with a pinkish, or lilac, tint, whilst the whorls (at any rate 

 from the dorsal line upwards) are for the most part densely 

 ornamented with narrow spiral bands of a browner hue ; though 

 with the nucleus itself prominent, and (like the peristome) more 

 decidedly rosy.

The Pedipes afra, which is so common in the Madeiran 

 archipelago, and which occurs also at the Azores as well as on 

 the coast of Africa, is abundant on the sea-washed rocks at the 

 Great Salvage, from whence it has been obtained by the Baron 

 Paiva. The examples from the Salvages do not appear to differ 

 from those of Madeira.

Habitat Salvagem Grandem ; in locis similibus ac prsece- 

 dens, et una cum illo degens. 



Examples of the Madeiran M. exiguus were obtained by 

 the Baron Paiva from the Great Salvage, where it appears to 

 occur, in company with the Pedipes afra, the ' var. 7. albes- 

 cens ' of the Auricula cequalis, the A. Watsoni, the Trunca- 

 tella truncatula, and the Assiminea littorina, on sea-washed 

 rocks. I can detect no difference between the Salvages speci- 

 mens and those from Madeira, except perhaps that the roseate, 

 or somewhat lilac, tint is, on the average, a little more strongly 

 expressed in them.
