188 PKOCKEDINGS OF THE MALACOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Clathurella puepukea (Montagu). 

 Murex purpureas, Montagu: Test. Brit., p. 260, pi. ix, fig. 2. 

 Clathurella purpurea, Montagu: Kobelt, p. 359. 



"Porcupine" Expedition, 1870, Stations 35, 50, Gibraltar Bay, 

 3 fathoms. 



Bidrihution. — Atlantic seas from Norway to South England ; 

 occasionally in the Mediterranean. A Tertiary fossil. 



The specimens from the two first-mentioned stations were identified 

 by Mr. J. T. Marshall as belonging to his variety minor. 



Clathurella reticulata (Renier). 

 Murex reticulars, Eenier: Tavola Alf., 1804, p. ix. 

 Clathurella reticulata, Renier : Kobelt, p. 351. 



"Porcupine" Expedition, 1870, Stations 51, 56; Rasel Amoush, 

 45 fathoms; Adventure Bank, 92 fathoms (with var. htspida, Monts.). 



Distribution. — From England south to the Mediterranean. A 

 Tertiary fossil. 



Raphitoma attenuata (Montagu), 



Murex attenuatus, Montagu: Test. Brit., vol. i, p. 266. 

 Raphitoma ( Villiersiella) attenuatum, Montagu : Kobelt, p. 380. 



"Porcupine" Expedition, 1870, Station 50; Vigo Bay, 20 fathoms; 

 Rasel Amoush, 45 fathoms ; Adventure Bank, 92 fathoms. 



Distribution. — Jutland and Sweden to the Mediterranean, also 

 Teneriffe. A Pliocene fossil. 



It may be convenient to mention here some specimens from 

 Station 17 of the cruise of 1870. They are very close to attenuata, 

 and may prove to be identical, but the protoconch is different, being 

 dome-shaped rather than cylindrical, and they show other minor 

 variations. Their condition is not good, and I have therefore not 

 named them. 



Raphitoma brachystoma (Philippi). 

 Pleurotoma brachystomum, Philippi: Enum. Moll. Sicil., vol. ii, p. 169, 



pi. xxvi, fig. 10. 

 Raphitoma {Gimiania) brachystomum, Phil,: Kobelt, p. 378.

 Adventure Bank, 92 fathoms. 



Distribution. — From Norway to the Mediterranean and ^gean. 

 A Tertiary fossil. 



Jeffreys notes in his manuscripts that Pleurotoma cycladense 

 (Forbes), Reeve, is a synonym; it is given specific rank by 

 ]Dr. Kobelt. The form is not in the British Museum, and I am 

 unable to throw any light on the question. 



Raphitoma laevigata (Philippi). 

 Pleurotoma loivigatum, Philippi: Moll. Sicil., vol. i, p. 199, pi. xi,
