Conch.-Cab. 2nd ed. vni. pt. 2, p. 141, xxxvi. 5, 6. Hab. 

 Mediterranean. — Mr. Lowe got, in Labra near Punta de Sao 

 Lourenco, in 1829, one valve of an Area in crevices of a 

 stone with Gorgonia. It differs from all the other Madeiran 

 species, and I feel constrained to accept his determination of it. 



22. Area tetragona, 1795, Poli, Test. Utr. Sicil. n. 137, xxv. 12, 

 13 : Gwyn Jeffreys, Brit. Conch, n. 180, iv. 5 a ; & v. 176, 

 xxx. 6. Hab. From Finmark to the Mediterranean and 

 the Canaries. (M., L., INT., Jn., W.) Everywhere, very com- 

 mon, but scarcely ever full-grown. 



23. Argiope decollata, 1784, Chemnitz (as Anomia), Conch.-Cab. 

 Vin. 96, lxxviii. 705 : Gwyn Jeffreys, Brit. Conch, n. 18 ; & 

 v. 164, xix. 3. Hab. From Guernsey to the ^Egean and the 

 Canaries. (M., L., Jn., W.) Very common.

 ii. 1 ; Woodward, Man. Moll. p. 200, pi. xiv. 21-23.— A 

 pelagic species. Everywhere; Madeira and Porto Santo. 

 Common. 



27. Atys Jefregsi, 1868, Weinkauff (as Cylichna), Conch. Mit- 



telm. ii. 199 ; Monterosato, Numenclatura, p. 145 (as 

 Roccaniella). — No good figure exists of this species. Brocchi, 

 who {teste Philippi) erroneously identified it with Bulla 

 ovulata, Lam., gives a figure which resembles B. redacta, 

 Desh., much more than it resembles either the B. ovulata, 

 Lam., or the Mediterranean or Madeiran species. Jeffreys'a 

 figure (Ann. & Mag. 1856, vol. xvn. 188, ii. 18, 19), though 

 better, is not characteristic. The B. semistriata, Desh. Coq. 

 foss. Paris, II. 44, pi. v. 27, 28), offers as good a representation 

 of this species as any I know. — Hab. Mediterranean. (N., 

 Jn., W.) Everywhere ; excessively common.
