AET. 18 SMALL SHELLS DREDGED BY '* ALBATROSS ' ' BAT J, 95 



meter of 1.75 mm. U. S. Nat. Mus. Cat. No. 333517. It may take 

 the varietal name of dinea. 



TRIPHORA (STROBILIGERA) GAESONA, new species 



Shell slender, white, acute, straight sided, except that the anterior 

 edge of the whorls slightly overhangs the succeeding suture; proto- 

 conch white, smooth, swollen, comprising about 2 turns, with 16 or more 

 subsequent whorls; spiral sculpture not prominent, including 2 flattish 

 threads between the periphery and the succeeding suture with the 

 peripheral edge of the base forming a simple thread at the suture; the 

 incremental lines though very fine are rather evident, and there are 

 very fine spiral striae in the interspaces; the whorls between the 

 periphery and the preceding suture are slightly excavated; the base 

 is flattish with flexuous incremental lines and a spiral groove near 

 the outer edge, the canal is very short, with a callous deposit but no 

 sulcus where the inner lip joins the body; the outer lip is defective 

 in the specimen. Length of whole shell of 16 whorls, 9; maximum 

 diameter, 1.8 mm. U. S. Nat. Mus. Cat. No. 108341. 



Off Georgia; a worn but larger specimen measures 12 by 2 mm. 

 without the protoconch. 



TRIPHORA (STROBILIGERA) ENOPLA, ncv. species 



Shell slender, cylindrical, white, with an inflated protoconch of a 

 whorl and a half and about 18 subsequent whorls; suture distinct, 

 not channeled; spiral sculpture of 2 equal and equally spaced beaded 

 cords with the prominent beads feebly linked in pairs by low axial 

 ridges, not arranged in continuous series up the spire; other axial 

 sculpture of faint incremental lines, more prominent on the moder- 

 ately rounded base; on the base within the edge are 2 strong minutely 

 crenulated spiral cords; aperture ovate, a rather heavy callus on the 

 pillar, the sutural sulcus shallow and inconspicuous, the outer lip 

 thin, the canal very short. Length, 1 1.5; maximum diameter, 2 mm. 

 U. S. Nat. Mus. Cat. No. 108074. 



Oft' Ferna^ndina, six specimens and fragments. 



The cylindrical form is very marked, as well as the prominence of 

 the beads, of which on the penultimate whorl there are about 18. 



TRIPHORA (STROBILIGERA) METEORA, new species 



Shell small, slender, white, acute conical, with a conspicuously 

 inflated smooth protoconch of 2 whorls and 12 subsequent whorls; 

 suture obscure, rather oblique; spiral sculpture, on the earlier whorls 

 of 2, later of 3 beaded cords, the posterior cord less prominent, the 

 2 anterior equal, the beads more or less linked in pairs by inconspicu- 

 ous axial ridges, but not serially continuous up the spire; the beads 

 are prominent, rather close-set and the interspaces very narrow ; there 

 are about 18 beads on the anterior cord of the penultimate whorl; 

 the (immature) base is flattish with a fine groove just inside the edge,
