292 BEV. E. B. "WATSON" ON THE 



Santo, 40 to 50 fins. One stained valve. — The locality 

 whence my specimen came is not a place where ballast is 

 thrown out, and the presence of the species in Mr. John- 

 son's collection, as also at the Canaries and Mogador, 

 compels me unwillingly to admit it as Madeiran. I do not 

 believe, but cannot disprove. 



Mangelia, see Pkurotoma. 



161. Marginella guancha, 1839, d'Orbigny, Moll. Canaries, p. 88, 



vi. 32-34. Hub. Canaries. ( Jn., W.) From the North 

 coast. — McAndrew gives it as " frequent " in Madeira, but 

 his specimens, both in bis best collection at Cambridge and 

 in that at the British Museum as well as those he sent me, 

 are all marked as from " Canaries." The solitary specimen 

 I got from Madeira was in sand from deep water on the 

 north coast ; probably, therefore, not a wanderer, but it 

 remains solitary. In Mr. Johnson's collection also only one 

 specimen presented itself.

Hob. From Portugal to Mediterranean and Mogador. 



(M., L., Jn., W.) Everywhere; common. 

 M. Philippi (sic), a species given by Sen. Nobre as of Monterosato, 

 who says that it is the M. minuta, Phil. Enum. n. 197, xxvii. 23 (but 

 not of Pfeiffer), is one which I am quite unable to identify among any 

 I know as Madeiran. M. ccslata, which Monterosato gives in his 

 ' Nomenclatura,' p. 139, as Madeiran from me, is a species I have been 

 accustomed to reckon as M. miliaria, L., differing only in colour. 

 Some confusion seems to exist here.

 {teste McAndrew's List corrected propria manu and his

* A five years' priority over the Mathilda of Semper has been claimed for 

 the name Cinyulina of Adams, but no sinistral-tipped shell can pass under 

 Adams's definition. See ' Challenger ' Gasteropoda, p. 499.
