  sliape, 
  and 
  a 
  long 
  triangular 
  left 
  shell-lobe. 
  The 
  left 
  dorsal 
  

   lobe 
  in 
  two 
  distinct 
  parts, 
  the 
  posterior 
  one 
  sniall 
  ; 
  lobe 
  

   over 
  nmcous 
  gland 
  must 
  be 
  elongate 
  in 
  life, 
  but 
  not 
  so 
  long 
  

   as 
  in 
  K. 
  phtedunus 
  &e. 
  The 
  visceral 
  sac 
  is 
  quite 
  plain 
  and 
  

   unspotted 
  over 
  the 
  branchial 
  cavity 
  ; 
  at 
  the 
  kidney, 
  which 
  is 
  

   sieniia-bfuwn, 
  there 
  are 
  a 
  few 
  fine 
  black 
  spots, 
  and 
  a 
  short 
  

   black 
  band 
  borders 
  this 
  oryan. 
  Towards 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  apical 
  

   whorls 
  there 
  is 
  indistinct 
  whdish 
  mottling. 
  It 
  is 
  quite 
  distinct 
  

   from 
  the 
  species 
  sent 
  with 
  it 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  locality. 
  

  

  I 
  refrain 
  from 
  dissecting 
  the 
  single 
  specimen 
  received, 
  

   yet 
  name 
  it 
  provisionally 
  K. 
  orientalis, 
  for 
  of 
  this 
  and 
  the 
  

   next 
  species 
  more 
  examples 
  are 
  required, 
  both 
  of 
  shell 
  and 
  

   animal, 
  to 
  come 
  to 
  a 
  satisfactory 
  conclusion 
  as 
  to 
  their 
  

   distinctness 
  and 
  nearest 
  allies. 
  

  

  jBurnup's 
  note 
  lo 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  as 
  follows: 
  — 
  "There 
  

   appear 
  to

  2

  but 
  there 
  should 
  be 
  no 
  difficulty 
  

   in 
  deciding 
  which 
  animal 
  belongs 
  to 
  each

  Animal 
  pale-coloured 
  in 
  alcohol,

  a 
  long 
  pointed 
  lobe 
  

   at 
  extremity 
  of

  The

   in 
  the 
  penis-shaft 
  ; 
  the 
  accessory 
  gland 
  is

  Spermatheca 
  

   on 
  a 
  short

  Unfortunately
