222 BELA. 



the alternate ones rather larger ; aperture lanceolately ovate ; 

 canal rather long, straight. Length, 6 mill. 



Cape Artimesium, Coast of Asia Minor, 80 fms. (Forbes). 

 This species (evident^ immature) has not been obtained since. 



B. FIDICULA, Gould. PI. 32, fig. 17. 



Whorls seven, broadly shouldered ; about twenty -four longi- 

 tudinal plications, crossed and decussated by more crowded 

 delicate revolving lines; dirly-white. Length, *45 inch. 



Puget Sound. 

 B. SUBLUTA, Gould. PI. 33, fig. 18 ; PL 34, fig. 75. 



Shell thin, turreted, with elevated spire ; whorls seven or eight, 

 slightly round-shouldered ; there are twelve obtuse ribs not quite 

 reaching the sutures, the interstices showing evanescent, epi- 

 dermal, revolving lines ; pale ash, stained with light yellowish 

 brown, tip of beak and interior dark chestnut, with a narrow 

 white fascia. Length, 10 mill. 



Habitat unknown. 



This shell is possibly Patagonian ; it has the peculiar appear- 

 ance of the Magellanic molluscan fauna. 1 think that the Pata- 

 gonian B. Cunninghami, Smith (fig. 75), will prove to be a 

 synonym. 



Unfigured and undetermined species of Bela. 



B. PLICIFERA, Wood (Crag Mollusca.) This species has, according 

 to Leche, been found living. The original figure and descrip- 

 tion will apply sufficiently well to a dozen recent forms, and 

 the identification of it must therefore be considered very 

 doubtful.
