The Atoll of Funafuti, Ellice group : its zoology, botany, ethnology and general structure based on collections made by Charles Hedley of the Australian Museum, Sydney, N.S.W.

Cypæa helvola, Linne

Cypæa helvola, Linne.

Tryon, loc. cit., p. 194, pl. xix., figs. 8, 9; Garrett, loc. cit., pp. 106, 113.

I found one alive under a coral boulder on the western side of the Funafuti lagoon.

Garrett collected this at Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Gilberts, Carolines, Cook's, Society, Paumotus, Marquesas, and Hawaii. Rossiter gives it from New Caledonia, Loyalty, and Isle of Pines. This extends south along the Australian coast as far as Sydney.
