*Polystomella macella, Fichtel & Moll., var. granulosa, 

 nov. (PI. 5, Fig. 5). 



Thi.s is an interesting variation, in which the limbatc 

 sutures are broken up into exogenous beads, and the 

 whole of the test is likewise covered with minute granules 

 or tubercles. The " fossettes " show quite plainl}- when 

 the test is damped, Two or three poor examples occur 

 at Palermo. Rather rare.

The tests are of a very pale milky-blue colour, slightly 

 transparent. The surface is polished, and the pores 

 hardly ai)parent under moderate powers. I have a note 

 from Mr. Millett, dated a few years ago, in which he 

 says " Goes figures specimens under this name from New- 

 foundland and Nova Zemlya. His figures are doubtful. 

 As a recent shell it had only been found in the Eastern 

 Archipelago until n^chi obtained it from Delos." 



Since this note, Mr. Millett reports its occurrence in 

 the Malay Archipelago, saying it is found in both areas, 

 and is abundant at stations 13, 18, and 21. I have also 

 examples from the l^ays of Salona and ICleusis. Very 

 frequent.
