The identification is rather uncertain, the shell is nearly allied to tHe^^?5!rR^ns of A. 

 vespaceus I could compare, though I found no quite identical specimen. As the species seems 

 to be very variable, I think it is not safe to erect a new species on one small specimen.

These specimens are also of somewhat doubtful identification, they don't quite agree 

 with Reeve's description, a. o. I see no livid purple ridges, the specimens seem to be more 

 nodulous; but the shape with the long canal agree; so I have united them as a slight variation. 

 Tryon considers this and the next species, to be forms of A. vespaceus.

The specimens from Stat. 273 are whitish, with a few brown lines, the canal is shorter 

 than in the type, but seems to be slightly broken.

10. Aqtiilhis sp. 



Several young specimens, too young for identification, from Stat. 37, 240 and 315, seem 

 to belong to one or at least to nearly allied species; another from Stat. 225 is certainly different, 

 but though larger, I cannot identify it with the upper whorls of any of the species I could compare.
