Morvillia uiidata Brown has been dredged by the 'Triton' in the 

 Shetland-Faroe Channel, 327-430^ A good figure of it will be found 

 in Sars' work. 



Capuius hungaricus I>. — This occasionally attains a large size. 

 I have one from Torbay 2iin. by 2in. ; Jeffreys had another from 

 Algiers exceeding 2in. in length, and he noticed a larger specimen 

 from the Bay of Naples in Dr. Tiberi's collection. 



Trichotropis borealis Brod. and Sow. — This is rarely dredged 

 in the perfect condition indicated by the published figures, living as 

 it does on rough and stony ground, and the spire is nearly always longer 

 than in those figures. Jeffreys' generic one is the best and most 

 correct, but his dimensions are extreme. 



var. acuminata Jeffr. — Oban, 25f., Aberdeenshire. This is well 

 figured in " British MoUusca." 



Cancellaria viridzda Fabr. (yTritoniuin viridulum P^abr., Faun. 

 Grcenl., p. 402) may be looked for on the British coasts, as it was 

 dredged by the 'Lightning' 55 miles off the Butt of Lewis in 45of., 

 by the 'Porcupine' 40 miles off the Shetlands in 345f., by the Scottish 

 Fishery Board between the Orkneys and Faroes in 588f., and midway 

 between the Shetlands and Norway in igyf. (Simpson) ! It was also 

 dredged by the 'Triton' in the Shetland-Faroe Channel in 500-550^, 

 and by the 'Porcupine' on the Channel slope in 305-567^ An Arctic 

 and Norwegian species, and fossil in the Red Crag and Bridlington 

 deposits. It is the C. coutkouyi of Jay and the Ad/uete viridula of 

 G. O. Sars,^ whose figures of it are excellent, and the animal was 

 described by Jeffreys in the 'Valorous' Report.' Canon Norman has 

 introduced this shell as a British species from Station 65 of the 

 'Porcupine' Expedition of 1869,'' although in dealing with other 

 species from that station he rules it out, and expressly so in his 

 introductory remarks^ on the ground of the " temperature being 

 below freezing-point." 



Aporrhais pes-pelecani L. — Scilly Isles (J. K. Td^-^Xox, Jonm. of 

 Conch., 1908, p. 169). Confirmation would be desirable. Mr. E. 

 Marquand cites for this species " Herm beach, dead (Tomlin)," but I 

 am doubtful if it has been found in any of the Channel Islands. 

 There are none in the Jersey Museum, and a series of six specimens 

 in the Guernsey Museum are from the English coast. Mr. Tomlin 

 writes me that it was a much worn shell, not worth keeping ; that he 

 does not claim it as a native, and that it was probably a ballast shell.
