i62 MARSHALL: ON NEW BRItISH MARINE SHELLS. 



The Minch, in about 65 fathoms. 



Sound of Sleat, 80 — 90 fathoms. 



Arran, 31 fathoms. 



Hebrides, 20 fathoms (precise locality unrecorded). 



Mil ford Haven, 1 1 fathoms. 



The shell is not keeled at any stage. Two specimens are 

 slightly curved, and another has the apical whorls only curved. 



Ephamilla signifies like unto or resembling E. subtdata. 

 The latter is of course a larger shell, and has coloured bands; 

 but comparing one of the same size with E. ephamilla it will be 

 seen that it is nearly twice as broad at the base, the mouth is 

 considerably larger, and the whorls are not so compressed. 

 From E. disforta var. gracilis this differs in being longer and 

 more slender, with a narrower base, a much smaller mouth, a 

 blunt and rounded, instead of a pointed apex, and the first 

 whorls compact, instead of being loosely coiled. There is a 

 slender form of the var. gracilis that comes close to it in outline, 

 but its pointed apex and larger mouth will always distinguish 

 it from E. ephamilla. It also differs from that rare and slender 

 shell E. intermedia var. rubrotincta in the same particulars. 



The Milford Haven locality is remarkable on account of 

 its shallow depth, occurring there with quite the ordinary 

 common species usually found at that depth. The Aberdeen 

 locality may be considered special, as also that of the Sound of 

 Sleat, where two specimens were dredged by Mr. A. Somerville, 

 off Glenelg, in 1889. The current there is very strong, and it 

 is not easy to keep the dredge down. 



In Boog Watson's remarks on this species in the 'Chal- 

 lenger' report, p. 511, line 4 from bottom, the word 'sculpture' 

 should read 'suture.' 



The next new species is also a Eulima, and also one of 

 those obtained in the 'Challenger' expedition — the E. latipes 

 of Watson. I Only one adult and two immature examples
