pallial tube extends further than in P. carinata. Sars pro- 

 posed for the present species the generic name of Typhloman- 

 gelia, on account of its being eyeless. But Eulima stenostoma 

 is another instance of blindness among species usually provided 

 with organs of sight. 



P. 390. — A fresh but dead specimen of P. galerita, Ph. (P. 

 galeritum, Moll. Sic. ii. p. 172, t. xxvi. f. 15) was dredged by 

 Carpenter and Thomson in 189 f., about 50 miles N. of the 

 Butt of the Lewis. It is a very rare Calabrian fossil. See 

 pi. cii. f. 6.

 living and one dead specimen ; N. of Hebr., 189 f. (C. and T.). 

 F. Red and Cor. Cr. ; very rare (S. Wood and Alexander).
