Habitat. — Between Inchkeitk and May Island, several specimens of 
this species were dredged, a few being alive. Though widely distri- 
buted, it does not appear to be a common species. My friend Mr J. T. 
Marshall, M.C.S., Torquay, kindly examined one of the specimens for me, 
and confirmed my identification. He says ' it is a rare species in Scotland, 
1 and I have it thence from only two localties.' It may be remarked that 
some experience is necessary to enable one to discriminate the smaller 
species of Cardium.

Two fine and living specimens of this pretty variety of Trochus 
zizyphinus were found by Miss J. E. Carphin at Newhaven Pier • they 
had been brought in attached to the fisherman's lines from the outer part 
of the Estuary. I have also obtained two living specimens of this variety 
and one typical specimen among trawl refuse a few miles west of May
