valde sulcata, sulcis transversim excavato-punctatis, eorum mar- 
ginibus crenatis; apertura dilatata; margine columellari antice 
oblique truncata; labro semicirculari, postice parum producto et 
rotundato. 
Hab. Tsu-Sima; 30 fathoms: Korea Strait; 46 fathoms. 
No species has been described resembling this, which is nearly 
as large as P. Coreanica. The edges of the transverse grooves 
are conspicuously crenate, and the puncta or pits are transversely 
oblong. 
3. Philine acutangula, A. Adams. 
P. testa subquadrato-ovata, alba, tenui, postice subtruncata, trans- 
versim sulcata, sulcis excavato-punctatis ; anfractu ultimo lateribus 
subparallelis; apertura aperta; labro margine semicirculari, an- 
gulo ejus postice incurvato, producto et acuto. 
Hab. Gulf of Lian-tung; Hulu-Shan Bay. 
The nearest approach to this species is Ph. scutulum, Lovén ; 
but the produced sharp hind angle of the outer lip will serve 
readily to distinguish it. 
4 Philine striolata, A. Adams. 
P. testa parva, ovata, alba, ‘tenui, semipellucida, postice rotundata, 
longitudinaliter plicata, transversim striolata, striolis confertis, 
subtilissimis; apertura dilatata; margine columellari arcuato ; 
labro regulariter semicirculari, postice producto, rotundato, 
Hab. 'Tsu-Sima; 380 fathoms. 
In form this little species most nearly approaches Bullea 
pruinosa, Clark, from the British Seas; but in sculpture it is 
entirely different, being very finely transversely striated.

THAT an intimate connexion should exist between the chase and the
