1. Eulima aucklandica, Suter, 1909. Plate 17, fig. 10. 



Kulima aucklandica, Suter, Subantarct. Islds. N.Z., i, 1909, 24, pi. 1, f. 3. 



Shell small, subulate, lightly curved forwards, white, smooth, 

 glossy. There is no sculpture, except very fine growth-lines and rather 

 inconspicuous discontinuous varices. Colour white, the red remains 

 of the animal shining through the upper whorls. Spire lightly curved 

 forwards, about twice the height of the aperture. Protoconch globular. 

 Whorls 8, gradually increasing, but faintly convex, the last slightly 

 flattened below the suture, convex at periphery and base. Suture 

 superficial, white-banded below. Aperture pyriform, subvertlcal, angled 

 above, regularly arched and somewhat efiuse below. Peristome sharp, 

 simple, the outer lip very little convex, slightly advancing at the 

 middle. Columella subvertical, arcuate. Inner lip narrow, callous. 

 There is a very slight umbilical depression. Operculum unknown. 



Diameter Maj., 2-4 mm. ; min., 2 mm. : height, 6-4 rnm.

Eulima infrapatula, M. & S., T. N.Z.I., xxxviii, 1905 (1900), 297, pi. 25, f. 42. 



Shell small, subulate, broadened at the base which is distinctly 

 angulate, tapering to a sharp slender apex which is slightly curved, 

 thin, smooth, polished. Sculpture consists of minute spiral incisions, 

 scarcely noticeable or absent except upon the last whorl. Colour 

 white. Spire narrowly conical, tapering rapidly to a subacicular 

 apex which is oblique and somewhat distorted ; about twice the 

 height of the aperture ; outlines straight. Protoconch of a few smooth
