South Africa, Page 96, Plate 2, fig. i. The comparison of a 

 number of specimens recently acquired by the British Museum 

 has convinced me that the two supposed species are not separ- 

 able. There is considerable discrepancy between my descrip- 

 tion of the species in the Journal of Conchology and the figure 

 given in Marine Shells of South Africa," Plate VI., fig. 7 (Ap- 

 pendix, 1897), which may be accounted for by the fact that the 

 shell described having been returned to its owner, I unfortunately 

 figured a different specimen to represent the species ; and neither 

 of the two shells is now accessible to me. 



FUSOS RUBROLINEATUS, Sowerby, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1870,. 

 page 252. Good but small specimens of this pretty species 

 found 30 miles S. of Cape St. tJlaize, in 53 fathoms. 



Latiaxis TORTILIS, a. Adams, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1863, p. 431, 

 Vasco de Gama Pk. bearing S. 75° E. ; distant 13! miles; 

 depth, 166 fathoms. A single fine specimen. I cannot agree 

 with Dr. Gray in referring this species to L. tdolea, Jonas. 



Nassa TRIFASCIATA, a. Adams (Plate IV. fig. 2). — Nassa 

 trifasciata, A. Adams, Proc. Zool. Soc, 185 1 (non Gmehn). I 

 have compared the specimens taken off the South African Coast 

 (Nanquas Pk. bearing N.E. f N. ; distant, ii-|- miles) depth,. 

 58 fathoms ; with those in the British Museum from 

 Vigo Bay (including the type) and find them identical. The 

 species is quite distinct from the Mediterranean, A^. corniculunij 

 Olivi, and N. semistriaia, Brocchi. See remarks on N. ana- 

 logica, Sow. n. sp. 



PSEUDOLIVA ANCILLA, Hanley, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1859, p. 429. 

 Sowerby, Marine Shells of South Africa, Plate i, fig. 14. A 

 single specimen in perfect condition taken at Lat. 34° 45' 20" S., 

 Long. 25° 44' 20" E., 40 fathoms. (Bottom, mud.) The ani- 

 mal is under examination. 



Ancilla contusa. Reeve (Plate III., fig 3). Red-topped 

 Hill, W. of Untwalumi River (Natal), bearing N. by W. ; distant 

 2 miles ; depth, 25 fathoms. Also Illovo River Mouth (Natal),, 

 bearing N.W. by N. f N. ; distant 5 miles ; depth, 27-30 fathoms. 



The specimens do not much resemble Reeves' type (Conch, 

 icon., Ancillaria, sp. 31), which I find to be abnormal. I there- 

 fore figure what I believe to be the normal form of the species. 



Ancilla BULLOIDES, Reeve. Conch. Icon. Ancillaria, 



species 37. Lion's Head bearing S. 72° E. ; distant 47 miles ; 



depth, 190 fathoms. The habitat of this curiously Bullia-like 

 specfes was not known to Reeve.
