Habitat. — Between Inchkeith and May Island, several specimens of 

 this species were dredged, a few being alive. Though widely distri- 

 buted, it does not appear to be a common species. My friend Mr J. T. 

 Marshall, M.C.S., Torquay, kindly examined one of the specimens for me, 

 and confirmed my identification. He says ' it is a rare species in Scotland, 

 ' and I have it thence from only two localties.' It may be remarked that 

 some experience is necessary to enable one to discriminate the smaller 

 species of Cardium.

 Two fine and living specimens of this pretty variety of Trochus 

 zizyphinus were found by Miss J. E. Carphin at .Newhaven Pier ; they 

 had been brought in attached to the fisherman's lines from the outer part 

 of the Estuary. I have also obtained two living specimens of this variety 

 and one typical specimen among trawl refuse a few miles west of May
