BULIMININAE 349 



Single specimens only, all of the short form as figured by us (fig. 13), in 1920 lit 

 supra. The texture of the shell is somewhat coarser than is usually the case, but we have 

 met with British specimens of similarly rough construction. Cushman's species is based 

 upon the "minute type" which we figured first from Clare Island in 1913, and subse- 

 quently (in 1920) identified as V.pusilla, Goes. Cushman states (C. 1910, etc., FNP, 

 191 1, p. 57) that he has examined the Types of Goes, and finds that they do not fit his 

 description or figures at all well. He regards the Types as specimens of V. polystropha 

 (Reuss). As the dimensions given by Goes for V. ptisilla (length o-5o-o-66 mm.) are 

 very much greater than those of our form (o- 17-0-30 mm.) we feel compelled to abandon 

 the attribution to J', pusilla and to accept the new specific name.
