a note, "allied to nassoides Gray." Five worn specimens, about 

 half an inch long, perhaps Reeve's types, but not so marked, repre- 

 sent nassoides; they are labelled "Conch. Icon, i., f. 259. Hab. 

 West Indies." These, I consider, can be definitely united to C. 

 zonulata. The name nassoides does not seem to have appeared in 

 American literature, which suggests that the West Indian habitat is 

 erroneous, and agrees with the suggestion that this name should 

 be adopted for the Sydney shell.

Brazier has recorded this from Darnley Island, Torres Straits. 

 But, in the British Museum, two, perhaps types but not so marked, 

 are labelled, "W. coast of Central America, Sir E. Belcher Coll." 

 These two habitats are incompatible. An Oriental representative 

 of C. quisqualis was described by Nevill as Drillia lucida*

This species was described as from Sydney Harbour. It has 

 never been figured. I was unable to find a specimen in any of the 

 Museums I visited. Tenison-Woods hints that it may be C. brench- 

 leyi Angas, but it had best be written off as unrecognisable and lost.

A study of the series in London leads me to consider that this 



species should be rejected as Australian, and that it is a native of 



New Zealand, where it was previously described as Pleurotoma 



trailli Hutton. In the British Museum is a specimen of D. cemula 



marked as the type, and labelled as from Port Jackson, which is 



here figured. No subsequent collector has found it in New South
