Type (?). 



H a b. — Louisiade Islands (Angas) 1. 



No definite locality in the Louisiades is known for this shell, 

 and since a variety is recorded from the Solomons by Smith 

 (P.Z.S. 1885, p. 592), it is most probable that the type was derived 

 from thence. 



Recorded from the province in error.
