February 10, 1873. Tenerife. 70 fathoms. 



Habitat. — The coast and islands of North-western Africa. 



Fossil. — It is found from the Italian Middle Miocene onwards. 



There are specimens of this species in the British Museum from Benguela, in about lat. 12° S., 

 in M' Andrew's collection from Orotava, and I have myself dredged it alive at Madeira. Von Martens 

 (loc. cit. supra) mentions that Dr Studer dredged it among the Cape Verde Islands. Even when 

 fresh the shell a good deal resembles a fossil. The operculum of this species is unlike that either of 

 Ranella or Apollon, and resembles most of all that of Cassis, being elliptical and concentric with a 

 laterally eccentric nucleus.
