330 M. O. A. L. MORCh'S REVIEW OF THE VERMETIDiE. [NoV. 12, 



The embryonal whorls are smooth, projecting in the centre of the 

 shell, and not unlike a very small Amnicola. It differs from V. cor- 

 rodens, D'Orb., in having more regular whorls, and in wanting the 

 tooth-like process of the carina in the aperture. I do not know this 

 species, which seems very nearly allied to the two preceding species.
