1880. Purpura succincta, Hutton. N.Z. Moll., p. 56. 

 Hab. — Common in Port Phillip and along the coast generally. 

 Obs.- — There seems to be no doubt whatever, that P. succincta 



and P. textiliosa are but variations of the one species. The 

 nature of their habitat probably controlling their variations to 

 a great extent. The finer ornamented form is the commoner 

 with us.

17, p. 80, f. 1, 2. 



Hab. — Schnapper Point, Port Phillip, locality of type ; 

 Flinders, Western Port ; Puebla coast. 



Obs. — The figure of this species is a very bad representation of 

 the shell, but as the type is in the National Museum, Melbourne, 

 we have been able to compare our specimens with it.
