Mio7nelon of 1907 to make a comparison advisable. At any rate 

 Locard's shell has nothing to do with Latirus. 



Proscaphella Ihering, June, 1907, is a synonym of Miomelon Dall, 

 February, 1907. A genus named by me Calliotectum in 1889, and 

 supposed to belong in the Pleurotomidae, proves to belong to the, 

 Volutidae. Some magnificent species, closely related, were obtained 

 by the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries steamer Albatross in deep water 

 in the Philippines.

Genus LYRIA Gray. 



Lyria Gkat, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, fox* 1847, p. 141 ; type, Vohita nucleus 

 Lamarck. Not Liria (from Liri of Adauson) Gray, Philos. Mag. and 

 Joiu-n., 1824. 



The different derivations of Liria and Lyria fortunately prevent 

 the necessity of regarding them as homonyms; in which case we 

 should have been obliged to substitute Ofocheilus Conrad, 1865, for 

 Lyria Gray.

 Burns, and others. U. S. Nat. Mus. No. 165063. 



In my paper in the Transactions I refrained from giving a new 

 name to this species, of which the specific name is preoccupied as 

 above indicated, thinking the late Professor Heilprin might rename 

 it himself, but as he did not do so I now substitute another. 



The young of this species is very close to Z. harpula Lamarck, but 

 the adults develop marked distinctions.
