22. Eulima amblia, 1 Watson (PI. XXXVII. fig. 4). 



Eulima am blia\ Watson, Prelim. Eeport, pt. 17, Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond., vol. xvii. p. 127, sp. 20. 



Station 145. December 27, 1873. Lat. 46° 43' S., long. 38° 4' 30" E. Half-way 

 between Marion Island and Prince Edward Island. 50 to 150 fathoms. Volcanic sand. 



Shell. — Small, thin, translucent or transparent, a little cylindrical, slightly bent, with 

 a blunt tip, nearly flat-sided whorls, a very slight linear suture, and an oblong mouth. 

 Sculp>ture : There are some very obscure microscopic lines of growth and spiral scratches. 

 Colour glassy, weathering to translucent. Spire narrow, slightly unsymmetrical, being 

 a little bent to the right. Whorls 6, short, flattened, and scarcely convex on the side ; 

 the last is somewhat long with a very blunt round base. Sutwe very slight indeed. 

 Mouth oval, pointed above. Outer lip curved a little flatly above, but very roundly 



below ; its edge retreats very much above and below, and is prominent at the periphery. 



Inner lip forms a continuous very slightly concave curve across the body and down the 



short pillar, at the point of which it is slightly angulated at its junction with the base. 



H. 0125 in. B. 0'047. Penultimate whorl, height 0-02. Tip of apex, breadth 0'008. 



Mouth, height 0-04, breadth 0*026. 



This species, which is represented by only one specimen and a fragment, is probably full-grown. 

 Compared to Eulima philippii, Wein.k, this is a narrower shell, with a much blunter apex, a longer 

 base, a smaller mouth, and an outer lip less laterally prominent.

Eulima hebes, Watson, Prelim. Eeport, pt. 17, Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond., vol. xvii. p. 127, sp. 21. 



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

 350 fathoms. Red mud. 



Shell. — Rather small, broad, blunt, slightly angulated at the periphery, straight, 

 with conical profiles, flat- sided whorls, a slightly impressed suture, and a small angulated 

 mouth. Sculpture: There are unequal, close-set, hair-like microscopic lines of growth, 

 and faint broader spirals. Colour glossy ivory-white. Apex very blunt, rounded, with 

 a slight projection of the extreme tip on one side. Spire short, conical, very slightly 

 contracted toward the apex. IVJwrls 6, of regular increase ; the last is subangulated at 

 the periphery. Suture somewhat oblique, slightly impressed and distinct. Mouth some- 

 what lozenge-shaped, being pointed above and at the end of the pillar, and also at the 

 periphery of the shell and the base of the pillar. Outer lip thin, angulated at its edge, 

 retreats above and in front, and is prominent at the periphery. Inner lip : a thinnish
