Clioiic horea/is has a wide range as regards longitude, from 

 Novaya /emiya to the eastern coasts of North America. It is 

 said to a1)ound in arctic seas during the summer ami autumn, 

 and to be tlie ])rincipal food of the riglit ■vvhah\ 



It is the I'lioiic jyapilionaeea of PaUas, Clio llmacina of 

 Phipps, Clio refusa of MiiUer and Fabricius (not of Linne), 

 and Clio ^[i<]^^elonensis of Rang. The date of publication by 

 Pallas and Phipps is the same. Clione borealis was first 

 noticed and figured by Martens in his voyage to 8j)itzbergen 

 and Greenland, under the name of the " Sea May Fly." 



Since the publication in the ' Aimals ' of my former papers 

 on this subject I have had some additional information, and 

 become aware of a few slight omissions, which enable me to 

 add a short supplement. 



Montacuta Daiosoni. Newfoundland (Verkrlizen). 



Kellia symmetros. A single valve, much larger than the 

 s[)ecimen which I have described, was procured by Mr. Friele 

 in the recent Norwegian Expedition at a depth of 488 fathoms. 



Cadnlus tumi^Iosiis. A small variety was dredged in West 

 Norway by Professor G. O. Sars, who considers it a distinct 

 species, and pi-oposes to name it propinquus. 



Trochus umhiUcalis. Cape York, 10 fms., and Port Ken- 

 nedy (Walker). 



liissoa castauea. White Sea (Middendorff).

 respect to the Mollusca of the '■ Valorous ' Expedition.
