It was found by me in Guichen Bay, in a small sandy 

 cove between two rocky prominences, which projected into the 

 sea. Just beyond the margin of the receding wave it formed 

 an abundant dark reddish-brown shifting sediment, with tiny 

 fragments of brown seaweed. It was scooped up in hundreds 

 with a spoon, mixed with Pliilippiella crenatulifei-a, Tate, 

 and Neolefton ro^tellatum, Tate. It had not previously been 

 recorded for South Australia. It was taken also in Lacepede 

 Bay in numbers, and in small quantity at MacDonnell Bay.
