be almost bridged over, but as yet we have not succeeded in 

 obtaining a complete series. Another point of interest about 

 them is that they are very commonly associated together in the 

 same rock-pool.

 Hab. — One of our commonest shells in the rocky pools along 

 the coast. 



Obs. — As can be seen from the alcove the synonymy in the case of 

 this species is very heavy, but it does not require a very close 

 examination of its many forms to convince one of their specific 

 identity. This is an extremely good species for the study of 

 variation.
