Quoy used the specific name "albicante," which is gram- 

 matically correct, as kous, hotis is a neuter noun. 



Lamarck and Sowerby give New Zealand as the habitat, 

 but Hutton does not record it in his Manual of the New 

 Zealand Mollusca, 1880, so it is probably a mistake. 



In Adcock's Handlist of the Aquatic Mollusca of 

 South Australia, 1893, p. 9, No. 366, it was given as H. 

 glabra, Chemnitz, with albicans, Quoy and Gaimard, as its 

 synonym.

Koch gives as the type locality "the western shore of New 

 Holland," but Reeve and all who follow give "Port Ade- 

 laide," including Pilsbry, who says he has not seen the species. 

 Koch correctly says it is "very rare" and gives its proper 

 habitat. But it has not been found at Port Adelaide nor 

 anywhere along the southern coast of Australia to my know- 

 ledge. It occurs on the western shore of Australia. Swain- 

 son, in Proc. Roy. Soc, Tasmania, 1855, p. 51, writes: — 

 "I have seen but two specimens, in the collection of my friend 

 G. W. Walker, who thinks he procured.it on some island in 

 Bass Straits." Probably, however, Mr. Walker made a 

 mistake.
