Quoy used the specific name “albicante,” which is gram- 
matically correct, as ious, hotis is a neuter noun. 
Lamarck and Sowerby give New Zealand as the habitat, 
but Hutton does not record it in his Manual of the New 
Zealand Mollusca, 1880, so it is probably a mistake. 
In Adecock’s Handlist of the Aquatic Mollusca of 
South Australia, 1893, p. 9, No. 366, it was given as /H. 
glabra, Chemnitz, with albicans, Quoy and Gaimard, as its 
synonym. 4

Koch gives as the type locality “the western shore of New 
Holland,’ but Reeve and all who follow give “Port Ade- 
laide,” including Pilsbry, who says he has not seen the species. 
Koch correctly says it is “very rare’ and gives its proper 
habitat. But it has not been found at Port Adelaide nor 
anywhere along the southern coast of Australia to my know- 
ledge. It occurs on the western shore of Australia. Swain- 
son, in Proc. Roy. Soc., Tasmania, 1855, p. 51, writes: — 
“T have seen but two specimens, in the collection of my friend 
G. W. Walker, who thinks he procured it on some island in 
Bass Straits.” Probably, however, Mr. Walker made a 
mistake. : f
