The locality-numbers are those of the New Zealand Geological Survey 
(see N.Z. Geol. Surv. Pal. Bull. No. 1). 
It wil be noted that positive identification could not be made in the 
last three localities. The shells are undoubtedly of this group, but may 
represent different species. 
MeCoy (1875, p. 26, pl. xix, figs. 9-13) has described and figured 
specimens attributed to this species from the “ Lower Tertiary " of Bird 
Rock, Geelong; Mount Eliza and Mount Martha, at Schnapper Point. 
` With reference to this, Tate (1885, р. 137) says, “ The identification of the 
fossil and the living species has been disputed by Mr. R. M. Johnston. 
The material at my command is not sufficient to permit me to express an 
opinion, though I have little hesitation in accepting Professor McCoy’s 
determination in respect to the fossil represented by fig. 10. 
Unfortunately, no material from Australia was available for this paper, 
and opinions based upon figures and descriptions are not so reliable as 
those based on the са specimens. However, the excellent figures of 
the Prodromus show no erence between the anterior and posterior 
ribbing, so the specific identity of the two shells is open to doubt.
