the north and Ryhope on the south. Iam bound to state that 
much of the successful result of these dredgings was due to the 
intelligence of the fishermen employed, William and Ralph 
Hutchinson, who entered cordially into our views on the occasion. 
I subjoin a tabular list of the species dredged. The following 
are either new to the coast, or, from their rarity or other circum- 
stances, thought worthy of a separate notice :— 
Buuima catena, Mont. Several living examples were brought 
in by Mr. Howse from the third day’s dredging. The shell 
only had been previously found on the coast. 
Butuaa prurnosa, Clark. Three specimens of this very rare 
shell were obtained ; one with the animal. 
BULL@A STRIGELLA, Lovén. 
Cylichna strigella, lovén, Index Moll. Scand. 10. No. 66. 
Three specimens occurred, all dead. 
This is a recent addition to the British Fauna ; a few 
individuals having been dredged on the west coast of 
Scotland, at different times, by Mr. Barlee, Mr. Jeffreys, 
and myself. This is the first record of its capture on the 
east coast of Britain. 
Bullea strigella is distinguished from B. umbilicata by 
its more tapering form, by being striated, and by a small 
tooth-like fold at the base of the columella. 
CHEMNITZIA FULVocINcTA, Zhomp. <A living specimen was 
obtained. It had been admitted into our Catalogue on 
the evidence of one or two dead and worn shells only. 
Cuemnitzia Macanpret, Forbes. We got some fine specimens 
of this rare species. 
CuEmNitzta actcuLa, Phil. Four or five were found; two 
quite fresh. 
ODOSTOMIA CONSPICUA, N.S. 
Shell strong, ovate-conical, with the spire rather elon- 
gated, of a pale brownish yellow or fawn colour ; whorls 
7, a little convex and well defined ; the first somewhat 
drawn out and set obliquely, the rest tapering gradually 
to the last, which is rather ventricose and occupies about 
half the shell: it has a very slight ridge in the centre,
