192 A. E. Verrill — Mulhisca of the Nexo England Coast. 



left of the central line, so that tlie sliell is a little one-sided, with the 

 lateral slope on the right side longer and more gently sloping than 

 on the left. 



Length of shell, across aperture, 20""" ; greatest breadth, 1 8""" ; 

 height, 9""" ; front margin to apex, 20™"'. 



The animal resembles that of Capnliis Hungaricus, but the mus- 

 cle by which it is united to the shell is far less developed. The ten- 

 tacles are large, stout, blunt, with well developed eyes on a basal 

 swelling. There are two large plumose gills situated in a large cer- 

 vical cavity and attached on the left side, but extending entirely 

 across the back of the neck, so that the tip of the larger gill is 

 visible back of the right tentacle. The foot is rather small, in 

 the alcoholic specimen, and has the anterior corners produced into 

 short obtuse auricles. The dorsal part of the animal is moderately 

 convex and does not show, in the preserved specimen, a subspiral 

 form corresponding to that of the shell. The apical portion contains 

 a large cluster of ova, which is distinctly visible through the integ- 

 ument. 



Station 2062, near Le Have Bank, oif N. S., on rocky bottom in 

 150 fathoms. One living specimen (No. 35,274). It was associated 

 with Primnoa reseda and other arctic forms. 



This species has not been previously recorded as living in the 

 Noith Atlantic, south of Iceland, unless P. radiatum Sars, from 

 West Finmark, be a variety of it. It was originally described from 

 Okhotsk. Friele records it from oft' Iceland, in 290 fathoms. It 

 occurs in the post-pliocene at Uddevalla, and in the Coralline C'rag 

 of England (as Captdus fallax S. Wood, t. Jettreys). 



G-YMNOG-LOSSA. 

 Eulimella lucida Veniii, sp. nov. 



Plate XXXTT, fkuires 3, 3a. 



Shell rather large for the genus, long and slender, with a tall, reg- 

 ulnrly tapered, acute spire, composed of about eleven whorls besides 

 the nucleus, which is small, prominent and strongly upturned. 



The whorls are much flattened and but little convex. The suture is 

 distinct, but scarcely at all impressed, especially on the upper half of 

 the spire, and not very oblique. The surface is everywhere very 

 smooth and polished, with a very brilliant luster, without any sculp- 

 ture whatever, and with oxcecdingly indistinct lines of growth. 

 The aperture is almost regularly ovate, narrowed posteriorly, where
