Of this singular form three or four specimens were obtained by 

 the late Mr. F. Strange, and one by myself, at "Watson's Bay, Port 

 Jackson. The tube, which is merely an expansion and modification 

 of the valves, is curved and obtusely carinated on each side. It is 

 found attached to the flat surface of rocks at the bottom of pools, 

 projecting upwards amongst the pebbles and sand, at extremely low 

 spring tides. Length of the tube 2 inches 4 lines.
