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.

Magilus antiquus, Lamarck

Magilus antiquus, Lamarck.

Tryon, loc. cit., p. 216, pl. lxviii, figs. 400-411.

Two young shells were obtained alive in company with the Galeropsis just mentioned. Tryon's remark "that all the species that have been differentiated from M. antiquus must be regarded with suspicion," has guided my determination. Nothing seems to be recorded of the distribution of this species in the Central Pacific. A specimen from the Solomon Islands is in this Museum.
