Cyclostrema coatsianum, sp. n. (Plate, figs. 4, 4a).

 apicales nitidi, albi, Iseves, duobus cseteris longitudinaliter tequicostatis, costis loevibus, incrassatis, subflexuosis, 

 penultimo supr4 planato, ultimo spiraliter quadricarinato, carina obtusa infra, suturas, binis ad periplieriam, 

 prseditis, simul ac ad basim, interstitiis omnibus subquadratis et fenestratis, vegioue umbilicari profunda, 

 vertical!, apertura rotunda, peristomate crassiusculo, continue. 



Alt. 1, diam. 2'25 mm. 



Hob. Trawl, Burdwood Bank, lat. 54 25' S., long. 57 32' W., 56 fathoms. 

 Station 346. 



A very small, solid, white, boldly but elegantly sculptured Cyclostrema, the 

 nearest ally being C. micans, A. Ad., from the eastern tropics, known in Indian seas 

 as Liotia pulchella* Dunker. This species is somewhat larger, and the pattern of 

 sculpture is different. We name this species in honour of Mr JAMES COATS, of Ferguslie 

 House, Paisley, through whose generosity the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition 

 was equipped with funds, and whose regretted death, by a strange coincidence, occurred 

 just after this description had been drawn up, on March 22, 1912. 



Cyclostrema gaudens, sp. n. (Plate, figs. 5, 5a, 5b). 



C. testa minutissima, profunde umbilicata, depresso-discoidali, supra planiuscula, alba, anfractibus ad 

 3, quorum apex ipse depressus, perlaevis, ultimo ad periplieriam obtuse carinato, undique longitudinaliter arete 

 lirato, liris cirja viginti-duabus, apud basim circa umbilicuni obscure spiraliter carinato, apertura rotunda, 

 peristomate tenui, fere continue, operculo corneo, multispirali, nucleo central!. 



Alt. '75, diam. 1 mm. 



Hob. Station 346, trawl, 56 fathoms, Burdwood Bank. 



Slightly allied to the preceding, but much differing in sculpture, especially in the 

 suppression of the prominent peripheral keeling of the body whorl. Judging from 

 the figure, there is an affinity to C. alveolatum, Jouss.,t described from an unknown 

 locality, the dimensions being only slightly less ; the interstices, however, between the 

 tiexuous costse do not appear, in our species, to be spirally striate, as is the case with 

 JOUSSEAUME'S species. 



Cyclostrema meridiomde, sp. n. (Plate, figs. 6, 6a, 22, 22a). 



C. testa minutissima, depresso-trochoide, delicata, tenui, pallide albo-cinerea, epidermide fugitiva 

 straminea ornnino contecta, profunde umbilicata, anfractibus 4, quorum duo apicales tumescentes, albi, 

 perlaives, cteteris duobus penultimo uni-, ultimo anfractu spiraliter bicarinato, apertura rotunda, peristomate 

 continue*, paullulum incrassato, apud basim circd umbilicum crenello-carinato, operculo multispirali, corneo, 

 nucleo fer^ central!. 



Alt. -75, diam. '50 mm. 



Hob. Gregariously, on various Algse (Fucus and Macrocystis), Station 325, Scotia 

 Bay, South Orkneys, 9-10 fathoms. 



This well-defined but very minute species is evidently the same as that recorded 

 from the same islands by Dr E. LAMY,} and considered a non-adult form of an unknown
