Urosalpinx macra Verrill, sp. nov. 
The shell is nearly regularly fusiform, consisting of seven whorls, 
separated by an impressed suture. The spire is somewhat elongated, 
regularly tapered, and forms one-half the length of the shell. The 
nucleus is mamilliform, consisting of about two regularly coiled, 
convex, rounded whorls, of which the first is nearly as large as the 
second, The lower whorls are crossed by about ten broad, strongly 
marked, nodulous ribs. The spiral sculpture consists of stout, 
rounded, rather elevated, revolving cinguli, which rise into oblong 
nodules or tubercles in crossing the ribs; of these there are about 
eight on the body-whorl, besides five or six on the siphon without 
nodules. On the penultimate whorl there are five or six primary 
cinguli, of which two or three around the periphery are considerably 
larger and farther apart than the others; one, below these, is coinci- 
dent with the suture and makes it undulating. Between the primary 
cinguli there are three to five much smaller rounded cinguli, sepa- 
rated by thin, incised grooves; these cinguli are about equally prom- 
inent on the ribs and interspaces and do not form nodules. The 
surface is also covered with fine, close, raised lines of growth, except 
on the nodules, which are smooth at summit. The aperture is ovate, 
continued anteriorly in a rather long, narrow canal, and having a 
slight posterior notch or sinus at the suture. The outer lip is sharp 
and regularly arched; the inner lip is strongly excavated, its curva- 
ture posteriorly being greater than that of the outer lip. Columella 
rather elongated, straight, with a somewhat sinuous inner margin. 
The canal is straight, somewhat elongated and constricted. Color 
yellowish white ; interior grayish white. 
Length, 137"; breadth, 5°5"™; length of aperture, 7°57"; its 
greatest breadth, 2°5™™.

Sipho hispidulus Verrill, sp. nov. 
Shell small, short, broad-ovate, with a rather short, bluntly tapered 
spire, obtusely rounded at the tip, and with a swollen body-whorl, 
constituting the greater part of the shell. Whorls four, rapidly 
enlarging, convex, with a distinctly carinate, angular shoulder above 
the middle, above which there is a concave subsutural band, sepa- 
rated from the suture by an angular, interrupted revolving ridge, 
next the suture. Besides these two nodose, revolving carinz, there
