and the upper whorls only are curved, instead of being, as in 

 E. dlstorta, curved throughout. Its nearest ally is the E. micro- 

 stoma of Brusina, but that is manifestly different. 



Mr. Edgar Smith has compared my shell with the 'Chal- 

 lenger' one, and thinks they are not identical; that ' E. latipcs 

 is less curved towards the apex, the mouth is shorter, and the 

 body-whorl more angled in the middle.' But one of my speci- 

 mens has the spire much less curved than Mr. Watson's figure, 

 in fact almost straight, and the measurements of the body- 

 whorl are mathematically exact. Rev. Boog Watson, writing 

 from memory only, having no specimen of E. latipes before 

 him, thinks 'it is distinct — but what?' 



With all due deference to the opinions of these gentlemen, 

 however, and much as I value them, I feel great reluctance to 

 describe as absolutely new a shell so extremely like E. latipes 

 as this Cornish one, and accordingly launch it forth under that 

 designation. 



In using the name of Eulima Jistorta in the foregoing 

 pages, I am well aware that that name properly belongs to 

 another species, and that it must give place to the E. philippii 

 ofWeinkaufifj but until another edition or revision of 'British 

 Conchology' is published, and the latter name established, I 

 have thought it best to use the name long known to English 

 collectors.

Otina Otis var. Candida in Pembrokeshire.— I took 

 last Autumn in South Pembrokeshire several specimens of 

 Otina Otis var. Candida, from caves near the Eligug Stack 

 Rocks. I believe it has not been recorded from that locality 

 before. — Beatrice J. Falloon.
