Hab. — Shoreham and West Head, Western Port. 



Obs. — We know of only two worn examples having been 

 obtained on our shores, but have a very broad, equilateral speci- 

 men, got living at King Island, Bass Straits. Our specimens are 

 not so broad as this, but are much broader than that figured as 

 the type from Garden Island, Western Australia.

Obs. — In the last paper, quoted above, Mr. Hedley calls 

 attention to the two species of Haliotis recorded and named by 

 Perou, and obtained l^y the latter at Kangaroo Island, South 

 Australia. His descriptions are very brief, but the distinctive 

 specific differences are given in such a way that there is no 

 doubt about the shells he refers to. As mentioned in the 

 catalogue, H. granti has been obtained at Cape Northumber- 

 land, South Australia. Mr. Hedley states that the description 

 of H. conicopora answers to that of //. tuhifera, Lamarck. If 

 this is the case, the latter being subsequent, becomes a synonym. 

 Lamarck gives the habitat of his species as the seas of New 

 Holland, but Deshayes and Edwards, in the third edition of 

 Anim. S. Vert, place //. tuhifera as a synonym of //. gigantea,
