Turbo acutus, Donovan ; Chemnitzia elegantissima, Forbes 
and Hanley. 
Habitat—In 10 fathoms on the Tan Spit, Cumbrae, in 
muddy sand and nullipore ;. only dead shells obtained. 
British distribution.—Scarce on the western coasts of 
Scotland; but Forbes and Hanley state that it is “by far 
the commonest of the Chemnitzize, being met with almost 
all round the coasts of the United Kingdom, though most 
abundantly on the southern and western shores.” 
Foreign localities—From Norway. (Savs, and others), 
throughout western Europe and as far as Mogador and the 
Canaries (M‘Andiew). It inhabits all the Mediterranean 
and Adriatic seas, and is recorded by Forbes from the Aigean. 
Odostomia Scillee, Scacchi. 
Melania Scillee, Scacchi ; Eulimella Scillze, Forbes and Hanley ;

Habitat—In 15 to 25 fathoms outside the Tan Spit and 
off Shellbole Bay, Cumbrae ; off Ascog, Bute; and Silver- 
craigs, Loch Fyne, in sand and nullipore. It is scarce in a 
living state, but dead shells and fragments are not uncommon. 
Mr. Norman has taken it off Tarbert, Loch Fyne. 
British distvibution.—Occasionally throughout the Scotch 
coasts, as well as on the north-eastern coast of England; but 
as it enjoys a considerable range southward, we may expect 
to find it on all our western and southern coasts. Its head- 
quarters in British waters are probably on the western coasts 
of Scotland. 
Foreign lecalities—Norway and Sweden (Lovén, and 
others), Brittany (Cailliaud), Spain, Portugal, Madeira, and 
Canaries (M‘Andrew) ; also Naples (Brit. Con. Supp.)

Little Cumbrae ; scarce—only three live specimens obtained. 
Mr. Robertson notes it from Tarbert, Loch Fyne, as well as
