Geographical Distribution.l'his species is known to range over 
western and south-western Murope and North Africa, and also to extend 
into Germany, Switzerland, and Belgitan, which 7. seuteulum ov 7. maugei 
are not known to do; this peculiarity in its distribution probably indicates 
its later evolution, a circumstance apparently confirmed by its more 
advanced internal organization. 
7. haliotidea is recorded trom Western Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, 
Mrance, Italy, Dalmatia and Adriatic States, Corsica, Spain, Portugal, 
Algeria, Madeiras, and Canaries, but the confusion that has alwe ays reiene vl 
in this genus makes many of the specific identifications of doubtful accuracy. 
It has also been recorded from Nova Scotia and from P hiladelphia, U.S.A, 
doubtless introduced. 
The distribution in the British [sles is probably very complete over the 
southern and western districts of Nngland, but the records are incomplete 
and many unreliable ; undoubted examples have, however, been found in 
various parts of Hngland, the south of Scotland, the south and east of 
lreland, and south of Wales.
