The callosity of the outer lip and the twist of the columella 

 are much more developed than in the preceding species ; it is, 

 however, most closely allied and perhaps scarcely specifically 

 separable ! 



3. Bissoina woodmasoniana, n. sp. 

 1 Andamans [type] ; coll. J. Wood-Mason, Esq. 



A single living specimen of this remarkable new form was 

 dredged by Mr. Wood-Mason, if I remember rightly, in deep 

 water. Nine whorls, cylindrical and "needle-like," the apical 

 three smooth and colourless, the others longitudinally closely 

 ribbed, ribs thick, flexuous and irregular ; of a uniform brown 

 colour throughout ; columella straight, aperture contracted, 

 subangulate at base, not notched, resembling that of species 

 of Zippora.
