Taranis Morchii, var. tornatus Veniii, nov. 



Two specimens from station 2077, in 1255 fathoms, arc somewhat 

 stouter than those previously obtained, and have the principal carina, 

 forming the shoulder, larger and more prominent than usual, but it 

 bears only very minute tubercles, corresponding to the very fine and 

 close riblets which cross the wide and abruptly sloping subsutural 

 band obliquely, and are about twice as numerous and much finer 

 than in the ordinary variety. On the last whorl there are about six 

 prominent, distant, revolving cinguli below the shoulder, besides 

 some faint ones on the base of the canal ; the space between the 

 uppermost of these and the shoulder-carina is greater than usual. 

 The lines of growth are much finer than in the ordinary form and 

 do not take the appearance of riblets on the last whorl, nor do they 

 render the cinguli nodulous. The suture is sharply impressed, and 

 the raised revolving line usually present just below the suture is 

 absent. This form, therefore, is characterized by the relative pre- 

 dominance of the spiral sculpture over the transverse, and by the 

 absence of distinct nodnles at the crossing of the two systems of 

 lines.

Miss Bush has recorded this species from Labrador, at Henley 

 Harbor and Dead Island, in 1 to 8 fathoms. 



The figure referred to represents the same form as that which was 

 described by me from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and which has been 

 referred by Whiteaves and others to S. Spitzbei'gensis.

 Tritonofusus cretaceus Bnsh, Proc. IT. S. Nat. Miis., vol. vi, p. 238, 1883. 



Miss Bush has recorded this species from Labrador, in 3 to 10 

 fathoms. 



A comparison of our American shell with specimens of the true 

 7. Kroyeri, from the coast of Norway, sent to me by Dr. Friele, 

 shows that they are two entirely distinct species.
