Serolis tuberculata, Grube: ArcluV. f. Naturgesch., 1875,. 

 p. 227; Beddard: 1884, "Challenger" Reports, vol. ii., p. 67, 

 pi. vi., figs. 1, 2; Whitelegge: 1901, "Thetis'' Sci. Results, Austr. 

 Mus., Mem. iv., p. 236. 



Dredged by Dr. Verco, South Australian coast, many 

 specimens. 



Gulf St. Vincent, 4 fathoms, sand, Edgar R. Waite, 

 12/2/17, 3 specimens. 



Petrel Bay, St. Francis Island, dredged by Dr. Verco, 

 6-13 fathoms, 2 specimens. 



These specimens agree well with the tigures given by 

 Beddard. I have not been able to see Grube's paper. One 

 specimen examined is 18 mm. in length and about 14 mm. 

 broad, and is therefore about the same as the larger of the 

 two specimens examined by Beddard, which had been obtained 

 in Bass Strait by the "Challenger" Expedition. Grube's 

 specimens also came from Bass Strait. 



The species seems to be a common one off the southern 

 coasts of Australia, the specimens of it in the small col- 

 lection sent to me from South Australia far outnumbering all 

 the other species together.
