possession, and is the only ‘live’ one of the specimens from which the 
form was named. 
2. Evurrma Cotttsi, n.sp. Pl. XIV, Fig. 8. 
Shell conical, thin, transparent, very glossy, with the upper whorls 
usually a trifle distorted ; sculpture none ; colour white; whorls 
10 or 11, rapidly increasing in breadth, flattened, the sutures being 
inconspicuous, and the last whorl measuring about two-fifths of the 
length of the shell; protoconch moderately blunt; mouth piriform, 
being pointed above, the columellar margin slightly reflexed. Alt. 4:1, 
diam. max. 1:2 mm. 
Hab.—Guernsey, in 10 fathoms, with Z. cncurva. 
A very puzzling form, which has had various names from different 
students. It is the /. incurva, var. Wonterosatoi, of Mr. Marshall’s 
paper, but on a specimen being sent to the Marquis of Monterosato, 
that authority marked it as unknown to him. Very closely related to 
the varieties of 4. iewrva, and with a very similar animal; but the 
present form is broader, the protoconch is a trifle wider, and the earlier 
whorls increase more rapidly in breadth. The proportional length of 
the last whorl is also different, but this may not be a really constant 
character. While this may eventually prove to be a form of the very 
variable EL. incurva, I have felt that it was sufliciently distinct to 
prove worthy of a name, after carefully comparing my ‘live’ specimens 
(about 15 to 20 in number) with about 150 ‘live’ specimens of that 
species. The name given is after that of a painstaking dredger in the 
Channel Islands, by whom my specimens were obtained.!

Hab.—Roundstone (coll. Chaster); the Minch, 65 fathoms. 
The specimen figured is one from Roundstone. Thanks to the 
kindness of Mr. Tomlin, I have been able to examine the Minch 
specimens recorded by Mr. Marshall as . ephamilla. They are 
certainly not that species, and are, I think, only giant forms of 
LE. compactilis.” 
This is not the Hulima obtusa, Jeffreys, as has been suggested ; the 
latter is broader at the apex, larger, and has the mouth more drawn 
out to the side. 
1 It is with the deepest regret that I record the death, on August 25th, 1903, of 
James Charles Collins, at the age of 33. He was well acquainted with the 
dredging-grounds off Guernsey, and had attained considerable skill in collecting 
on the shore the larger molluscs, such as Lima and Galeomma.
