A very small shell, brought up occasionally by the dredge from 

 10 fathoms; sandy bottom. The other Tasmanian species is C. 

 arachis, which is Australian also. In its young state it can always 

 be distinguished from the foregoing by the dense undulating trans- 

 verse striae with which it is covered (IMF".).
