North Atlantic, at depths of from 189 to 650 f., also 

 yielded dead shells and fragments. Fossil: Asti (Rang); 

 Sicily (Scacchi and Philippi); older and newer pliocene 

 near Messina, and quaternary formation at Milazzo and 

 Gravitelli (Seguenza); Arctic Sea (Walker and Barrett); 

 Drontheim (M^Andrew) ; Faroe I. (Olrik and others, 

 fide Morch); Mediterranean (Cantraine, Scacchi, and 

 others) ; ^Egean (Forbes) ; Atlantic Ocean and Guinea 

 (Rang); Florida side of the Gulf-stream, and Havannah 

 (Count L. F. Pourtales) . 



According to Aucapitaine it is common on the coast 

 of Algiers, especially on fine nights in the month of 

 October. One living specimen, on being put into 

 fresh water, ejected a bluish liquid, with a strong smell 

 of varnish. I have observed a similar colouring-matter 

 in the dried animal of Spirialis balea. It is strange, 

 and by no means creditable, that we are obliged to have 

 recourse to the unsatisfactory account of the animal 

 given by Browne in 1789. 



The Hyal(2a lanceolata of Lesueur, and Cleodora 

 Brownii of De Blainville. 



Our Shetland dredgings in 1864- produced three or 

 four fragments of a shell which evidently belongs to 

 another species of Clio. The apex is globular, and the 

 terminal portion is compressed and keeled on each 

 side. In the latter respect it agrees Tvdth Cleodora in- 

 fundibulum of S carles Wood (Crag Moll. Un. p. 191, 

 t. xxi. f. 14, a, b), which was described and figured 

 from imperfect specimens ; this species occurred in the 

 Coralline Crag at Sutton. It is probably Clio caudata 

 of Linne {'^ vagina compressa, caudata,^^ Browne), and 

 Cleodora compressa of Souleyet.
