66 Rev. Canon Norman^s Revision 



■ The only Britisli specimens of this shell I myself dredged 

 in St. Magnus Bay, Shetland, in 60-80 fathoms, when my 

 friend Jeffreys was not out with me. These were in his col- 

 lection, and are among the many interesting specimens whicli 

 have gone to America*. 



I have frequently dredged it in the Norwegian west-coast 

 fiords. A small specimen was taken by the ' Travailleur ' 

 in the Bay of Biscay [Jefreya).

 also states that Seguenza has found it fossil in the older 

 Pliocene of Sicily.

* In our many dredging expeditious the choicest of the Mollusca went 

 to my friend's collection, while the animals heionging to other classes of 

 t]ie Invertebrata fell to my share. He was always most generous in this 

 matter.
