BODY whitish, having a closely veined structure when ex- 

 amined microscopically : mantle folded at the upper corner of 

 the mouth of the shell : snout rather short, deeply bilobed : 

 tentacles leaf- like and proportionally large : eyes minute, close 

 together at the inner base of the tentacles : foot large, double- 

 edged and slightly auricled in front, deeply notched and bi- 

 lobed behind ; these lobes are equal in length and size, and 

 resemble the tail of a swallow. 



SHELL more slender than 0. obligua, covered with very 

 numerous microscopic spiral striae, those at the base being 

 much stronger and more conspicuous, the apex obliquely trun- 

 cated, and the umbilicus deep. L. 0*1. B. O05. 



HABITAT : Muddy sand, 50-80 f., N.E. and W. coasts of 

 Shetland. E. Naples, Taranto, and Sicily (Tiberi and Ste- 

 fanis) ! See also localities given in p. 143. Animal remark- 

 able for the forked extremity of the foot. It swims or floats, 

 like other small Gastropods, under the surface of the water ; 

 in which position the tentacles and lobes of the snout are not 

 unlike those processes in Jeffreysia. One individual spun a 

 delicate glutinous filament from the foot, and kept itself sus- 

 pended for some time in the water, with the point of the shell 

 downwards. 0. acicula has the same habit.
