Mr. J. G. Jeffreys on British Mollusca, 47 



was one of the captors of this prize, in company with Dr. Dickie 

 and Mr. Hyndnian, and that all the specimens (about a dozen in 

 number, of different sizes) were taken, in one haul of the dredge, 

 from the Turbot-bank, a little north of the mouth of Belfast Bay, at 

 a depth of about 20 fathoms. All the specimens appear to have 

 been much water-worn, and deprived by friction of nearly every trace 

 of those basal grooves and apical ribs which are observable in fresh 

 specimens. The spire is rather shorter, and the whorls consequently 

 are more swollen than in Norwegian specimens which are to be seen 

 in the British Museum ; Mr. M'Andrew having also kindly sent me 

 some from the North Sea. The typical form appears to be allied to 

 the Buccinum minus of Philippi. 



Fusus antiquus, iii. 423. Barmouth. This appears to be the 

 southernmost known limit for this species, as well as the northern- 

 most for Venus chione.

Amphisphyra globosa, Lov. Ind. Moll. Sc^nd. Occid. p. 11. 



A single specimen only was discovered by Mr. Barlee in dredging 

 off Skye last year. It agrees fairly with Loven's description ; but 

 he has not noticed the delicate, flexuous, longitudinal grooves which 

 are discernible under a high magnifying power. The colour of the 

 shell, when covered with the epidermis, is rufous brown. Owing to 

 its expanded aperture, it has somewhat the appearance of a Velutina. 

 As it has not yet been figured, I thought a drawing (PI. II. fig. 6) by 

 that excellent and accurate artist, Mr. J. de C. Sowerby, would be 

 acceptable.
