Frequent on both sides of the Bay on rocks and stones

Very rare. Two broken specimens dredged up at 
separate times in the Bay; but as there are only two 
other examples known of its being found so far from 
its usual southern habitat, these have been no doubt 
introduced accidentally. 
Rather scarce, in from 10 to 20 fathoms.

the Bay. Very abundant on banks on both sides of } 
the channel leading to the Harbour, from whence | 
the Periwinkles are gathered and exported in large 
quantities to London. Mr. Getty, Secretary to the 
Harbour Commissioners, informs me that this trade 
has been carried on for the last 25 years by one per- 
son, who employs three horses and a mule to draw 
them, besides employing boats, &c., paying about, 
£60 weekly in wages during the season. The Peri- 
winkles are assorted and put into sacks,of which one 
hundred are often shipped by one steamer weekly. 
The quantity exported in 1854 amounted to 400 tons, 
and in 1855 to 459 tons. During this long period
