232 EULiMiDuS;. 



Distr. — Several sp. M. Japonicus. Japan. Fossil, 12 sp. 

 Devonian to Carboniferous ; Britain, Belgium, United States. M. 

 Sahlotheimii, d'Arch. (Ixviii, 91). 



Shell thick, ventricose, buccinoid ; aperture simple, effuse 

 below , outer lip thin, inner lip wanting, columella callous, 

 slightly tortuous. 



I follow Woodward in making Polyphemopsis a synonym of 

 this genus ; but it is a very doubtful fossil, the surface of the 

 type being worn off. 



PASiTHEA, Lea (restricted), 1833. Spire short, last whorl ven- 

 tricose. Rather more slender and cylindrical than the typical ■ 

 Macrocheilus. M. Claibor7ie7isis, Lea. Eocene ; Ala. 



SuBULiTES, Conrad, 1842. 



Distr. — 12 sp. Palaeozoic ; N. Am. S. elongata, Conrad. 



Shell smooth, resembling a very much elongated Terebellum, 

 but the exact form of the aperture is unknown. If this be really 

 rounded and entire in front, the genus may be placed in this 

 family ; in the contrary case it may belong to the Pyramidellidse 

 or possibly to the Alata. 



Strobeus, Koninck, 1881. 



Distr. — 3 sp. Carb. ; Belgium. 



Shell small, long oval, smooth ; spire pointed, of 5-t convex 

 whorls ; mouth long oval, outer lip sharp ; inner lip callous, with 

 an anterior fold. 



HoPLOPTERON, Fischer. 



Distr. — H. Terquemi, Fischer (Ixviii, 93). China Sea. 



Shell imperforate, elongate-turreted, shining, apex obtuse ; 

 upper whorls plain, lower ones with triangular, flat, projecting 

 wings on each side ; aperture entire, the margin acute, columella 

 without plaits. 



Probablj^ an embryonic shell (?). It is only 1*15 mill. long. 



SuBEULiMA, Souverb. 

 Distr. — S. Lamberti, Souverb. (Ixviii, 94). New Caledonia. 

 Shell turreted, elongated, whorls numerous, angulated and 

 carinated in the middle ; spire tortuous as in Eulima 



ScALENOSTOMA, Dcshayes. 



Distr. — S. carinatum, Desh. (Ixviii, 95). Isle of Bourbon. 



Shell in form allied to Pyramidella and Niso, turriculated, 

 white, imperforate ; columella not plicated ; opening subtrian- 

 gular, slightly bent in the direction of its length ; margin 

 simple, notched near the suture. 



BuLiMORPHA, Whitfield, 1882. 

 Syn. — Bulimella, Hall (not Pfeiffer \ Polyphemopsis, Portlock, 

 in part.
