Typical Jorm. — Sucia Islands, C. F. Newcombe, 1894 : two specimens. 

 One of these, the original of figure 3 on Plate 45, is about forty-three 

 millimetres in height, has the outer surface much worn, and shews little 

 more on the outside than a few distant lines of growth The other, 

 which is about fourteen mm. high, is marked by numerous and close- 

 set minute spiral ridges, as well as by lines of growth. On the inside 

 both shew the " concave expansion of the incrusting layer of the inner 

 lip," which forms such a striking character in the genus Lysis, and con- 

 firm the suggestion made by Dr. White, in 1889, that the specimens 

 described and figured by the writer under the name Stomatia Suciensis 

 " belong to Gabb's genus Lysis."* 



Var. carinife7-a. — -Brennan Creek, Y . I. : two specimens, each with two 

 spiral keels on the outer volution. One of these is a somewhat crushed 

 specimen, some eighteen millimetres high and twenty and a-half wide, 

 the original of figure 4 on plate 45. Its two spiral keels are placed near to 

 each other, just below the mid-height, but on the outer lip each keel, or 

 ridge, is produced into a short, conical, slender spine. The other is a very 

 small specimen, about five mm. high, with the two spiral keels also 

 placed near to each Mother, a little below the mid-height on the dorsal 

 surface of the last volution. Texada Island, W. Harvey, 1901 : three 

 specimens, each with two spiral keels on the last volution. 



EuNEMA CRETACEUM, Whiteaves. 



Eunema cretaccum, Whiteaves. 1890. Trans. Royal Soc. Canada for 189.5, Second Series, 

 vol. I, sect. IV, p. 126. pi. 3, fig. 3. 



Original description and remarks. — " Shell small, imperforate, appa- 

 rently elongate turbinate, with the spire about equal in height to the 

 outer volution, as viewed dorsally, though the few specimens collected 

 so far are so crushed that their exact original shape is uncertain. 

 Volutions five or six, those of the spire step-shaped or shouldered, but 

 flattened somewhat obliquely next to the shoulder above, the outer 

 volution rounded and moderately ventricose below the shoulder ; suture 

 distinct and angular.
