The specimen from Stat. 50 is white, with a few brown spots and a yellow margin of 

 the aperture, but agrees in other respects. I must doubt if the. figures of the Conchyhen-Cabinet 

 really belong to this species, notwithstanding the statement that they had been erroneously 

 united to R. albivaricosa. I think the canal resembles much more in shape that of Biirsa rana 

 (albivaricosa) than that of B. margarihila, which is much shorter and in the back view is 

 directed to the left.

The specimen from Stat. 251, which is a dead, broken shell, differs from the other 

 specimens in sculpture, the beads being larger, the spines on the body and varices smaller, it 

 is also slightly different in shape; as however Mr. E. A. Smith declared it to be merely a 

 variety of B. rana I have left this single specimen under that species.

The specimens are dead shells, so it is uncertain if they have lived at the considerable 

 depth mentioned on the labels.
