A great number of specimens were caught; this species is jjerhaps more abundant than 



the foregoing; one. 



Crescis virgula and Creseis acicula exhibit many variations, and a large number of 

 distinct "species" has been distinguished, as may be seen from the list of synonyms. Souleyet, 

 however, already affirmed ^) that the difference between virgula and acicula consisted only in 

 the curvature of the shell, and Boas '^), after examining a great number of both species from 

 the Indian and Pacific (3cean, was of opinion that the forms virgula and acicula were only a 

 single species. The dorsally curved shell of virgula passes so gradually into the straight shell of 

 acictda, that it is almost impossible to say, where the limits are between the two species (See 

 in his work, pi. 6, fig. 94).
