Beachport, Aldinga, Ardrossan, Stansbury, Point Soutar, 

 Minlacowie, Streaky Bay, and all along the West Coast to 

 St. Francis Island, Albany (Western Australia), and San 

 Remo (Victoria). Dr. Verco has dredged it in Gulf St. 

 Vincent. 



Tom Iredale, in Proc. Mai. Soc, London, vol. ix., part 3, 

 September, 1900, p. 155, quotes Dr. Thiele ("Revision des 

 Systems der Chitonen," i., p. 48), "that lueurii, Blainville, 

 must replace the familiar asbestoides, Smith."

After going through a great number of specimens of 

 this species and A. granostriatus, I am unable to separate 

 them . A series shows the striations in the dorsal area to vary 

 from almost smooth to deep microscopic sulci. I have only 

 one specimen of A . coxi from New South Wales. If it had 

 been found in South Australia, I should certainly put it in 

 with A. bednalli. 



It occurs all around the coast of South Australia. Speci- 

 mens in my collection are from the South-East (Port MacDon- 

 nell, Middleton), Gulf St. Vincent (Second Valley, Norman- 

 ville, Aldinga, Marino, Sultana Bay (Troubridge), Spencer 

 Gulf (Corney Point, Minlacowie), West Coast as far as St. 

 Francis Island. A number of very large specimens, mea- 

 suring 30 x 14 mm., were found at Kangaroo Island. I have 

 similar ones from Port MacDonnell, Troubridge, and the 

 West Coast.
