it ends in a slight sutural notch ; anteriorly it is evenly and obtusely 

 rounded. The outer lip is sharp, evenly arched, and projects consid- 

 erably forward in the middle ; in front it is somewhat produced and 

 flaring, but passes into the columella-lip in a regular curve ; the col- 

 umella-lip is regularly excurved, with the outer margin somewhat 

 everted. There is no umbilicus. Color translucent pinkish white.

 fathoms. One living specimen. 



This species is closely related to E. charissa, but it is larger and 

 stoutei', with a decidedl}'- larger nucleus, and with more flattened 

 whorls and a less distinct suture, and it has a smaller number of 

 whorls in the same length. It is remarkable for its smoothness and 

 brilliant polish, in this respect resembling Eulhna. 



Eulimella charissa Verriii, sp. nov. 



Plate XXXII, figures 4, 4«, 4&. 



Shell small and delicate, translucent white, very slender, with the 

 spire attenuated toward the upper end and very acute, composed of 

 about eleven whorls. 



The apical whorl is very small, strongly upturned and reversed; 

 the succeeding whorl is scarcely larger. The suture is slightly but 

 distinctly impressed and not very oblique. The whorls are moder- 

 ately convex in the middle, though somewhat flattened. The surface 

 is nearly smootti and brilliantly polished, without sculpture, except 

 fine, microscopic, and rather indistinct, flexuous lines of growth, 

 usually most evident close to the suture. Aperture ovate, narrowed 

 to a point })Osteriorly, Avhere it terminates in a shallow, sutural 

 notch ; the outer lip is moderately and regularly convex, projecting 

 forward in the middle, slightly produced and a little flaring in front; 

 it blends with tlie columella-lip in a regular curve ; the columella- 

 margiu is regularly excurved, and forms a sinuous curve with the 

 edge of the bodj^-whorl. No umbilicus. Color translucent white, 

 sometimes with a tinge of pinkish. 



Length, 5-6"""; breadth, 1-8""". Other specimens are somewhat 

 more slender than the one measured. 



Station 2038, in 2033 fathoms, with the preceding species. Four 

 specimens, three of them living. 



This species is very similar to the preceding, but is distinguished 

 by its smaller size and much more slender spire, having a greater
