Islet of Marie-Galante, near Guadaloupe, West Indies (Beau) ; 
dredged at station 2120 by the U. S. Fish Commission steamer 
Albatross in seventy-three fathoms, muddy bottom, temperature 67°

A defective but recognizable specimen of this rare species was 
dredged, as above, by the Albatross. It remains at present the 
only species known of the genus from the Antilles. 
Genus ENZTA Adams 
Eneta H. ann A. ApaAms, Gen. Rec. Moll., 11, p. 167, 1853; first species 
Voluta cumingi Bropertrp: Gray, Guide Moll. B. M., p. 34, 1857; 
sole ex. cited Lyria harpa BArNnEs,=—Voluta harpa BARNES non 
Lamarck, =Voluta Barnesti GRAY. 
This group appears to be entirely American in its distribution, 
being found on both the Atlantic and Pacific shores, but not else- 
where. 
The shell is small, peculiarly solid and heavy, with an operculum 
like that of Lyria, from which it differs by the denticulation of 
the outer lips within the aperture when fully adult, usually exhibiting 
one particularly prominent denticle about the middle of the lip. E&. 
barnes has been generally accepted as type.

The name Voluta harpa, having been used several times, once by 
Lamarck for a Paris basin fossil, and later by Mawe for Lamarck’s 
Voluta (Lyria) nucleus, should be rejected for the present species. 
The most remarkable feature of the present species when in fine 
condition is its acute spire, but in worn specimens it is not so notice-
