the second. It has been got in the south of England by Mr. Jef- 

 freys, Professor E. Forbes, and Mr. M'Andrew, but some little dif- 

 ference of opinion appears to exist as to what species it ought to 

 be referred to, or whether it is undescribed. We have, therefore, 

 thought it neeessary to insert a description. 



Two specimens of this interesting addition to our Fauna have 

 been found at Whitburn by the Rev. Gr. C. Abbes, and one, much 

 worn, was dredged oft' the same place by Mr. R. Howse. 

 6. C. MACANDREi, Fovbes. 



Eulima Macandrei, Forbes, in Ann. Nat. Hist. xiv. 412, 

 t. 10, £ 2. 



Two specimens have been got from the fishing boats at Whit- 

 burn, by the Rev. G. C. Abbes, and one by Mr. R. Howse, who 

 has also dredged it alive in seventeen fathoms water at the 

 same place. 



This and the preceding species have been referred to Eulima,

 the genus Eulimella, but we prefer considering them to belong 

 to Chemnitzia, from which they only differ in the more polished 

 surface of the shell. The apical nucleus, and the form of the 

 aperture, indicate their place in this genus, independently of the 

 animal, which, according to our observations, is essentially the 

 same in each.

Much misunderstanding exists with respect to this species and 

 the Turbo plicatus of Montagu, which no two conchologists, ex- 

 cepting where one has copied the other, have described alike- 

 The description of Montagu is sufiiciently characteristic of our 

 shell ; but Dr. Fleming reverses the two, with the remark that
