pallial tube extends further than in P. carinata. Sars pro- 

 posed for the present species the generic name of TypTiloman- 

 gelia, on account of its being eyeless. But Eulima stenostoma 

 is another instance of blindness among species usually provided 

 with organs of sight. 



P. 390. A fresh but dead specimen of P. galerita, Ph. (P. 

 galeritum, Moll. Sic. ii. p. 172, t. xxvi. f. 15) was dredged by 

 Carpenter and Thomson in 189 f., about 50 miles N. of the 

 Butt of the Lewis. It is a very rare Calabrian fossil. See 

 pi. cii. f. 6.

BODY creamcolour : pallial tube short : tentacles cylindrical, 

 short, and slender : eyes black, small but very distinct, placed

 front, and bluntly pointed behind.

 glossy : sculpture, a blunt keel in the middle of each whorl, 

 besides microscopic and close-set flexuous lines on the upper 

 part above the keel : colour milk-white : spire gradually tapering 

 to a blunt point : whorls 9, strongly angulated in the middle, 

 and somewhat excavated below the suture ; the last whorl occu-

 living and one dead specimen ; N. of Hebr., 189 f. (C. and T.). 

 E. Red and Cor. Cr. ; very rare (S. Wood and Alexander).
