Brazier records it from Bellinger River beaches, New 
South Wales; Hedley from Queensland. It has been sent to 
me from Carnarvon, North-west Australia. Brazier cites 
it from Rowley Shoals, and I have taken it at Ellensbrook. 
It has not been found on the southern shores.

1885, vol. vii., p. 190, writes: —‘‘C. fallax, E. A. Smith, is 
an unfigured variety, credited to Western Australia. It 
differs from the normal shell in being larger, more pyriform, 
white spots smaller and less clearly “defined ; they appear to 
blend into the fawn colour of the dorsum, vista fi is paler than 
in C. cribraria.’’ My shell is rather less than 11 inch, the 
maximum of (0. cribraria given by Tryon, and less still ‘than 
my cabinet specimens of this species, which reach 1°25 inch. 
The relative sizes of my example, and the-largest of these are 
27 mm. x 16 x 13 and 30 mm. x 18 x 145, Its dimen- 
sions, therefore, do not suggest C. fallax, nor does the colour 
ornament, for the spots are typically large, and allowing for 
some fading of the yellow-brown foundation tint are 
typically distinct. It seems, therefore, to be a_ typical 
C. cribraria. It has not been found on the southern shore 
of Australia.
