point of which tlie spoon-shaped mouth-front projects. Suture 

 linear, slightly impressed, and for the genua a little coarse. 

 Mouth large and very open, pointedly oval. Outer lip well 

 arched and patulous ; the edge is deeply sinuated above, slightly 

 prominent in the middle, and retreating a little to the base, where 

 it is expanded into a very shallow, wide, spoon-edged canal. Inner 

 lip : a thinnish narrow glaze with a defined edge crosses the 

 body, and runs out on the straight broad pillar, behind the 

 reverted edge of which lies a strongly marked furrow. H. 0"41. 

 B. 0-12. Penultimate whorl, height 0-06. Mouth, height 0-14, 

 breadth 0-06. 



In general form this is somewhat intermediate between JE.poUfa, 

 Linn., and U. intermedia, Cantr. ; but the apex is much coarser, 

 and the mouth both larger and diverse in shape. No measure- 

 ment of the apical whorl is given above, in consequence of a minute 

 crush which befell the extreme tip in the very act of taking the 

 measurement. 



6. EuLiMA EPHAMiLLA. {ecpafxiXXos, like U. sululata.) 



St. 122. Sept. 10, 1873. Lat. 9° 5' S., long. 34° 50' W. Off 

 Pernambuco. 350 fms. Mud. 



Shell. — High and narrow, very symmetrical, with a very fine 

 linear suture, flat-sided and very little oblique whorls, a tapering 

 scarcely convex base, and a small pear-shaped mouth. Sculpture 

 none. Colour : the specimen is dead and discoloured. Apex slightly 

 broken, but seemingly small. Spire high, quite straight, and 

 with both profile-lines most symmetrical. Whorls 12 or 13, 

 quite flat on the sides ; the last whorl is a little long but narrow, 

 tapering very gradually, scarcely convex, and very regularly 

 rounded in front, where the lip hardly projects. Suture linear, 

 fine and hardly impressed, and very little oblique. Mouth not 

 oval, but regularly pear-shaped and slightly oblique. Outer lip 

 quite straight in its direction ; its edge is deeply sinuated above, 

 a little prominent in the middle, and then it retreats very slightly 

 to the shallow open gutter in front. Inner lip : a thin glaze with 

 defined edge crosses the body and runs out on the short, nar- 

 row, slightly twisted pillar, with a very minute furrow behind it. 

 H. 0-33. B. 0-06. Penultimate whorl, height 0046. Mouth, 

 height 0-07, breadth O'OS. 



This species very much resembles U. suiulata, Don., but is 

 slightly slimmer in form, and the base in particular is more sym-
