Hab. — Off East Moncoeur Island, Bass Strait, 38 fathoms 

 sand and shells, (Challenger). Inverloch, Flinders, San Remo, 

 Warmambool, Portland (Bailey). Airey's Inlet. 



Obs. — This species has long wanted a thorough overhaul, and 

 the treatment it has received by Mr. C. Hedley we are in perfect 

 accord with, and consider that most of the difficulties surround- 

 ing it are distinctly cleared thereby.
