CYLICHNA. 413 



expanded and rounded : outer lip gently curved ; the upper 

 part projects beyond the apex or crown ; this latter part is 

 considerably contracted, and encircled by a solid rim, and it 

 exhibits a very small opening through which part of the 

 involute spire is indistinctly visible : inner lip usually slight, 

 but thickened in older specimens, a little reflected below: 

 pillar short, and furnished with a small slight tooth-like fold 

 near the base ; it is somewhat curved to the left. L. 0*125. 

 B. 0-06. 



HABITAT : On the same kind of sea-bottom as the 

 last species, in 30-50 f., Loch Fyne and the west coast 

 of Scotland (Barlee and J. G. J.) ; off" Larne, co. Antrim, 

 and outside the Dogger bank (J. G. J.) ; Berwick Bay 

 (Johnston, as Bullaumbilicata)', Banff (Edward,./^ Gor- 

 don); Aberdeenshire coast (Dawson) ; Shetland (Barlee

SHELL oblong, not so much attenuated behind as the last 

 species, more solid, nearly opaque, and glossy but not pris- 

 matic : sculpture, slight and sometimes wavy spiral striae or 

 impressed lines, which vary in strength and remoteness on the 

 body, and are more or less close-set near the base ; they 

 are visible in fresh specimens by means of a low magnifying- 

 power, but are not easily observable in rubbed specimens 

 picked out of drift sand : epidermis brownish-yellow, liable to 

 peel off : colour creamy, becoming bleached and white in dead 

 shells: mouth somewhat open at the top, contracted and 

 narrow in the middle, pear-shaped and wide at the base, 

 where it is expanded and rounded: outer lip gently curved; 

 the upper part is obliquely truncated, but it does not project 

 so far beyond the apex or crown as in the last species : apex 

 twisted and somewhat contracted, encircled by a solid white 

 rim (periompTialus, Loven), and exhibiting a perforation in the 



* Umbilicate, or provided with a navel.
