ODOSTOMIA, EULIMA, 79 
Treland, and on the western and northern coasts of Scotland 
as far north as Shetland. On the east coast Alder catalogues 
it as taken at Whitburn by Messrs. Abbes and Howse; and 
Messrs. Leckenby and Marshall record it as one of the few 
members of this genus taken on the Dogger Bank. 
Foreign localities—Including its varieties this species 
ranges throughout northern and western Europe to the 
Mediterranean, Adriatic, and Aigean Seas. 
Odostomia nitidissima, Montagu. 
Turbo nitidissimus, Montagu ; Pyramis nitidissimus, Brown ; 
Aclis nitidissima, Forbes and Hanley. 
Habitat—I have seen (but was unable to verify) a single 
specimen in Mr. Robertson’s cabinet, taken off the Horse 
Island, Ardrossan. Mr. Norman states that he took one 
example in Millport Bay, and Dr. Landsborough records it 
from Lamlash. 
British distribution.—Throughout our seas from 5 to 30 
fathoms; a very scarce shell. 
Foreign localities. — Mangerfiord, Norway (Lilljeborg), 
Drébak, Christianiafiord (Jeffreys), western France (Cail- 
liaud), Gulf of Lyons (Marti), Spezzia (Jeffreys), Adriatic 
(Brusina). 
FamiILy Evutmipe, H. and A. Adams. 
Evia, Risso. 
Eulima polita, Linné. 
Turbo politus, Linné ; Strombiformis albus, Da Costa ; Turbo 
albus, Donovan ; Phasianella polita, Fleming; Eulima 
Anglica, Sowerby. 
Habitat—In 8 to 25 fathoms in muddy sand, nullipore, 
and dead shells; rather common, but fine adult specimens 
are scarce. I have taken it off Craigmore, Ascog, and Gar- 
roch Head, Bute; on the Tan Spit and off Shellbole Bay, 
Cumbrae, where it is fine and somewhat common; and off 
Moll Dhu and Silvereraigs, Loch Fyne, but very sparingly. 
Mr. Norman reports it as rare throughout the Clyde district. 
My largest specimens barely measure 7ths of an inch long, 
and are from Cumbrae. 
British distribution—Throughout all our seas; by no 
means rare. 
Foreign localities—Norway (Sa7's, and others), Spain and 
Portugal (M‘Andrew), Mediterranean (Payraudeau, and 
others), Agean (Fortes).
