368 DR. GWYN JEFFREYS ON THE MOLLTJSCA OF THE [May 20, 



of brownish-yellow : spire shortish, ending in a blunt and bulbous 

 point : ivhorls 8, somewhat convex ; the first is inflected, and the 

 last occupies about balf the shell : suture nearly straight, well de- 

 fined : mouth oval, proportionally large, acutangular above and 

 rounded below ; its length equals one third of the spire : outer lip 

 flexuous : inner lip reflected on the pillar at its base, but not obser- 

 vable on its upper part. L. - 15. B. 0'06. 



'Porcupine' Exp. 1870 : Atl. St. 9, 17. A single specimen from 

 each station. 



This is less slender than E. distorta or any of its varieties ; the 

 spire is shorter and quite straight, the apex is blunt and bulbous 

 instead of finely poiuted, and the mouth is proportionately larger. 



Distribution. Off the coast of West Africa (' Talisman ' Exp.) ; 

 1192 fms. 



8. Eulima stalioi, Brusina. (Plate XXVIII. fig. 3.) 



E. stalioi, Brus., J. de Conch, xvii. (1869), p. 242. 



'Porcupine' Exp. 1870: Atl. St. 29, 30. 



Distribution. Dalmatia (Stalio and Brusina), Algiers (coll. Wein- 

 kauff) t off Marocco ('Talisman' Exp.)!, Madeira (JFatson)l; 

 20-1192 fms. 



Intermediate between E. glabella of Searles Wood from the 

 Coralline Crag, and E. brevis of Requien from Corsica and the Adri- 

 atic. The present species may ultimately prove to be a variety of 

 E. brevis. Professor Brusina having obligingly favoured me with a 

 specimen of his E. petitiana, I believe it is a variety of E. stalioi; 

 but I offer this opinion with great respect for his intimate know- 

 ledge of the Adriatic Mollusca. 



I/' 9. Eulima solida 1 , Jeffreys. (Plate XXVIII. fig. 4.) 



Shell nearly cylindrical, slender, thick, transparent, and very 

 glossy : sculpture none perceptible with a hand-lens or ordinary 

 magnifying power ; but under a compound microscope the whole 

 surface of the shell appears to be covered with extremely fine and 

 close-set longitudinal striae or lines ; the periphery is more or less 

 distinctly keeled: colour glassy white: spire elongated, sometimes 

 curved or distorted, and ending in a bulbous nucleus : whorls 8, 

 compact and flattened ; the first is inflected, and the last occupies 

 rather more than two fifths of the shell : suture nearly straight, 

 well defined, but narrow ; it occasionally shows a rather broad line 

 on the lower side by reason of the overlapping of each whorl : mouth 

 oval, proportionally small, acutangular above and somewhat ex- 

 panded below ; its length is not a third of that of the spire : outer 

 lip flexuous, in some specimens thickened : inner lip glazed and 

 reflected on the pillar. L. 0'2. B. 0*05. 



' Porcupine ' Exp. 1869 : St. 23 a. 1870 : Atl. 9, 17, 19, 27, 28. 

 Distribution. Bay of Biscay (' Travailleur' Exp. 1880 aud 1881), 

 off Marocco, west coast of Africa, and the Azores (' Talisman ' 

 Exp.) ; 645-1622 fms. 



1 Compact.
