A specimen that I suppose to be the young of this species is a 
small, very thin, translucent, pale yellow, smooth shell, with an acute 
spire, a very*small, regularly spiral nucleus, five convex whorls, im- 
pressed suture, and excavated columella-lip. The whorls are evenly 
rounded and with faint traces of shallow spiral lines, no undulations. 
This was dredged by Messrs. Smith and Harger, on Le Have Bank, 
60 fathoms, in 1872. This may possibly be the young of B. hydro- 
phanum. 
Leche (op. cit. p. 59) has referred Gould’s B, céiliatum to “B. 
ovum Turton,” which he also unites to B. Daleé (= Liomesus Dalet 
Stimp., 1865,* or Buecinopsis Dalei Jeffreys, 1867), but this is doubt- 
less an error.

* I take this opportunity to state that Zvomesus Stimpson should be retained for 
this genus, instead of Buccinopsis Jeffreys (Brit. Conch., iv, p. 297, 1867). The former 
was established in 1865 (Review Northern Buccinums, p. 4), on account of peculiarities 
of the dentition, which were stated, and B. Dalei was cited as the type. Jeffreys erred, 
therefore, in saying that the genus was not defined by Stimpson, as he also did in 
objecting to the meaning of the name, which clearly refers to the smoothness of the 
median plates of the radula,—not to the smoothness of the shell, as Jeffreys imagined. 
Liomesus eburneus (Sars) has, according to the figures of G. O. Sars, the same character 
of dentition given as distinctive of the genus by Dr. Stimpson,
