Turbonilla forniosa Verrill & Sinitli. 



Amer. Jouru. Sci., sx, i). 398, Nov., 1880. 



A few liviiig- examples of this elegant shell occurred at stations 891 

 and 892, in 487 to 500 fathoms. 



Turbonilla Smithii Verrill, sp. nov. 



Shell long and slender, smooth, polished, white, with a narrow spiral 

 band of light yellowish brown or red jnst above the suture. Whorls uj) 

 to twelve, much flattened, little oblique, closely coiled, with the sutures 

 onlj^ slightly impressed ; apical whorl small, incurved. Sculpture none. 

 Aj)erture irregular oblong-ovate; outer lip nearly straight for about 

 half its length, rounded and slightly prominent anteriorly. Columella, 

 lip nearly straight anteriorly, but curved inward and twisted posteriorly, 

 with a slight spiral fold that Avinds into the shell. Length, 7.5"""; 

 breadth, 1.5"^™. 



Stations 871, 873, and 876, in 100 to 120 fathoms. 



This elegant and very distinct species I have dedicated to Mr. San.- 

 derson Smith, of the United States Fish Commission party. 



Eulimella ventricosa (Forbes). 



G. O. Sars, op. cit., p. 209, pi. 11, fig. 19; pi. 22, fig. 16. 



A single dead specimen, not in good condition, but apparently belong- 

 ing to this species, was dredged by us at Eastport, Me., in 18G8. A 

 I>erfect specimen was dredged by us this season, at station 873, in 100 

 fathoms. This last has a distinctly incurved, small, nuclear whorl; 

 whorls nine, smooth, polished, white, well roundetl, with deep sutures. 

 Aperture broad-ovate, slightly effuse in front. Outer lip broad, well 

 rounded in the middle and i^rojecting well forward. Length, 3.6"'™. 



Odostomia uiiidentata (Mont.). 



G. O. S'lrs, op. cit., it. 201, }}l. 11, figs. 6-8. , 



Odostomia modesta Stimpson. — Gould, Invert. Mass., ed. ii, j). 327, fig. 596. 



A single specimen occurred at station 871, in 115 fathoms. This shell 

 appears to be much more rare on the American than on the European 

 coasts. 



Odostomia (Menestho) sulcata Verrill, sp. nov. 



Shell small, white, long-ovate ; spire regularly tapered, acute ; whorls 

 about six, moderately convex, covered with many regular, rather strong, 

 revolving grooves. Nuclear whorl strongly intiexed and reversed. 

 Aperture regularly ovate. Ko tooth on the columella. Length, 2.80'"™; 

 of body-whorl, 1.80"""; breadth, 1.40'"'"; IcDgth of aperture, 1.10'""; its 

 breadth, .70'"'". 



Stations 871 and 894, in 115 and 365 fathoms. 



This differs from all other related species of our coast, except 0. 

 striatuhi Couth. (= MencstJio alhula Gould, non Fabr.), in being strongly 

 grooved spirally ; from the latter it differs in ha\ing fewer whorls and 

 a regularly tapered, acute spiie, and in having the spiral lines coarser 

 and fewer. Perhaps it in more closely related to the real Menestho
