across the body, but still more on the pillar, at the point of 

 which is a very shallow sinus. — H. 0"2. B. 0"1. 



Found by Mr. Lowe in dredging near Punta de Sao Lourengo, 

 near which I also got it as well as on the Gorgulho shore to the 

 west of Punehal. 



This species slightly resembles E. paivana, "W., but is larger, 

 with a sharper apex, a more abrupt base, straighter contour-lines, 

 flatter whorls, a shallower but more sharply impressed suture. 

 I have exajnined E. Stalioi, Brus., with which Jeffreys (P. Z. S. 

 1884, p. 368, xxviii. 3, 3a), simply followed by Tryon (Manual, 

 Yin. p. 275, Ixix. 53), on examination of my specimens, identified 

 this shell. The Madeiran species is certainly not that figured 

 by Jefireys and copied by Tryon ; but Brusina, I believe, 

 questions the correctness of Jeffreys's identification, and the 

 figure with a strangely bent spire as given in the P. Z. S. {loc. 

 sup. cit.) is obviously not the same as Brusina's figure in Journ. 

 de Conch. 1877, and described in the same journal for 1869, 

 p. 242. The E. glabella of Searles. Wood is a much (three times) 

 larger shell, and has, like Brusina's species, a more obtuse apex 

 than E. trunca of Madeira. E. microstoma, Brus., and^. inter- 

 media, Cantr., are both much slimmer forms, and especially in 

 the spire narrower. The varix in the Madeiran species resembles 

 that of E. polita, L., a very much larger species with a much 

 narrower spire. 



29. EuLiMA iNCONSPicTJA, n. sp. 



Shell small, narrow, but less contracted in the spire than 

 most species, thiu, translucent, straight, with a produced base, a 

 shortish narrowly oval mouth, and a small tip. Sculpture none, 

 but the surface is dull. Colour translucent white. Spire high, 

 not bent, but the contour-lines are slightly convex. Apex very 

 small and sharp. Whorls 10, barely convex, of regular but not 

 very slow increase. Suture very slight and scarcely at all 

 oblique. Mouth smallish, oval, narrow, pointed above. Outer 

 lip thin, sharp, rather straight in its direction, well rounded 

 and patulous on the base ; near the body it retreats, forming a 

 marked sinus. Inner lip slightly concave, on the body almost 

 imperceptible but a little thickened and reverted on the pillar, 

 where its well-defined edge is marked by a slight chink ; at the 

 point of the pillar there is a slight truncation. — L. 0"13. B. 0*04.
