460 STUDIES ON AUSTRALIAN MOLLUSCA, X., 



campbellii Gray. Yet Gray does not appear to have referred to 

 it in his writings. The real authors of the name are Griffith & 

 Pidgeon. 



Kuster* has erroneously identified Chemnitz Conch. Cab. (1) 

 PL 157, fig. 1496, as S. campbellii. On comparison with Kiener, 

 Strombus, PI. 25, figs.l-la, it will be seen that the figure of 

 Chemnitz represents not S. campbellii but S. columba Lamarck. 

 Since Boltenf corrected the defective nomenclature of Chemnitz 

 by supplying a binomial name, Lambis plicata, for this fig. 1496, 

 it follows that S. columba Lamk, should be superseded by S. 

 plicata Bolten. Brazier has recorded J S. columba Lamk., from 

 Darnley Island, 25 faths. 



In the last Part of these Studies (ix. p. 523) I noted that Alaba 

 sulcata Watson, was based on an early stage of S. campbellii. 



Though not often seen on the beach, S. campbellii commonly 

 occurs in the dredge all along the Queensland coast. The most 

 southern record is Port Stephens, N.S.W.§ Reeve states|| that 

 Jukes obtained it at Sandy Cape, Queensland. I saw it in the 

 Capricorn Islands. The " Alert " took itIT at Port Molle. 

 Forbes** reports it from off Cape Upstart. Schmeltzf f noted it 

 from Port Denison. The "Che vert" J J at Cape Grenville and 

 Long Island. Haddon, between Hammond and Wednesday 

 Islands.§§ From the Gulf of Carpentaria, Roth records|||| that 

 the animal is eaten and the shell used for baby- rattles at the 

 mouth of the Batavia River, where it is called "yung-ko" in the 

 Nggerikudi language.
