422 Mr. K. A. Smith on Gasteropoda 



Hah. Off Cape Blunt, Lit. 4P 41' ^'., lon<;. ur 0' E., at 

 a depth of 35 fathoms. 



On the upper vohitions four or five of the spiral li rations 

 are considerably thicker than the rest, and on crossing the 

 longitudinal plications arc faintly ni^lulous. On all the five 

 examples of this species there is what appears to be a luteous 

 deposit ; but this may be the vestige of an epidermis. The 

 lines of growth are very distinct, and on crossing the spiral 

 lirations make them somewhat scabrous.

 Ftmts maitchuricus, A. Adams, MS. 



Testa ovato-fusiformis, sub epidermifle hitco-olivacca rufL'sccns ;

 12 (in anfr. ultimo ad medium ovanidis) instructi, ubiquo lineis 

 iraprcssis supra costas continuis, in anfr. superioribus 8-10, in 

 ultimo 20-25 ornati ; apertura suporne aliquanto ovata, versus 

 basim in canalcm latiusculum, pcrobUquum et recurvum prodacta, 

 intus rufosccns, longitudinis totius ^ a^quans ; columella valde 

 tortuosa, supcrue rufescens basiquc alba ; labrum tcnue ; opercu- 

 lum ovatum, uuclco vix tcrrainali.

Hab. Lat. 42° 58' N., long. 145° 24' E., 48 fathoms, sand 

 and mud. 



This species is entirely clothed with a yellowish olive epi- 

 dermis, beneath which the shell appeal's to be of a reddish 

 colour. The plications or ribs are a trifle narrower than the 

 interstices between them. The above name is attached to 

 some specimens in the Cumingian collection ; but I have been 

 unable to find in what work ^Ir. Adams has given the de- 

 scription. 



28. Cohimhella tenuis^ Gaskoin. 



Hab. Endermo Harbour, 4 to 7 fathoms, sandy mud. 



The specimens which are associated with the above name 

 have been compared with Gaskoin's type, which is in the col- 

 lection of the late ]\Iv. T. Lombe Taylor.
