Habitat.—Tenby (Goodall) ; Falmouth (Cocks); Berwick Bay (Johnston); Shetland
(Dalyell). Large examples are found in the creek to the south of the jetty at Loch-
maddy, and at various parts of the Loch at extreme low water, under stones, and
especially where the bottom is composed of shell-gravel; dredged in Fermain Bay,
Guernsey, attached to the interior of an old valve of Pecten; not uncommon in old valves
of Lamellibranchs in the laminarian region (6—8 fathoms) in Bressay Sound, and more
frequently in 8—10 fathoms amongst horse-mussels in the West Yoe of Scalloway. It is
abundant at Herm under stones near low water-mark, and dredged in various shells off
this island in 12—20 fathoms. Dredged off Peel, Isle of Man, 10—12 miles from shore
