No specimens of this species were obtained by the Discovery Expedition, but Mr Bennett has sent 13 (50-480 mm.) from Stanley, Falkland Islands, taken from under stones at low water during spring tides from October to December; as well as 6 others (83-152 mm.) collected near the beach at New Island, West Falklands, by Mr Hamilton in February, 1934. There are also 16 specimens (45-290 mm.) in the British Museum collection from the Falklands, Straits of Magellan and Chonos Archipelago. The specimen of 240 mm. collected by Dr Cunningham, which was figured by Regan, may be regarded as the holotype. The species is said to be fairly common under rocks and stones along
