CHORISTES-HOMALOGYRA. 399 



smooth; whorls 4-5, very convex, with deep suture; lip simple, 

 everted partially over the umbilicus. Length, 6 mill. 



Off Martha's Vineyard, Mass. ; 255 fms. 



Recent specimens agree well in form and structure with the above 

 named Canadian post-pliocene fossil ; they are, however, somewhat 

 larger, and thinner, and Verrill has accordingly given them the 

 varietal name of TENERA.

H. ATOMUS, Phil. PI. 61, figs. 4-6. 



Discoidal, planorbiform, very widely umbilicated, spire depressed 

 rather thin, semipellucid, smooth, slightly arcuately striate, some- 

 what shining ; whorls 4, convex, rapidly enlarging, with deep suture;

It is Skenea nitidissima, Forbes mid Hanley, If. simplex, Costa.

H. ROTA, Forbes and Hanley. PL 61 fig. 7. 



Discoidal, flat above and concave below, very smooth, subpellucid, 

 shining, with short radiating ribs above and below, enlarging and 

 curving from the sutural line, and not extending to the periphery, 

 whorls 3, convex, with deep suture. Diam. 5 mill. 



Europe. 



H. pulchella, and H. paueicostata Costa, and Adeorbis costatus, 

 AVeink. are synonyms.

Planorbiform, semitransparent, glossy, nearly flat above, concave 

 below, with close-set incremental strise, finally becoming microscopic;

Off Newfoundland, 1622 fins! Cape Hatter as, N. C. 7-17 fms. 



The last locality is for tikenea trilLr, Bush, which appears to me 

 to be a better grown condition of Jeffreys' species.
