somewhat excavated, with a small protuberance anteriorly; the base 

 is imperforate, the interior of the aperture brilliantly pearly; height, 

 9; maximum diameter, 9 mm. U. S. Nat. Mus. Cat. No. 21103. 

 Barbados, West Indies. 



MINOLIA AMBLIA, new species 



Shell small, dull purplish brown, polished, with about four depressed 

 whorls; suture distinct, not deep; spiral sculpture of obscure simple 

 small threads with wider interspaces over the whole surface ; there is 

 no obvious axial sculpture; base moderately convex with a narrowly 

 perforate umbilicus; aperture subquadrate, oblique; pillar white, 

 strong with a pustular prominence medially; peritreme simple; 

 height, 3.6; diameter, 5.0 mm. U. S. Nat. Mus. Cat. No. 362226. 



Uruguay, Dr. F. Felippone, (No. 3021). 



SOLARIELLA CROSSATA, new species 



Shell small, brilliantly polished, white, thin, with a bulbous sub- 

 spherical smooth nucleus and about four subsequent whorls; suture 

 distinct, the whorl in front of it depressed; axial sculpture of numer- 

 ous equal and equally spaced plications radiating straightly from the 

 axis but hardly reaching the periphery; these become more feeble 

 toward the end of the last whorl; the incremental lines are delicate 

 and silky; spiral sculpture of fine equal striation covering the whole 

 surface, more or less strong in different individuals; around the rather 

 wide funicular umbilicus is a strong more or less beaded cord with 

 one or two conspicuous grooves outside of it; walls of the umbilicus 

 finely spirally striated; aperture nearly circular, the margins thin, 

 sharp; internally nacreous; height of shell, 2.2; diameter, 4.2 mm. 

 U. S. Nat. Mus. Cat. No. 87358. 



Dredged by the United States Bureau of Fisheries Steamer Alba- 

 tross oft' Fernandina, Fla., in 294 fathoms sand, at station 2668, the

This is somewhat like S. adinophora but smaller and less elevated, 

 with feebler spirals. 



EMARGINULA PHRIXOOES, new species 



Shell small, oval, whitish, the apex vertically incurved, nearly ter- 

 minal, slit about one-fourth the anterior slope ; sculpture of about 30 

 equal radial ribs with slightly wider interspaces crossed by about 

 16 concentric lamellae forming a deep reticulation, the interstices 

 squarish, the intersections marked by very prominent blunt nodula- 

 tions; anterior slope c on vexly evenly arched, the posterior slope very 

 short and concave; interior white, the margin conspicuously denticu- 

 late; height, 3.5; length, 6; diameter, 4.5 mm. U. S. Nat. Mus. Cat. 

 No. 333734. 



Dredged by the late J. B. Henderson, jr., at his station 329, off the 

 Sambo Reef, Florida, in 120 to 135 fathoins.
