REPORT ON THE GASTEROPODA. 515 



13. Eulima latipes, Watson (Fh XXXVI. fig. 3). 



Eulima latipes, Watson, Prelim. Report, pt. 17, Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond., vol. xvii. p. 120, sp. 11. 



September 8, 1874. Flinders Passage, Torres Strait. 7 fathoms. 



Shell.— Squat, with a broad flat base, a rapidly contracting bent spire, a small tip, 

 convex whorls, an impressed suture, and a small pear-shaped mouth. Sculpture : none. 

 Colour glassy white. Apex very small, acuminately symmetrically rounded. Spire small 

 and bent above, enlarging very rapidly in breadth, with concave profile-lines. Whorls 9, 

 short, broad, of slow increase, slightly convex. Suture slight, a little impressed, scarcely 

 oblique. Mouth small, pear-shaped. Outer lip arched, its edge retreats above, is 

 rounded in the middle, and is patulous throughout. Inner lip is continuously arched 

 across the body and down the short broad pillar. H. 0'093 in. B. 0'045. Penultimate 

 whorl, height 0"015. Tip of apex, breadth - 002. Mouth, height 0*029, breadth - 019. 



This species is remarkable for the breadth of its base and the smallness of its tip. Unfortunately 

 it is not very well represented, the specimen which I regard as full-grown being rubbed and chipped, 

 and the two which are perfect being young and imperfectly developed, especially about the mouth. 



14. Eulima famelica, Watson (PI. XXXVI. fig. 4). 



Eulima famelica, Watson, Prelim. Report, pt. 17, Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond., vol. xvii. p. 121, sp. 12. 



Station 75. July 2, 1873. Lat. 38° 38' N., long. 28° 28' 30" W. Fayal, Azores. 

 450 fathoms. Volcanic mud. 



Shell. — Slightly more cylindrical than is usual in the genus, thin, with a small direct 

 oval mouth, a truncated rounded base, unsymmetrical profiles, whorls neither convex nor 

 concave, yet not flat, suddenly constricted near the tip, which is small, but not fine, and 

 is bluntly rounded. Sculpture: none. Colour white, but with a horny translucency. 

 Apex small, but blunt and rounded. Spire small, slightly bent, enlarging slowly and 

 regularly; its profile-lines are slightly convex, but are not symmetrical. Whorls 11, 

 those toward the apex are slightly convex, after the second is a rather sudden slight 

 enlargement. Suture a little impressed and rather distinct, not much oblique. Mouth 

 oval, pointed above, rather small. Outer lip arched, slightly patulous ; its edge retreats 

 above, advances very much below, retreating again in front, where it forms a slight 

 patulous gutter. Inner lip has a thickened glaze with defined edge, and is very regularly 

 arched from the upper corner to the point of the shortish, narrow-edged pillar. H. 0*14 in. 

 B. 004. Penultimate whorl, height 0-029. Tip of apex, breadth 0'003. Mouth, height 

 0-04, breadth 0t>29. 



The name of this species was suggested by the hungered look of the shell. It has a larger tip 

 with a less contracted spire, a more truncated base, and a smaller broader mouth than Eulima
