22 PHILINE. 
Philine velutinoides Sars, Moll. Reg. Arct. Norv., 1878, p. 302, 
pl. 26, f. 10a—e. 
The wideness of the upper part is peculiar and unusual, and lends 
much probability to the view that Utriculus ventrosus Jeffr. (Dia- 
phana ventricosa Jeftr., Vol. XV, p. 284) may be the same. In 
that case, velutinoides will become a synonym of Jeffreys’ species. 
P. povaris Aurivillius. Pl. 3, figs. 59, 40. 
Shell very thin, fragile, pellucid, oblong-ovate ; whorls 3-4. Aper- 
ture ample, expanded at base, contracted above, the outer lip more 
appressed than in P finmarchica. Surface covered with spiral, very 
delicate pairs of lines, scalloped chain-wise. Alt. 3, diam. 2°5-2 
mill. Radula with the formula 2°1:0°1:2, laterals and uncini eden- 
tulous, of equal length. (Auriv.). 
N. of Siberia, lat. 73° 5’, E. long. 144° 20’, and 73° 28’, 164° 10’, 
8-9 fms. 
P. polaris Aurtv., Vega-Exped. Vetenskapliga Iaklagelser, iv, 
pp. 371, 380, pl. 12, f. 21, 22 (shell) ; pl. 13, f. 18 (radula). 
Shell has most similarity to P. finmarchica. but the radula is more 
like that of P. quadrata except that the laterals apparently have 
no serrate crest. A more proper grouping of the species geograph- 
ically would bring it among the N. Pacific forms, but faunally the 
Arctic Sea is allied more to the N. Atlantic. 
P. MEMBRANACEA Monterosato. 
I do not know that a description or figure of this form has been 
published. The diagnoses of Mediterranean forms of Tectibranchs 
and Polyplacophora in Carus’ Prodromus Faunz Medit. are such a 
maze of blunders that the work is not worth quotation; but this 
form is not mentioned therein. 
Coast of Algeria 207 fms. (Jeffr.); Gulf of Naples (Acton) ; 
Palermo 60-90 meters (Monts.). 
P flecuosa Sars, Monts., Nuova Rivista, p. 48; Enum. e Sinon., 
p- 52. Not P. flexuosa M. Sars.—P. membranacea Monrts., Bull. 
Soc. Mal. Ital., vi, p. 78. 
P. srRiaTULA Jeffreys. 
Resembles P. punctata Clark in size, but differs in the spire, sys- 
tem of sculpture and the more dilated aperture. (Monts.).
