370 DR. GWYN JEFFREYS ON THE MOLLUSCA OF THE [May 20, 



shape of the last whorl, the remarkably flexiious character of the 

 outer lip, and the pinched apex, which resembles that of Stili/er. 

 The apex is more blunt than in E.fusco-apicatn. 



1/ 12. EuLiMA ABBREViATA \ Jeffreys. (Plate XXVIII. fig. /.) 



Shell conical, thin, semitransparent, and glossy : sculpture, 

 microscopic, close-set, regular and very fine longitudinal striae; 

 periphery rounded and not keeled or angulated : colour ivory-white, 

 except the three apical whorls, which are light brown : sjnre short, 

 abruptly graduating to a rather blunt point : ivhorJs 7, convex ; the 

 last occupies three fifths of the shell : suture distinct, nearly straight : 

 mouth oval, curved below : outer lip flexuous, as in other species 

 of this genus : ituier lip thick, and spread over the lower part of the 

 pillar. L. 015. B. 00/.5. 



'Porcupine' Exp. 1870: Atl. St. 17a. Two specimens. 



/. 13. EuLIMASUBUMBILICATA^ Jeffreys. (Plate XXVIII. fig. 8.) 



Shell forming a short cone, rather solid for its minute size, 

 nearly opaque, and glossy : sculpture none ; periphery obtusely 

 angular : colour creamy white : spire extremely short and termi- 

 nating in a blunt and bulbous point : ivhorls 5, compressed and 

 rounded ; the last occupies nearly two thirds of the shell : suture 

 slight, straight : mouth roundisli-oval, projecting beyond the line of 

 the spire, contracted at the upper corner and rounded below : outer 

 lip semicircular ; inner lip filmy at the top and narrowly reflected 

 on the bottom of the pillar : umbilicus shallow and exhibiting a 

 small perforation behind the pillar. L, 0*05. B. 0"02.t. 



'Porcupine' Exp. 1870: Atl. St. 27. A single specimen, but 

 characteristic from not merely its minute size, but from its exces- 

 sively short and compact spire, the shape of its mouth, and espe- 

 cially the umbilical })erforatiou. 



v 14. EuLiMA MINUTA^ Jeffreys. (Plate XXVIII. fig. 9.) 



Shell club-shaped, thin, semitransparent, and glossy : sculpture 

 none except microscopic and close-set longitudinal striae or scratcbes ; 

 periphery rounded : colour whitish, with a slight tint of yellow : 

 spire rather long ; apex blunt : whorls 5-6, compressed ; the last 

 takes up about half the shell : suture slight and oblique : mouth oval, 

 contracted and pointed above, curved below : outer lip somewhat 

 thickened : inner lip also thickened, and somewhat expanding at the 

 base, which slopes gradually. L. 0*075. B. 0025. 



'Porcupine' Exp. 1870: Atl. St. 2()-29. Six specimens. 



Distribution. Strait of INIessina {Granata-Grillo), off Marocco 

 (' Tahsman ' Exp.), 18-11 92 fms. 



15. EuLiMA OBTUSA^ Jeffreys. (Plate XXVIII. fig. 10.) 

 Shell somewhat cylindrical, slender, rather thick, semitransparent, 



^ Shortened. * Somewbat iimbilicated. ^ Minute. * Blunted.
