The sutures are linear. Whorls about thirteen or fourteen. The 

 lip is concave above and convex below. There are several very 

 fine impressed lines indicating former lips, irregular in position 

 either on the right or left side or on both. Keeve's figure being 

 small and poor, I have given a camera drawing of a specimen from 

 San Pedro Bay, No. 72,674 of the Academy's collection. Car- 

 penter reports this species from Puget Sound, Vancouver, Cataline 

 Island, 30-40 fms. ; Sta. Barbara and San Diego. The specimen 

 figured measures alt. 11.4, diam. 3.2, length of aperture 3.2, 

 breadth 1.9 mm. 



Eulima rutila Cpr. PL XI, figs. 5, 6. 



Similar to E. mieans, but smaller, more slender and with five 

 very fine varices, three on the right and two on the left side. The 

 specimen figured is from San Diego, No. 57,264 of the collection 

 of the Academy of Natural Sciences, and measures alt. 6.41, 

 diam. 1.83, length of aperture 1.91, breadth .83 mm. The 

 Academy has also one tray of this species from Scammon's Lagoon, 

 Lower California. 



Carpenter thus describes Eulima (? var. ) rutila Cpr. : "Shell 

 similar to young E. mieans, but more terete, highly polished, rosy 

 and livid tinted, nuclear whorls as in E. mieans ; following whorls 

 10, elongate, very slender, base and aperture greatly prolonged; 

 columella more twisted; lip very sinuous, a callus running back- 

 ward above the suture, lip narrow. 



"Long. 26, long spir.l9, lat .07 [^6.5, 4.75, 1,75 mm.], div. 

 20°.
