 and West Greenland (' Valorous/ 1875). 



It is probable that Smitt^s figure of "forma canccllata" 

 (figs. 40, 41) may also belong to this species, but I have not 

 seen any specimens identical, that is, having the projecting 

 point on the under lip. Kirchenpauer, in 1874, named this 

 last form Hemeschara (?) contorta (' Die zweite deutsche 

 Nordpolarfahrt,^ vol. ii. p. 422). 



Levinsen, who figures the operculum, says rightly of the 

 avicularia : " avicularia in plurimisdcsunt ; vibi adsunt, paulo 

 sub peristomia varie deposita." 



I may mention here another species which has been often 

 described and Avould appear to be allied to some of the pre- 

 ceding forms.
