170 PYRAMIDELLID^. 



ITaritat : Muddy sund in 12-87 f., Shetland and 

 west of Scotland ; Abcrdeensliire (Dawson) ; Whitburn 

 (Abbes and Jlowse,fide Alder); Berwick Bay and off 

 Coquet Island (Mennell) ; Larne, co. Antrim (Ilynd- 

 man and AValler), perhaps fnmi a post-glacial dei)()sit; 

 Land's End (llockin). Of the variety Mr. Barlee 

 dred«»ed one specimen, and I another, in the Hebrides ; 

 it may be a distinct species. The typical form is fossil 

 at Gravina in South Italy (Scacchi) , and Palermo (Phi- 

 lippi). Taken on many parts of the Scandinavian coast 

 from Finmark to Bohuslan, in 15-200 f. (Loven and 

 others), Croisic in Brittany (Cailliaud), Madeira, in 

 18-24 f., and the Canaries, in 20 f. (M'Andrew). 



When crawling, the animal trails its long^ shell hori- 

 zontally behind it. The upper portion of the spire is 

 now and then twisted a little on one side, as in species 

 of Eulima. 



I named this well-marked shell Eulima crassula, and
