In Hardwicke Bay, Spencer Gulf, they occur in enor- 
mous numbers, from near shore to fifteen miles out, form- 
ing nests of small shells and fragments of shell in dead Car- 
dium. valves, etc., in about 15 fathoms. They have also been 
dredged at all depths from 9 to 24 fathoms, alive, through- 
out Spencer and St. Vincent Gulfs and Backstairs Passage. 
Off Beachport 4 well-preserved valves were taken in 110 
fathoms, and 5 in 200 fathoms. It appears not to have been 
secured in Victoria or Tasmania, though taken off the coast 
of New South Wales in 50 and 75 fathoms, as valves.
