Hitherto this species has been unique in the collection of Mr. J. COSMO MELVILL, 

 and was obtained by him from the collection of the late Dr. PREVOST, of Alenon, 

 who had acquired it from' the NORRIS collection. This last collection was celebrated 

 for its Mitres, and this was one of its most particular rarities. The figures given by 

 both REEVE and SOWERBY are, of course, taken from this specimen when it was in 

 the celebrated collection of shells belonging to the Earl of TANKERVILLE, dispersed in 

 1825. Professor HERDMAN'S specimen is in a dead condition, and unfortunately has 

 the apex broken, otherwise it exactly harmonises with the type. This is a most 

 interesting discovery, establishing Ceylon as the locality for this rare shell.
