The specific name given in Sowb. Gen. was preoccupied by 

 Lamarck for a shell, which, according to Kiener and to Eeeve, 

 is only a variety of P. bufo ; but Deshayes regards it as a good 

 species. We have therefore used the name given by Wood, 

 after Eeeve and Jay. 



Station. — In 10 fathoms sandy mud ; Cuming ! Eeeve. 

 We found our specimens in the crevices of rocks, between 

 the low water marks of the neap tides and of the spring tides. 



Habitat. — Unknown ; Wood : also Duclos. 

 Shores of Chili ; Kiener.

We collected 60 specimens on the reef. All of them are of
