Distribution. — Iceland to the coast of Spain, Mediterranean, and 

 West Africa. A Tertiary fossil. 



By a process of conjecture it might be possible to settle to which 

 cruise and what stations the Museum specimens, some of which are 

 ' live,' belong, but the result would probably be more injurious 

 than helpful. Jeffreys suggests that P. Loveni, Malm., may be only 

 a variety.

"Porcupine" Expedition, 1869, Station 23« ; 1870, Station 45; 



Adventure Bank, 92 fathoms. 



Distribution. — Bay of Biscay (Jeffreys) ; Palermo and St. Vito, 

 90-200 metres (Monterosato). 



Only two fragmentary specimens from Adventure Bank, named by 

 the Marquis de Monterosato. 



This species, like so many briefly diagnosed and unfigured forms, 

 has an unfortunate history. Mons. Locard has identified, from two 

 specimens which he states were named by Jeffreys, quite a different 

 form to that preserved in the Britisli Museum from the " Porcupine" 

 collection. The latter is now figured from the small specimen from 

 Station 45, referred to by Jeffreys. Under these circumstances the 

 shell figured and described by Mons. Locard requires a new name, 

 and I propose that of P. Taiismani (nom. nov.). 



Another box in tlie Museum is labelled " 27, 28, 28«, Falm. to Gib."
