 armature, and the systematic position of the

species, therefore, remains doubtful ; if it really 

 be a Plectopylis it will in all probability be 



found to belong to the section Sykesia. "Mr. Sykes 

 has doubtfully suggested (Proc. Malac. Soc. 

 London, iii. (189S), p. 71) that it belongs to the 

 genus Sitdlu ; but I do not think this is probable. 

 In the same work (p. 277, t. 4, f. i) Dr. Jousseaume 

 described another shell which he also places in 

 Plectopylis, i.e. P. eugenii. In this case also no 

 mention is made of armature ; moreover, the figure 

 given, which I have copied for convenient reference 

 (see fig. 92), does not at all give the idea of a 

 Plectopylis, and I agree with Mr. Sykes in thinking 

 that it may belong to the genus Kaliella. 



Note. — By an oversight fig. 78/ on page 74 has 

 been placed upside down.
