H. ruber, Leach, and H. sulcata, Philippi, as synonyms. 
This occurs all along the South Australian coast from the 
Glenelg River to St. Francis Island.

Hedley, loc. cit., drew attention to Peron’s name and 
locality, Kangaroo Island, and suggested its conspecificity with 
H. tubifera, Lamarck, and H. granti, Pritchard and Gatliff. 
I think, too that this is the shell figured by Philippi in Abbild 
und Beschr. Conch., p. 147, pl. iv. and v. (Gen. 2 and 3), 
under the name H. ne@vosa, Martyns, and which, according to 
Preiss, came from Mistaken Island, in New Holland. It has 
both from the figure and description the pipe-like holes, which 
in profile are well shown. 
From an examination of a considerable number of speci- 
mens it seems open to question whether this is not really 
a variety of 1. nevosa, Martyns, and though some individuals 
can be easily distributed in their typical species, others cannot 
be placed in-orte rather than the other. The validity of the 
spiral cords and of the axial corrugations, and the extent of 
projection of the spire above the dorsal surface, so as some- 
times to show the basal angle and in other cases not, the con- | 
sequent downward slope of the surface from the suture to the 
perforations, or even an upward slope or its rounded curve 
all vary considerably. 
Taken all along the South Australian coastline, at Beach- 
port measuring 175 cm. by 13°5 em.
