REPORT ON THE GASTEROPODA. 511 



high, slightly flexuous, and with not quite similar profile-lines. Whorls 11, just 

 appreciably convex ; the earlier ones are rounded ; the last is largish, a little tumid, very 

 faintly angulated at the periphery, with a rounded base, at the point of which the spoon- 

 shaped mouth-front projects. Suture linear, slightly impressed, and for the genus a little 

 coarse. Mouth large and very open, pointedly oval. Outer lip well arched and patulous ; 

 the edge is deeply sinuated above, slightly prominent in the middle, and retreats a little 

 to the base, where it is expanded into a very shallow, wide, spoon-edged canal. Inner lip : 

 a thinnish narrow glaze with a defined edge crosses the body, and runs out on the straight 

 broad pillar, behind the reverted edge of which lies a strongly marked furrow. H. 

 0'41 in. B. 0-12. Penultimate whorl, height 0-06. Mouth, height 0-14, breadth 0'06. 



In general form this is somewhat intermediate between Eulima polita, Linne, and Eulima 

 intermedia, Cantr. ; but the apex is much coarser, and the mouth both larger and diverse in shape. 

 No measurement of the apical whorl is given above, in consequence of a minute crush which befell 

 the extreme tip in the very act of taking the measurement.

Station 122. September 10, 1873. Lat. 9° 5' S., long. 34° 50' AY. Off Pernambuco. 

 350 fathoms. Red mud. 



Shell. — High and narrow, very symmetrical, with a very fine linear suture, flat-sided 

 and very little oblique whorls, a tapering scarcely convex base, and a small pear-shaped 

 mouth. Sculpture none. Colour : the specimen is dead and discoloured. Apex slightly 

 broken, but seemingly small. Spire high, quite straight, and with both profile-lines most 

 symmetrical. Whorls 12 or 13, quite flat on the sides ; the last whorl is a little long but 

 narrow, tapering very gradually, scarcely convex, and very regularly rounded in front, 

 where the lip hardly projects. Suture linear, fine and hardly impressed, and very little 

 oblique. Mouth not oval, but regularly pear-shaped and slightly oblique. Outer lip 

 quite straight in its direction ; its edge is deeply sinuated above, a little prominent in the 

 middle, and then it retreats very slightly to the shallow open gutter in front. Inner lip : 

 a thin glaze with defined edge crosses the body and runs out on the short, narrow, slightly 

 twisted pillar, with a very minute furrow behind it. H. - 33 in. B. - 06. Penultimate 

 whorl, height 0-046. Mouth, height 0-07, breadth 0'05. 



This species very much resembles Eulima subulata, Don., but is slightly slimmer in form,- and 

 the base in particular is more symmetrical ; the sculpture is less oblique ; the mouth is unmistakably 

 different, being smaller, more drawn in towards the axis of the shell, and the inner lip has no curve 

 on the body, and no angulation at the junction of body and pillar, but runs quite straight from the 



1 f<f>d/MiX'kog, like, resembling Eulima subulata, Don.
