prove to be one species. It had been suggested that this Chascax madcrensis might be Turbindla 

 stolccsii, Gray, a species utterly unknown but for the type shell preserved in the British Museum. 

 Mr Edgar Smith has kindly examined Gray's species for me, and assures me it is the Turbindla 

 triserialis, Lam.

Misled by the locality, I had failed to identify this species, but Mr E. A. Smith, whom I after- 

 wards consulted, writes — " There is not a shadow of doubt of the identity of your shell with the 

 specimen " (of Latirus eontemptus, A. Adams) " in the Cumingian collection, and I therefore conclude 

 that the habitat ' West Indies ' is another instance of error in this respect in the Cumingian collec- 

 tion." At the same time I ought, perhaps, to add that Dr Kobelt (loc. cit.) quotes it from " St Croix, 

 Westindien," implying apparently definite acquaintance with the habitat of his specimen, which is 

 found in the collection of Mr Sutor of Hamburg. I have taken a good deal of trouble, but have 

 not succeeded in getting any further information regarding that specimen.
