Its habitat was given by Gaskoin as Australia; Angas 
localized it more definitely at Kangaroo Island and Port 
Adelaide Creek; Beddome extended it to Tasmania; 
Pritchard and Gatliff recorded it from Victoria. 
Taken on the beach, Kangaroo Island, Gulf St. Vincent 
and Spencer Gulf, Fowler Bay (Tate), and Albany 3. 
Dredged alive in Gulf St. Vincent, 7 fathoms 6, 17 fathoms 3. 
One is a facsimile of Sowerby’s fig. 289, a small ventricose form 
from Miss Saul’s collection; others match fig. 533, ‘Mr. 
Hugh Owen’s beautiful shell from South Australia.”

Its habitat was unknown to Reeve and Gaskoin; 
Sowerby and Tryon give it as Australia; Tate and May 
deny Tasmania, as affirmed by Paetel; Hidalgo rightly cites 
Geographe Bay. It has not been recorded from Victoria. 
E. H. Matthews has 5 worn examples from Corny. Point. 
Dredged in Gulf St. Vincent or Spencer Gulf, 3; one 
has the articulated cross bands, and sparse large dots along 
the sides and over the dorsum; a second has the sparse 
large dots on the sides and dorsum, and the articulated bands 
on the left base and side, but on the dorsum the middle 
two bands have their spots joined by narrow brown bars, 
while the spots of the anterior and posterior bands become 
blotches, and the whole surface is finely peppered and reticu- 
lated brown. Forty miles west of Eucla, in 100 to 116 
fathoms, 1 was dredged alive; 80 miles west, in 80 fathoms, 
1 alive, and in 100 fathoms, 2 alive,‘up to 20 mm.; and © 
90 miles west, in 100 fathoms, 4 alive, the largest 23°5 mm. 
long without spots of any kind, one 21 mm. with many spots 
on the thickened outer lip alone, one of 19 mm. with spots 
scattered sparsely over the dorsum and sides, none on the 
base or outer lip, one 19 mm. with spots scattered sparsely 
over the dorsum, sides,,and thickened outer lip. 
Esperance 3, one with the middle two rows of spots 
joined by a brown bar and so grading into @. bicolor, but 
. with the numerous side dots coming well over the dorsum. 
Albany 2, up to 215 mm. x 12 x 9/5, typical in shape and 
ornament, with four equidistant cross bands of articulated 
squarish brown spots, and numerous smaller rounded dots on
