The type of this species should be in the Uppsala Museum, vSweden. 

 Hanley announced in 1859 his discovery that the Linnean i>. i-amdicalata 

 was Avhat almost all conchologists had erroneously' called Dolimu. olearinm, 

 and that the real Bncciuniu olcariam was that Japanese species which 

 Philippi had so beautifully figured^^ as Duliniii creinilatuni. Zoologists 

 have since been deaf to Hanley 's remarks. 



This common Oriental shell called the " ouion-peel " by the French, 

 has not hitherto been i-ecorded from Eastern Australia.
