sizes, from half a line to an iucli in diameter, which I dredged 

 in the ' Porcupine ' Expedition, off the north-west of Ireland, 

 at depths of 1230 and 1630 fathoms. A very young living 

 specimen of Cyprina Islandica I got in the same locality in 

 808 fathoms. 



The fry of /. cor was described by Professor Edward Forbes 

 as KelUa abyssicoJa, by Dr. Philippi as Venus'^ miUaris, and 

 by Professor M. Sars as Kelliella abyssicola.

 upper part of the posterior side, where there is a blunt angle, 

 formed by the junction of the dorsal side with that part, white, 

 covered with numerous minute and close-set tubercles, which 

 are arranged in longitudinal rows. The hinge is wanting.

Pecchiolia tor7iata\, Jeffr. 



Shell, although represented by several fragments, must 

 have been rounded, and larger than any known living species 

 except P. acuticostata. The present species, however, has no 

 ribs, but merely minute and irregularly scattered tubercles. It is 



* Rounded. t IiTegiilarly hunchbacked.
