This very remarkable shell differs altogether from all those in 

 the same genus with it, as follows ; the upper whorls are not cos- 

 tate, the strice are very closely placed and remarkably fine, the 

 aperture is very elongated, the teelh are set on the outer edge of 

 the lip, the callus does not reach the suture of the body whorl, 

 and the transverse striae are punctate. 



These shells, for there are two of them, are all the more inter- 

 esting in consequence of having been dredged from the ground en 

 which many of the rarest and most curious, as well as the most 

 beautiful, sponges were found. Hyaloncma cebucnsis, T. Higgin; 

 Meyerina clavlformls, Gray ; Rossella philippinensis, Gray ; and 

 Labaria hemlsplhTrica, Gray ; have all been received by jNIr. Martin 

 himself, from this locality, and are in the Free Public Museum of 

 Liverpool. It is also well known as the birth-place of the lovely 

 Eiiplectdla aspergillum of Owen. 



Limax gagates at Hastings. — In the latter part of July, 

 my valued correspondent. Miss Fairbrass, of Faversham, sent me 

 amongst some other mollusca taken by her at Hastings, a living 

 specimen of a slug that she was not able satisfactorily to identif}'. 

 This on examination proved to be Limax gagates of Drap., and 

 adds another locality to those recorded for this local species.
