NOTES. 



A few weeks ago the skipper of my little boat, the EOLIS, made 

 a single dredge haul off Key West, Florida, in 90 fathoms, rough 

 rocky bottom, and just on the edge of the "Pourtales Plateau" and 

 within the Gulf Stream. Although the number of species obtained 

 is small the catch is a remarkable one and seems to me well worth 

 recording. It is as follows;- 



1 Sipho (Ptycbosalpinx) n. sp. 



1 Liomesus stimpsoni Dall 



18 Voluta (Maculopeplum) dohrni Sby 



2 Voluta (Aurinia) dubia Brod 



2 Voluta (Aurinia) gouldiana Dall 



4 Calliostoma bairdi V. and S. 



6 Murex beaui F. and B. 



1 Phyllonotus nuttingi Dall 



1 Pteronotus macropterus Desh 



2 Coralliophila deburghii Reeve 

 1 Conus mazei Desh 



3 Phos candei orb 



10 Nassa hotessieri Orb 

 1 Cassis inflata Shaw 

 6 Pleurotoma albida Perry

MR. LLOYD B. SMITH collected the following species of shells from 

 a Pleistocene deposit near Sierra Nueva, Santo Domingo. It may 

 be of interest to put the find on record as the type of C. moenensis 

 Galb. was found in Costa Rica. 



Bullaria amygdalum Dillw. Notica caurena Lam. 



Columbella mercatoria Lam. Neritina virginea L. 



Murex similis Sowb. Chione cancellata L.
