It is entirely evident that this does not agree with the accounts given us 

 of the raduhi of C. tuhercularis. On the other hand, Stimpson's drawing does 

 agree in the main with the dentition of EUmeta costulata Moller (C arctica 

 Morch) as figured by Sars (Moll. Arct. Nov., pi. vii. fig. 5 b). The details 

 difier, but the main features of the raduloe must be much alike. 



In the absence of better data as to the teeth of C. tuhercularis^ I prefer to let 

 the species remain in the genus, merely calling attention to the fact that this 

 species must be removed from Cerithiopsis, and united with its congeners in a 

 distinct group, if the differences of dentition above signalized are confirmed.

This very abundant shell is remarkably uniform in its characters; the only 

 difference I have observed in examining several hundred specimens, from dif- 

 ferent places, is that some are a little more slender and cylindrical than others. 

 The tip of the larval nucleus is invariably lost, though a good part of the 

 larval shell is usually preserved. 



The animal is pale brown (in alcohol), with large long tentacles, very black 

 well developed eyes, a broad short head, short rounded foot, and an externally 

 concave, red-brown, few-whorled circular operculum. The opercular lobe 

 appears to have several short processes on each side.

This is nearest C. Martensii, but the whorls do not overhang, and the arched 

 lamellsc or incremental lines so prominent on the latter have no parallel in
