Polystomella macella, F. & M. sp., var. limbata, nov. 



(PI. 10, Figs. 9, a, b.) 



This variety is like the specific form in having a depressed 

 umbilicus and subacute periphery ; the sutures, however, instead 

 of being excavated, are prominent, and the shell surface near the 

 sutural areas and over the umbilical region is covered with 

 an exogenous shell-growth in the form of small papillae or 

 granulations. 



A.B., frequent ; B., very common.

This is almost essentially an Australian species. It has been 

 recorded off East Moncceur Island, Bass Strait, and in Curtis 

 Strait, Queensland, by Dr. H. B. Brady ; these localities, by the 

 way, are off the south and east coasts, and not the west coast of 

 Australia, as stated by that author. Millett records this species 

 from the Malay Archipelago and from Sagami Bay, Japan. 



B., very rare.
