are more uniform, instead of the former predominating, making it appear 

 reticulated like R. testae, just as I find in one of the Porcupine specimens from 

 the Atlantic, off Scilly. I have previously noticed the tendency of Scillonian 

 Kissoae to run coarse. 



Jeffrey's figures in the Porcupine Report, which are otherwise godti, 

 show fine spiral sculpture on the lower part only, of each whorl ; but these 

 spirals should appear throughout the three sculptured whorls, the apex being 

 smooth and polished. The species is very variable as regards the sculpture, 

 some specimens ha\ing little or no traces of longitudinal ribs, but the fine 

 spirals are always present throughout. 



It may be considered a decidedly deep-water species, its Mediterranean 

 range being 10S-310 fathoms ; but in the Porcupine Expedition it occurred at 

 depths exceeding 1000 fathoms. The Scilly record of 40 fathoms must, 

 therefore, be considered exceptional 



Some other notes by me regarding this species will be found in the 

 " Journal of Conchology " for January and April, 1895.
