The South Australian shell is scarcely as transverse as 
that figured, and is more crenulated at the margin, but Ber- 
nard describes his as ‘“‘margo ventralis crenatus,” and this 
character varies in our specimens, as do also the wideness and 
roundness of the radial ribs. 
St. Paul Island, if that situated in the Atlantic is 
referred to, is very distant; but no further than several other 
accredited specimens extend.
