Vincent and Spencer Gulf. This was identified for me by 

 Mr. Hedley, who suggested that as a tropical form it had 

 migrated round the western coast of Australia to South 

 Australia, not being found on the eastern coast. This was 

 supported by the securing of a second specimen in better 

 condition, in 30 fathoms, off St. Francis Island, in the Great 

 Australian Bight, during one day's dredging.

I found a specimen some years ago on the beach at 

 Eagle Hawke Neck, Tasmania, which is identical with the

 off Beachport.

Arcularia mohilis, Hedley and May, Records Austr. Mus., vol. 

 vii., No. 2, p. 121, pi. xxiii., f. 16, with var. costata, f. 17. Type 

 locality. — 100 fathoms, off Cape Pillar, Tasmania. 



Dredged in 100 fathoms off Beachport, one immature; 

 in 130 fathoms off Cape Jaffa, twelve, some good, mostly 

 poor; in 150 fathoms off Beachport, two nearly mature; 

 in 200 fathoms off Beachport, one immature. No 

 examples were taken alive. They do not quite conform 

 either to the type or the variety. As regards the axial costas 

 they are intermediate, and the spirals are sharper, and wider 

 apart than in either form.
