siPHO. 127 



Var. STRIATUS, Reeve. Fig. 31*7. 



Approaching S. Sai'nii and S. ventricosus. Reeve's figure is 

 different enough to be a distinct species from Stimjysonii, but I 

 possess a good series of intermediate forms. 



S. TURGiDULUs, Jeffreys. PI. 52. figs. 314, 315. 



Shell very thin, white, under a thin yellowish olive epidermis. 

 Length, 47-56 mill. 



iV". Atlantic Ocean, 290 to 400 fathoms (Porcupine Exped, ). 



S. ScHANTARicus, Middcudorff. PI. 52, fig. 31G. 



Shell opaque, thick, spirally Urate, canal very short. 



Length, 72 mill. 



Sea of Ochotsk. 

 S. TOGATus, Morch. PI. 52, figs. 318, 319. 



Thin, epidermis coriaceous, at the intersection of the revolving 

 and incremental strire sometimes ciliated. Length, 48 mill. 



Arctic Seas; civcvimijolar. 



Several authors identify with this species the unfigured Fusus 

 Sabinii^ Gri'^y? described in the Gonchology of Parry's Voyage ; 

 others have identified it with Buccinofusus Berniciensis^ King. 

 I very much doubt the distinctness of S. turgidulus from togatus. 

 S. Ppaffii, Morch. PI. 52, fig. 320. 



Thin, fragile, ros}' white ; epidermis brown, membranaceous, 



ciliated ; spirally striated, decussated by growth strij:e. 



Length, 57 mill. 



Jacobshavn, Greenland. 



Mr. Gwyn Jeffreys refers this, together with tortuosus, Spitz- 



bergensis and Ehur to S. Sabinii, Gray, with which he also 



identifies togatus, Morch. He says, " The epidermis is usually 



smooth ; but in one of my specimens it is finely and closely 



ciliated. The comparative length and curvature of the canal are 



variable characters," 



S. LiviDus, Morch. PI. 52, fig. 321. 



AVhitish, encircled by narrow, flat lira^ and narrower interstices ; 

 epidermis olivaceous ; lip slightly expanded. Length, 50 mill. 



Newfoundland. 



Morch mentions the resemblance of this species to Spitzber- 

 gensis, Reeve {=: Buccinofusus terebt'alis,, Gld.), the type of
