130 DR JAMES COSMO MELVILL AND MR ROBERT STANDEN ON THE 



Judging from figure and description quoted above, this interesting Bela is identical 

 with specimens found at Seymour Island, GrahamlancI, by the Swedish expedition. 



Bela fulvicans, Strebel. 

 Bela fulvica7iit, H. Strebel, Schwed. Sudpolar Exped., p. 15, Taf. ii. fig. 25 a-d (1908). 



Hah. — Burdwood Bank, from Sponge, at 56 fathoms. Station 346. 

 An imperfect, bleached specimen seems, from the sculpture, to be the above 

 species, which occurred both in South Georgia Islands and in Grahamland. 



? Tliesbia sp. 



Hah. — Burdwood Bank, from Sponge, at 56 fathoms. Station 346. 



One example, more imperfect than the preceding, of a bleached shell, showing 

 faint flexuous oblique longitudinal costellation, mouth narrow oblong, whorls fairly 

 smooth, hardly impressed at the sutures. Dimensions : long. 13, lat. 5 mm. It 

 is quite impossible to differentiate it further. 



Savatieria concinna, sp. n. (Plate, fig. 17). 



S. testa ovato-fusiformi, compacta, solidula, sulipellucente, albida, anfractibus 6, quorum apicales 

 duo Inilbosi, vitrei, nitidi, perlreves, ceeteris apud suturas inipressis, subventricosis, loiigitudiiialiter arete 

 costulatis, costis crassiusoulis, gemniatis, ultimo anfractu infra medium evanidis, deiiule ad basim spiraliter 

 sulculoso, uumero costularum anfractus ultimi circa 22, apertura ovata, labro simplice, columella paruni 

 incrassata, caiiali vis prolongata. 



Long. 4-55, lat. 2 mm. 



Hah. — Trawl, Burdwood Bank, Station 346, 56 fathoms, December 1, 1903. 



Saratieria is a small genus, peculiar to these regions, diagnosed by Eochebrune 

 and Mabille. It is nearly allied to Bela, differing principally in the abbreviated 

 canal, whorls peculiarly impressed suturally, and more distinct elaboration of 

 sculpture. Several species have lately been published by Dr Hermann Strebel, 

 and to one of them, S. molinie, our species is akin, differing mainly in sculpture, 

 being supplied with nearly double the number of longitudinal ribs, while the 

 gemmate beading is more pronounced in S. concinna. Only one example, happily 

 in first-class condition at the time of description, was procured, though unfortunately 

 it was accidentally broken at the mouth before it could be figured. We consider that 

 Lachesis meridionalis, E. A. Sm.,* is synonymic with Savatieria Tnolime, Strebel, 1905, 

 and has priority of twenty-four years over it.
