THE MARINE SHELLS OF SCRUIENES 
By J. T. MARSHALL. 
(Read before the Conchological Society, Dec. 9th, 1896). 
As supplementary to a list of the “‘ Marine Mollusca of Corn- 
wall,” published recently in this journal, the following additions 
are offered pertaining to Scilly only, as the compiler of that list 
does not appear to have known what has been done in that 
district for the last few years, and to have missed much that 
has been written thereon. Those additions which pertain to 
the Cornwall coast are being published in my ‘Additions to 
‘British Conchology.’” 
Of the thirteen species cited by Mr. Tregelles as peculiar 
to Scilly, only eight are so, five of them having been found by 
me on the mainland; while some other species which are truly 
Scillonian appear to be unknown to him. And his summary 
of the number of species, both for Scilly and Cornwall, requires 
amendment. 
It should also be stated that Mr. Clifford Burkill is not 
responsible for any of the records attributed to him by Mr. 
Tregelles ; he did not work out any of the Scilly shells, nor 
write a line thereon. The addition of his name to the papers 
was purely complimentary, as the pioneer in a series of dredg- 
ings among the Scilly Islands in which three other gentlemen 
have taken part, one of them twice—Mr. A. Somerville, F.L.S., 
the Rev. Dale Roberts, and Mr. John Lane. I have besides 
obtained various independent dredgings from the Menavawr or 
Atlantic side of the Scilly Islands, a locality which, I venture to 
predict, will yield many more new species to the adventurous 
dredger who will essay this stormy part of the ocean. 
The following are all new to Scilly, and those with an 
asterisk are new to Britain :—
