 ginula Candida Ad. 



I am compelled to change the name of this shell as Candida has 

 been used several times in Emarginula. I fail to see that Nesta has 

 any generic characters. It is simply an Emarginula in which the 

 recurved apex is bent down more than usual.

Founded on E. cuvieri Aud. The animal is black, very volumi- 

 nous, mantle extending far over the borders of the foot and parti-
