Dr. Jeffreys (Brit. Conch., iv, 359) refers to this species 

 Columbella rosacea, Gould (Manual, v, 160), a shell which does 

 not appear to me to be nearly related to it.

 it sloping, below the periphery there are several raised cinguli 

 forming inferior carinations, crossed throughout b} 7 flexuous, 

 narrow longitudinal plications ; whitish. Length, 4'5 mill. 

 Norway to Mediterranean Sea ; off Newport, R. /., 



365 fms. (Verrill) ; Gulf of Mexico, 805 fins. (Dall).

 Bela demersa, Tiberi. 



D. PULCHELLA, Verrill. PL 29, fig. 63. 



A smaller species than the preceding, not so sharply angu- 

 lated, the carinse sharp but not nodulous, those- on the body- 

 whorl six in number, besides one or two on the canal. 



Length, 2-20 mill. 



Off Martha's Vineyard, 487 fms., one specimen. 



Dr. Dall thinks this may be included in the preceding species, 

 as European specimens of D. Morchi sent to him by Dr. Jeffreys 

 and Prof. Sars, appear to agree with it pretty well.
