Turbonilla formosa Verrill & Smith. 
Amer. Journ. Sci., xx, p. 398, Nov., 1880. 
A few living Eenplee 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, esther white, with a narrow spiral 
band of light yellowish brown or red just above tie suture. Whorls up 
to twelve, much flattened, little oblique, closely coiled, with the sutures 
only slightly impressed; apical whorl small, incurved. Sculpture none. 
Aperture 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 een ‘is 
with a slight spiral fold that winds 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. 
Eulimelia ventricosa (Forbes). 
G. O. Sars, op. cit., p. 209, pl. 11, fig. 19; pl. 22, fig. 16. 
A single dead specimen, notin good condition, but apparently belong- 
ing to this species, was dredged by us at Eastport, Me., in 1868. A 
perfect 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 rounded, with deep sutures. 
Aperture broad-ovate, slightly effuse in front. Outer lip broad, well 
rounded in the middle and projecting well forward. Length, 3.6"". 
Odostomia unidentata (Mont. ). 
G. O. Sars, op. cit., p. 201, pl. 11, figs. 6-8. 
Odostomia modesta Stimpson.—Gould, Invert. Mass., ed. ii, p. 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 inflexed and reversed. 
Aperture regularly ovate. No tooth on the columella. Length, 2.80""; 
of body-whorl, 1.80"; breadth, 1.40"; length 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 O. 
striatula Couth. (= Menestho albula Gould, non Fabr.), in being strongly 
grooved spirally; from the latter it differs in having fewer whorls and 
a regularly tapered, acute spire, and in having the spiral lines coarser 
and fewer. Perhaps it is more closely related to the real Menestho
