Lamarck correctly gives “the seas of New Zealand” as the 
habitat, Reeve gives Kangaroo Island, but Swainson, in Proc. 
Roy. Soc., Tasmania, 1855, p. 51, wrote: “By some unac- 
countable mistake it is stated to inhabit Kangaroo Island. 
It is well known, however, in these colonies (the Australian) 
to be altogether peculiar to the islands of New Zealand.”’ It 
has not been taken on Kangaroo Island or on the shore of 
South Australia.

Sowerby, Pilsbry, and Weinkauff give H. hargreavesir, 
Cox, as a synonym; but Hedley denies the identity, Proc. 
Linn. Soc., N.S.W., 1905, vol. xxx., part 4, p. 520. The two 
small examples of this species which the author, Dr. Cox, gave 
me support Hedley’s contention. 
Tt was recorded in Adcock’s Handlist of Aquatic Mollusca 
of South Australia, 1893, p. 9, No. 367, as H. rugosa-plicata, 
Chemn. I have Tate’s specimens thus named by him, but 
they are typical /7. roev. 
The species is rare in South Australia, but has been 
taken at Encounter Bay, at Aldinga (Mr. Kimber), up to 
82 cm. long, by 65 cm. broad, and at St. Francis Island. 
It has not been recorded from Victoria or Tasmania, but 
is common in Western Australia. 
Sowerby gives “New Holland” as the habitat; Menke 
“Mistaken Island,’ in King George Sound.
