4292 Mr. E. A. Smith on Gasteropoda 
Hab. Off Cape Blunt, lat. 41° 41! N., long. 141° 0! E., at 
a depth of 35 fathoms. 
On the upper volutions four or five of the spiral lirations 
are considerably thicker than the rest, and on crossing the 
longitudinal plications are faintly nodulous. On all the five 
examples of this species there is what appears to be a luteous 
deposit ; but this may be the vestige of an epidermis. The 
lines of growth are very distinct, and on crossing the spiral 
lirations make them somewhat scabrous. 
27. Fusus (Sipho?) manchuricus, sp. nov. 
Fusus manchuricus, A. Adams, MS. 
Testa ovato-fusiformis, sub epidermide luteo-olivacea rufescens ; 
anfractus 8 convexiusculi, plicis longitudinalibus arcuatis circiter 
12 (an anfr. ultimo ad medium evanidis) instructi, ubique lineis 
impressis supra costas continuis, in anfr. superioribus 8-10, in 
ultimo 20-25 ornati; apertura superne aliquanto ovata, versus 
basim in canalem latiusculum, perobliquum et recurvum producta, 
intus rufescens, longitudinis totius } sequans ; columella valde 
tortuosa, superne rufescens basique alba; labrum tenue ; opercu- 
lum ovatum, nucleo vix terminali. 
Long. 27 mill., diam. 11; apertura long. 133, diam. fere 5. 
Hab, Lat. 42° 58' N., long. 145° 24’ E., 48 fathoms, sand 
and mud. 
This species is entirely clothed with a yellowish olive epi- 
dermis, beneath which the shell appears to be of a reddish 
colour. ‘The plications or ribs are a trifle narrower than the 
interstices between them. The above name is attached to 
some specimens in the Cumingian collection ; but I have been 
unable to find in what work Mr. Adams has given the de- 
scription. 
28. Columbella tenuis, Gaskoin. 
Hab. Endermo Harbour, 4 to 7 fathoms, sandy mud. 
The specimens which are associated with the above name 
have been compared with Gaskoin’s type, which is in the col- 
lection of the late Mr. T. Lombe Taylor.
