354 Rev. Canon Norman—A Month on 
works it is evidently, I find, that species; the only difference 
is that in my specimen, as compared with Middendorff’s 
fig. 9, the raised spiral portions of the shell are wider and 
the grooved lines narrower. As to the exact locality of my 
specimen, nothing can be satisfactorily determined. 
The species is not mentioned in the voyage of the ‘ Sama- 
rang;’ Schanter Island is certainly to the north of Japan, 
but whether Adams was ever there or not is uncertain; as 
surgeon of one of H.M. ships he may have gone there. 
The shell must unquestionably be referred to the genus 
Ukko, and possibly may be, as Jeffreys considered, an extreme 
form of U. Turton’; but its characters are so marked, and I 
lay chief stress on the spiral grooving of the inside of the lip, 
that it may well bear a specific name. 
Whorls 9; total length 77 millim.; greatest breadth 
33 millim.; length of mouth and canal 35 millim.; length 
from commencement of lip to end of spire 46 millim. Com- 
paring these measurements with Middendorff’s figure it will 
be found that the spire in my example is longer in proportion 
to the mouth than in the type. The whole appearance of 
form, amount of convexity of whorl, and obliquity of suture, 
together with surface sculpture, are like those of typical 
U. Turtontin miniature. ‘The differences are that the nucleus 
is not so cylindrical, each succeeding whorl being wider than 
the preceding ; the epidermis is thinner and closely adherent 
to the shell; the shell is proportionately more solid, the spiral 
grooves are more deeply impressed, while the most important 
character is that the mouth within the shell is lirated with 
spiral grooves and ridges corresponding to the external 
sculpture—“ apertura intus ad strias externas regulariter et 
parallele sulcata”’ (Middendorff). ‘The operculum is imperfect, 
but enough remains to show that it is like that of the type of 
the genus. 
27. Neptunea antiqua, Linn. 
One dead example. 
28. Stiphogracilis, DaCosta, var. glaber, Verkruzen. (PI. XVI. 
figs. 4, 4 a.) 
A dwarf and remarkable form of this variety was found. 
Volutions 64. Length 37 millim., breadth 19 millim. ; 
length of mouth and canal 21 millim. Whorls only slightly 
convex, suture not deeply impressed and only a little oblique, 
no spiral sculpture to be seen even in the neighbourhood of 
the columella ; epidermis of a pale greenish-ash hue.
