JTab.—Mediterranean and western shores of the Atlantic; Port Jackson, (Castelnau). Grows to 
the length of 30 inches. I doubt very much the propriety of keeping this species in the Australian 
catalogue solely on the authority of Count Castlenau, who has left neither specimen nor description, but 
merely a catalogue name (Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales iii, p. 252), and whose identifications were not 
always as careful as is advisable.
