Alt. 3'55, diam. 1 mm. 



Hah. — Station 346, Burdwood Bank, 56 fathoms. 



A smal] species, but distinguished, as the specitic name chosen would show, by 

 its very attenuate, fusiform whorls, the last three or four swollen, caudate, shining, 

 smoothly costulate, not spirally crossed with granose lirje, as are the lower whorls ; the 

 columella is only slightly rostrate, the outer lip thin, the colour whitish straw. But 

 few examples occurred. [nuKpos ovpa, long-tailed.)

Hah. — Shore, Hearnden Water, Falkland Islands. Station 349. 



As mentioned in our first paper, we issued a description of this species in 1907, 

 using, at Dr H. Strebel's request, the name he had given it in manuscript. The 

 following year it was redescribed by him as " sp. nov.," and we are of opinion that he 

 had not at that time seen our paper. The same remarks would apply also to Troplion 

 minutus, M. and S. 



Family Turritellidie.

Hah. — Trawl, Burdwood Bank, south of the Falklands, at 56 fathoms. Station 346. 



Very small, but apparently quite adult. Conspicuous for a distinct and prominent 

 median keel, the three last whorls also being provided with a minor spiral lira below, 

 and the body whorl, between the strong median keel and the base, possessing three such 

 spiral lirations.
