Utriculus hyalinus, Turton. 

 Bulla hyalina, Tnrton, in Mag. Nat. Hist. vii. p. 353 (1834). 



Station 5, 57 fms. ' Porcupine ' Expedition, 1869, west 

 of Ireland, 183 fms. From Spitzbergen (Torell) to the 

 Egyptian coast of the Mediterranean (Schneider) ; Madeira 

 and the Canaries (M'Andrew) ; Davis Sti-ait to Cape Cod. 

 Depths 10-150 fms. One of the glacial fossils of Scotland 

 and Scandinavia. 



U. minutus and U. candidus of Brown, and possibly also 

 his U. pellucidus (1827) ; but although these names are prior 

 to that given by Turton, not one of them has been adopted by 

 subsequent authors. In the second edition of Brown's work, 

 published in 1844, he describes " U. hyalina " of Turton as a 

 different species. It is the Bulla debilis of Gould (1840), and 

 B. subangulata of M.oller (1842).

One of the ' Valorous ' fragmentary specimens indicates a 

 much larger size than usual. The operculum in ' Porcupine ' 

 specimens agrees with my description of that of A. tornatilis 

 in the 4th volume of '■ British Conchology,' pp. 432-3.
