 Only very dead and featureless specimens. 



Family TrichotropidsB. 

 Trichotropis antarctica, sp. n. (Plate, fig. 7). 



T. testa parva, imperforata, fragili, breviter fusiformi, sordid^ alba, anfractibua 6, quorum apicales ties 

 detriti, sublaeves, cfeteris tenuiter et arct^ decussatis, interstitiis quadratulis, ultimo cteteros exsuperante, 

 apertura ovata, labro multum expanse, inflate, margine columellari paullum excavate. 



Alt. 5'75, diam. (oris) 3-50 nun. 



Hob. Trawl, Burdwood Bank, at 56 fathoms. Station 346. 



A very interesting form, and we deem it worthy of description, albeit the only 

 specimen is imperfect, and the outer lip infested with growth of a Bryozoon. ' It seems 

 adult, and is comparable with no other member of the genus known to us. It is much 

 smaller in all its parts than T. inornata, Hutton, from New Zealand. There is no sign 

 of umbilication, and the epidermis is not present, being completely worn off.
