1884.] 'LIGHTNING* AND 'PORCUPINE ' EXPEDITIONS. 1 '67 



The interstices of the ribs in this species are regularly and dis- 

 tinctly striated in the direction of the spire. My largest specimen 

 from the 'Porcupine' Expedition is three quarters of an inch in 

 length by nearly half an inch in breadth. 



I have also from Rasel Amoush fragments of a species which 

 appears to be S . frondicula of Searles Wood. That species is more 

 slender and has more ribs than 8. frondosa. Asa Pliocene fossil 

 it occurs in the Coralline Crag of Suffolk, the Antwerp Crag, and 

 at Reggio in Calabria. Monterosato gives Palermo and S. Vito for 

 8. frondicula as a recent or living species.

' Porcupine' Exp. 1869: St. 65. A living specimen from the 

 last Station (345 fathoms) was nearly two inches long. The animal 

 having been put into boiling water was removed from the shell and 

 kept in spirit of wine ; it then gave out a deep violet dye, which did 

 not fade for many years.
