was referred by M< Andrew and Barrett to Pectunculus 

 pygmceus of Philippi, and by Sars to his P. minutus. But 

 the last named species (of which L. pygmcea is probably 

 the younger state or a variety) is very much smaller than L. 

 borealis, although stronger and more solid ; it has a less ab- 

 lique outline, more numerous striae (which present the same 

 beaded or granulated appearance as in L. aurita), and fewer 

 teeth ; and the inside edge is closely crenellated, instead of 

 having a row of tubercles placed within the edge, which is 

 plain and sharp. L. abyssicola of A. Adams, from 136 f. off 

 the Cape of Good Hope, is allied to the present species, 

 but is more closely cancellated, and the marginal notches 

 are finer and more numerous. I have a small living speci- 

 men of L. pygmcea from Corsica.
