Habitat Lanzarotam, et Teneriffam ; sub lapidibus in salmis 

 hinc inde degens. 



Several examples of a Truncatella which were taken by Mr. 

 Lowe and myself at the Salinas in the extreme north of Lanza- 

 rote (in company with the Auricula bicolor, Morelet) have 

 been identified by Mousson with Shuttleworth's T. Lowei ; and 

 the same species appears to have been met with also, by Blauner, 

 in Teneriffe. As already stated, however (vide p. 280), I feel far 

 from satisfied that the T. Lowei is more in reality than an almost 

 totally unsculptured phasis of the T. truncatula ; though as it 

 has been acknowledged as distinct both by Shuttleworth and 

 Mousson, I will not cite the two as conspecific. The T. Lowei 

 (judging from the examples before me) differs from even the 

 ' var. ft. Icevigata ' of the T. truncatula in being still more com- 

 pletely unsculptured, there being only the faintest traces of a 

 few obsolete pits and abbreviated hair-like lines towards the an- 

 terior edge of each volution ; and perhaps the volutions them- 

 selves are, if anything, a trifle less tumid.

Habitat Teneriffam ; a D. Me Andrew, sec. cl. Jeffreys, re- 

 perta. 



This minute European Assiminea, which occurs on the tide- 

 washed rocks in the Madeiras and Salvages, is stated by Jeffreys 

 (I.e. v. 102) to have been found by the late Mr. McAndrew at 

 Teneriffe ; but \ have not, myself, inspected Canarian examples.
