4. Descriptions of new Species of Shells from the 



' Challenger ' Expedition. By Edgar A, Smith, F.Z.S. 



[Eeceived June 10, 1891.] 



(Plates XXXIV. & XXXV.) 



Tog;ether with the duplicates from the ' Challenger ' collections, 

 transferred last year from Edinburgh to the British Museum, were 

 a number of specimens which had not as yet been examined. Among 

 these five of the following new species from various localities were 

 discovered. The remainder were all dredged off Sydney in 410 

 fathoms. At this station (164 B), in addition to the new species 

 here described were a number of others, and amongst these several 

 undoubtedly Atlantic forms. As Dr. Murray proposes to publish a 

 special report upon the results obtained at this station, I refrain from 

 further allusion to it. 



1. Lampusia (Priene) murrayi. (Plate XXXIV. fig. 1.) 

 Testa fusiformis, albida, suhtemcis, epideronide crassiuscula, luteo- 



cinerea, confertim pilosa ioiduta ; anfractus — ? {apice fracto), 

 convexi, sutura profunda ohliqna sejuncti, supremi fortiter 

 cancellati, versus ultimum sensim Iceviores, varicihus duohus 

 instrticti,ultimus elongatus, antice hreviter rostratus, spiraliter 

 costwlatus, costulis longitudioialihus obsoletis snbcancellatus ; 

 apertura ovata, superne et inferne acuminata, intus sordide 

 albida, cum canali Ion git. totius | adcequans ; labrum ex~ 

 pansum, album, extus incrassatum ; columella leviter arcuata, 

 callo nitido induta ; canalis obliquus, profundus, recurvus. 

 Lonqit. 87 millim., diam. onaj. 43 ; apertura cum canali 45 longa, 



19 lata. 

 Hab. Station 142. Off the Cape of Good Hope, in 150 



fathoms. 



This species is much more slender than Priene magellanicus 



(Chemn.), Dillwyn, and has the spire longer in proportion to the 



aperture. The epidermis also is of a much closer texture and more 



finely pilose. 



2. Coralliophila -wahlbergi (Krauss). (Plate XXXIV. 

 fig. 2.) 



Purpura wahlbergi, Krauss, Siidafr. Moll. p. 118, pi. vi. f. 15.
