25. Admete viridula, Fabr. 



Rodberg, 10-70 fath. 



Genus Ukko, Friele (new name for Jianala, Friele). 



Herr Friele gave the name Jumala to this genus after that 

 of an ancient Finnish god, unaware that Jumala was their word 

 still in use for the one true God. My friend Herr Sparre 

 Schneider, of Troraso, having informed me that this was the 

 case, and as under these circumstances the word could not 

 with propriety be retained, I called Herr Friele's attention 

 to the fact. At his request I substitute for it Ukko, tlie 

 name once used among the Fins for the heathen god of wind 

 and weather. 



26. Ukko Tuj-foni, Bean. 



A living specimen of a very interesting variety of this 

 species was dredged at Rodberg in about 150 fath. In out- 

 line it is shorter and less drawn out in the spire than usual, 

 the volutions are 7^ and more tumid. The nucleus is smaller 

 and less cylindrical than in the type, the suture less oblique, 

 the whorls more rapidly increasing in breadth, the spiral 

 striffi more regularly arranged at distinct intervals, the sub- 

 stance of the shell is thinner, the interior is of a purplish hue. 

 There are three modifications of this shell known to me : — 

 A. «. The typical Dogger-Bank form, with its greatly drawn- 

 out spire, well figured by Forbes and Hanley, also by Jeffreys, 

 and very nearly the same by G. O. Sars (pi. xiv. fig. 3 b, and 

 pi. XXV. fig. 9). The following are measurements of a speci- 

 men from the Dogger Bank * : — Length of mouth from 

 commencement of lip to end of canal 54 millim. ; spire from 

 commencement of lip to end 72 millim.; greatest width of 

 total shell at the mouth 40 millim. Volutions nine. 



b. Var. brevispira (PI. XVI. fig. 1 ; see also Kobelt, Icon, 

 der schalent. europ, Meeresconch. pi. xiii. fig. 1). Form from 

 East Finmark. Mouth proportionately longer and wider and 

 the spire shorter, but in general character very like a. Length 

 of mouth 49 millim., spire 45, breadth at mouth 41. Volu- 

 tions 1\. Here the length of the mouth is greater than tliat 

 ■of the spire and the width at the mouth greater than in the 

 much larger Dogger-Bank specimen. Tlie four or five first 

 volutions are very narrow, as in the type. 



c. Var. tumida (Bl. XVI. fig. 2). The Rodberg specimen 

 already described. The mouth in my specimen has unfor- 

 tunately been much damaged, but its length is 45 millim., 



* This specimeu is rather more elongated than usual.
