 "Philippines." 



Examples were taken along the 100-fathom line. Three 

 were only 40 mm. and 30 mm. in length. Each of these 

 retained the protoconch, which was conical, and consisted of 

 four quite smooth, sloping, slightly conical whorls. The 

 extreme tip, however, in each example was absent. Three 

 large ones were obtained alive up to 21 cm. long by 11 cm. 

 broad, including the everted lip. These were somewhat more 

 elongate and narrow than those found on the shore at Albany 

 and Wedge Island and less solid, and were less deeply coloured 

 than those taken on the beach on the west coast of Australia.
