CypR/EA Barclayi, Reeve. Proc. Zool. Soc, 1857, p. 208^ 

 pi. 38, fig. 4 



Cape St. Blaize bearing N. ; distant 30 miles; depth, 55 

 fathoms. (A single dead shell.) 



The type of this species, hitherto believed unique in Miss 

 Saul's collection (now in the Zoological Museum of Cambridge 

 University) was dredged by Sir David Barclay off the Island of 

 Diego Garcia. It is interesting to find a specimen, although a 

 dead one, in South African waters. 



Cypr/EA SIMILIS, Gray. Var. ? 



Nanquas Pk. bearing N. f W. ; distant 2 1 1 miles ; depth, 63 

 fathoms. (One specimen.) 



A peculiarly globose form, which may possibly represent a 

 distinct species, but pending the arrival of other specimens, it is 

 better to consider it a simple variety. 



Pedicularia SICULA, Swainson. 



94 miles off Cape St. Blaize, 116 fathoms. 

 A single specimen, identical in character with the Mediter- 

 ranean shells, but rather larger than any I have seen. 



TURRITELLA DECLIVIS, Adams and Reeve. Voy. Samarang, 

 page 48, 1 848. 



Glendower Beacon (near Port Alfred) bearing N. ^ W. ; dis- 

 tant 1 6i miles; depth, 66 fathoms; Great Fish Pt. Lighthouse 

 bearing N.W. ; distant 9 miles ; depth, 5 1 fathoms, etc. 



Cancellaria imbricata, Watson. Linn. Soc. Journal of 

 Zoology, Vol. XVI., p. 325. Moll. Challenger Expedition. 



A fine adult specimen, with peristome somewhat expanded 

 The shell is very like a large Admete, but the columella plaito 

 are much more distinct. 



ASTRALIUM Andersoni, Smith (Plate V., fig. 5). 



Astraliuni {Bolma) Andersoni, Smith. Journal of Conch- 

 ology. Vol. X., page 248, 1902. 



Lat. 32° 45' 45" S., Long. 28° 26 15" E., depth, 36 fathoms. 



Two specimens, the largest 65 tnillimetres in width, and nearly 

 6c in height ; the smallest 33 x 30. The large specimen 

 (figured) has a prominent keel at the basal angle of the body 

 whorl, which is armed with about 10 projecting, somewhat flat- 

 tened scales. The operculum is nearly white, smooth, much 

 thickened at the posterior end, and slightly concave in the 

 middle. This can hardly belong to the " Bolma " section, of 

 which Tarbo riigosiis, Linn., is the type, as the character of its 

 operculum is very different, but it probably belongs to the same
