PROCEEDINttS OF THE MALACOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Distrihulion. — From Norway to the Cape of Good Hope, also East 

 Africa, and Mediterranean. 



Mr. Pilsbry's note as to the difficulty of separating from this species 

 the forms described from Eastern seas appears to be thoroughly 

 justified. Jeffreys states that he has been unable to find conchological 

 distinctions between the present species, that recorded from the 

 "Challenger" as P. orientalis, Ad., the P Anrja.n oi Crosse, and the 

 P. Vaillanti of Issel, In specimens from the Baltic he also notes that 

 the spire is visible. 



Live specimens are in the museum from " Station 9," but without 

 any indication as to which cruise they are from.

My specimens, identified by the author, are not in sufficiently good 

 condition to warrant an endeavour to describe and figure the form, 

 which seems to rest only on the published name, and is not mentional 

 by Mr. Pilsbry in the "'Manual."
