Hab. — Milne Bay (Hedley) ; one dead specimen. 



I overlooked this species until my return to Australia, when I 

 discovered a solitary shell in a bottle filled and closed in Milne 

 Bay. I was in the habit of daily purchasing by the handful 

 shells, beetles, and other small fry from the natives, and I con- 

 elude that I received this shell unnoticed among other things.
