the distribution as it there stands. Schlumberger records it from the Atlantic 

 (Azores). It is of frequent occurrence in the Victorian Tertiary clays of Bal- 

 combian age ; and Bornemann and Reuss have indicated its general distribution 

 in the Oligocene clays of Germany. 



Present Occurrence. — Off the Snares ; 60 fathoms ; very rare. Twenty miles 

 north of Auckland Island ; 85 fathoms ; rare ; small. Ten miles north of Enderby 

 Island ; 85 fathoms ; common.

 Mauritius, and Western Australia.

Distribution. — This species has already been recorded, by the writer, from the 



New Zealand area, off Great Barrier Island, at 110 fathoms. It is a rather widely 



distributed form, and occurs in shallow water and down to 2,900 fathoms. 



Present Occurrence. — Ten miles north of Enderby Island ; 85 fathoms ; one 

 large example.
