Hab. — Rather common in Port Phillip and Western Port,, 

 also occurring along the coast generally. 



Obs. — Regarding Carinidea tasmanica, T. Woods states that 

 lie had always regarded this as a young variety of Trochus aureus, 

 Jonas, but the form is so constant and so very distinct that he 

 decided to describe it as new. We, however, feel pretty sure that 

 his first opinion was correct. Regarding Liotia incerta, T. Woods, 

 Professor Tate remarks that Petterd regarded this shell as an 

 immature Astralium tasmanicum, but that such opinion cannot 

 be correct. We are inclined to agree with Professor Tate, for the 

 description of L. incerta does not enable us to regard it as a 

 synonym of the above, but a specimen labelled L. incerta, in the 

 Tasmanian case in the old National Museum, certainly is the 

 young of A. aureum. This specimen may perhaps have been 

 obtained from Mr. Petterd. Professor Tate inclines to the 

 opinion that T. Woods' species incerta is a Liotia, but probably 

 an immature L. tasmanica.
