The type specimen was reported from Marion Reef, Trou- 

 bridge Island. Mr. Gatliffe sent me one from Victoria, which 

 at the time I was unable to identify. The Rev. S.J. Martin 

 took a fine specimen at Minlacowie. I have three specimens 

 — one about the size of the type specimen, dredged by Dr 

 Verco in Backstairs Passage (?), one from Corney Point, and 

 the other from Port MacDonnell. It is probably a deep- 

 water shell. I have been unable to detect the "golden spots" 

 on any of my specimens, but one was identified by Mr. 

 Matthews. It is similar to C. verconis and C. limans, but 

 the girdle scales differentiate it from either. Mr. Martin's 

 specimen is very handsome, a bright reddish-brown colour all 

 over, mottled with dark splashes. It measures 19 x 11 mm.

I have specimens from Cape Jaffa, Normanville, Second 

 Valley, Marino, Wool Bay, Hardwicke Bay, Corney Point, 

 and some very handsome specimens, with dark-brown dorsal 

 areas, measuring 76 x 45 mm., from St. Francis Island. It 

 has been dredged by Dr. Verco in Gulf St. Vincent, and 

 Mr. A. R. Riddle reports it from Black Hill, near Port 

 Moorowie. In one or two samples I have noticed spiny tufts 

 similar to the Acanthochitidce. I cannot detect any sign of 

 tufts in full-grown specimens. L. volvox is often encrusted 

 with limy matter.
