  Note 
  on 
  Triton 
  tessellatus. 
  Reeve. 
  {Read

   — 
  A 
  discussion 
  having 
  arisen 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  proper 
  classification 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  

   hitherto 
  known 
  to 
  me 
  as 
  Epidromus 
  tessellatus 
  (Reeve), 
  Mr. 
  E. 
  G. 
  Vanatta, 
  

   on 
  being 
  informed 
  of 
  the 
  character 
  of 
  the 
  radula, 
  kindly 
  drew 
  my 
  attention 
  

   to 
  a 
  paper 
  published 
  by 
  Dr. 
  H. 
  A. 
  Pilsbry 
  and 
  himself 
  in 
  the 
  Proc. 
  Acad. 
  

   Nat. 
  Sci. 
  Philadelphia, 
  vol. 
  Ivi, 
  pp. 
  592-5, 
  1904. 
  

  

  This 
  deals 
  with 
  " 
  Certain 
  Rhachiglossate 
  Gastropoda 
  eliminated 
  from 
  

   the 
  Aquillidse 
  " 
  and 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  subgenera 
  Maculotriton, 
  Dall 
  (Muricida3), 
  

   and 
  Caducifer, 
  Dall 
  (Buccinidse). 
  

  

  The 
  radula 
  of 
  our 
  present 
  species 
  determines 
  it 
  to 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  second 
  

   of 
  these 
  groups. 
  The 
  radula 
  here 
  figured, 
  and 
  specimens 
  of 
  the 
  shell 
  

   collected 
  by 
  me 
  in 
  Bermuda, 
  are 
  now 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum. 
  The 
  habits 
  

   of 
  the 
  animal 
  are 
  similar 
  to 
  those 
  of 
  Tritonidea 
  tincta, 
  Conrad, 
  from 
  the 
  

   same 
  locality. 
  They 
  both 
  occur 
  under 
  stones 
  between 
  tide-marks. 
  

  

  Reeve's 
  tyf)e 
  in 
  the 
  Cuming 
  Collection 
  was 
  described 
  as 
  from 
  the 
  Island 
  

   of 
  Burias, 
  Philippines. 
  This 
  locality 
  has, 
  however, 
  never 
  been 
  confirmed, 
  

   and 
  it 
  is 
  j)robably 
  incorrect. 
  The 
  Museum 
  also 
  has 
  specimens 
  froni 
  

   St. 
  Thomas. 
  

  

  Tryon 
  (Man. 
  Conch., 
  vol. 
  iii, 
  jj. 
  30) 
  considered 
  the 
  present 
  species 
  

   synonymous 
  with 
  Triton 
  concinnus 
  of 
  Reeve. 
  Examination 
  of 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  

   the 
  latter, 
  also 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  shows 
  that 
  they 
  are 
  distinct.

  1909,

  not 
  of 
  Suter,

   Unfortunately 
  the 
  original 
  authors 
  had 
  already 
  detected 
  the 
  synonym 
  and 
  

   proposed

  Note 
  on 
  a

   {Head

  1910.) 
  — 
  The 
  object 
  of 
  the 
  present 
  note 
  is 
  to 
  place 
  on 
  

   record 
  a 
  new 
  locality 
  for 
  that 
  curious 
  and 
  extremely 
  local 
  Helicoid 
  Elona 
  

   Quimperiana, 
  Fe'r., 
  viz. 
  the 
  Chapel 
  of 
  Ste. 
  Barbe, 
  about 
  two 
  miles 
  from 
  

   Le 
  Faouet 
  in 
  the 
  Department 
  of 
  Morbihan, 
  and 
  about 
  twenty 
  miles 
  from 
  

   the 
  nearest 
  point 
  on 
  the 
  coast 
  ; 
  the 
  only 
  other 
  localities 
  in 
  Morbihan 
  

   where 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  previously 
  noticed 
  being 
  Lorient, 
  le 
  Tour 
  d'Elven, 
  and 
  

   Lanveaux 
  ; 
  in 
  Finisterre 
  it 
  occurs 
  at 
  Quimper, 
  Quimperle, 
  Brest, 
  Lande- 
  

   venec, 
  Lanveoc, 
  Saint 
  Marc, 
  Plougastel, 
  and 
  St. 
  Pierre 
  Quilbignon, 
  while 
  

   it 
  has 
  recently 
  been 
  taken 
  by 
  Monsieur 
  F. 
  Kerforne 
  in 
  the 
  Foret 
  de 
  Lorges 
  

   in 
  the 
  Cotes 
  du 
  Nord 
  ^ 
  ; 
  it 
  has 
  also 
  been 
  collected 
  in 
  various 
  localities 
  in 
  

   the 
  Pyrenees, 
  and 
  at 
  several 
  j)laces 
  in 
  the 
  North 
  of 
  Spain. 
  It 
  seems 
  

   probable, 
  therefore, 
  that 
  when 
  the 
  Armorican 
  Peninsula 
  is 
  more 
  thoroughly 
  

   searched 
  from 
  a 
  conchological 
  point 
  of 
  view, 
  the 
  species, 
  though 
  always 
  

   a 
  local 
  one, 
  may 
  prove 
  to 
  be 
  more 
  widely 
  distributed 
  than 
  it 
  is 
  at 
  present 
  

   thought 
  to 
  be.
