Judging from figure and description quoted above, this interesting Bela is identical 

 with specimens found at Seymour Island, Grahamland. by the Swedish expedition. 



Bela fulvicans, Strebel. 

 Bela fulvicam, H. Strebel, Scliwed. Sudpolar ExpnL, p. 15, Taf. ii. fig. 25 a-tl (1908). 



Hab. Burdwood Bank, from Sponge, at 56 fathoms. Station 34(i. 

 An imperfect, bleached specimen seems, from the sculpture, to be the above 

 species, which occurred both in South Georgia Islands and in Grahamland.

Hub. Burdwood Bank, from Sponge, at 56 fathoms. Station 346. 



One example, more imperfect than the preceding, of a bleached shell, showing 

 faint flexuous oblique longitudinal costellatiou, mouth narrow oblong, whorls fairly 

 smooth, hardly impressed at the sutures. Dimensions: long. 13, lat. 5 mm. It 

 is quite impossible to differentiate it further. 



Savatieria concinna, sp. n. (Plate, fig. 17). 



S. testa ovato-fusiformi, compacta, solidula, subpellueente, albida, anfractilms 6, quorum npicales 

 duo bulbosi, vitrei, nitidi, perkeves, casteris apud suturas impressis, subventricosis, Longitudinaliter arctd 

 costulatis, costis crassiusculis, gemmatis, ultimo anfractu infra medium evauidis, delude ad basim spiralitcr 

 sulculoso, nurnero costuhrum anfractus ultimi circa 22, apertura ovata, laliro simplice, columella pariim 

 incrassata, canali vix prolongata. 



Long. 4-55, lat. 2 mm.

Sacatieria is a small genus, peculiar to these regions, diagnosed by ROCHEBRUNE 

 and MABILLE. It is nearly allied to Bela, differing principally in the abbreviated 

 canal, whorls peculiarly impressed suturally, and more distinct elaboration of 

 sculpture. Several species have lately been published by Dr HERMANN STREBEL, 

 and to one of them, S. molinw, our species is akin, differing mainly in sculpture, 

 being supplied with nearly double the number of longitudinal ribs, while the 

 gemmate beading is more pronounced in S. concinna. Only one example, happily 

 in first-class condition at the time of description, was procured, though unfortunately 

 it was accidentally broken at the mouth before it could be figured. We consider that 

 Lachesis meridionalis, E. A. Sm.,* is synonymic with Savatieria molinse, Strebel, 1905, 

 and has priority of twenty-four years over it.
