Hob. — West Coast of New Holland (Captain P. P. King) ;

This is another of Dr. Gray's species described in Captain King's 

 Narrative of a Survey of the Coast of Australia, Vol. 2, p. 489, 

 1827, the type specimens collected by Captain King were presented 

 by him to the British Museum, and since that date all Monographers 

 from Kuster, Sowerby, Reeve, and Kiener quote Sowerby as the 

 authority of the species. Dr. Gray had the practice of putting 

 specific names very often to species in the British Museum but 

 not attaching his name to them, no doubt that is the cause of the 

 error.
