by modern writers ; I except Fabricius's description, which is 

 admirable. 



Disco harbour and Waigat Strait. Only two or three 

 specimens could be found. 



Clione horealis has a wide range as regards longitude, from 

 Novaya Zemlya to the eastern coasts of North America. It is 

 said to abound in arctic seas during the summer and autumn, 

 and to be the principal food of the right whale. 



It is the Clione papilionacea of Pallas, Clio Umacina of 

 Phipps, Clio retusa of Miiller and Fabricius (not of Linne), 

 and Clio Miquelonensis of Rang. The date of publication by 

 Pallas and Phipps is the same. Clione horealis was first 

 noticed and figured by Martens in his voyage to Spitzbergen 

 and Greenland, under the name of the " Sea May Fly." 



Since the publication in the ' Annals ' of my former papers 

 on this subject I have had some additional information, and 

 become aware of a few slight omissions, which enable me to 

 add a short supplement. 



Montacuta Daiosoni. Newfoundland (Verkriizen). 



Kellia symmetros. A single valve, much larger than the 

 specimen which I have described, was procured by Mr. Friele 

 in the recent Norwegian Expedition at a depth of 488 fathoms. 



Gadulus tumidosus. A small variety was dredged in West 

 Norway by Professor G. 0. Sars, who considers it a distinct 

 species, and proposes to name it propinquus. 



Trochus umhilicalis. Cape York, 10 fms., and Port Ken- 

 nedy (Walker). 



Rissoa castanea. White Sea (Middendorff). 



Turritella erosa. Syn. T. polaris (Beck) , Moller. 



TurriteUa reticulata. ■ Melville Bay, 80-100 fms. (Walker). 



Odostomia alhula. Gulf of St. Lawrence, 20 fms. (Whit- 

 eaves). 



I have now fulfilled my pledge to the Royal Society with 

 respect to the Mollusca of the ' Valorous ' Expedition.
