,, hicingulata, Dunker, Index Moll. Guinea, 1853, p. 13, No. 33. 



Station VIIp. February 10, 1873. Lat. 28° 35' N., long. 16° 5' W. Tenerife, 

 Canaries. 78 fathoms. Volcanic sand. 



February 10, 1873. Gomera, Canaries. 75 fathoms. 



This species is very abundant at the Cape Verde Islands. Kiener says it goes as far as the 

 Cape of Good Hope, but Krauss in his very incomplete list does not give it. Some of the Gomera 

 specimens are of a uniform ruddy-brown, with a few faint white stains. Turritella triplicata, which 

 M'Andrew, through an erroneous identification, gave (Joe. cit. supra) as a North Atlantic species, is 

 a Red Sea species closely allied, but certainly distinct (see Laborde, Voy. Arab. Petree, Paris, 1830, 

 pi. lxv. figs. 11, 12). Brocchi's species of that name, and which dates from 1814, is a well-known 

 Mediterranean form, but is altogether different.
