8. Eulima sp. 



Stat. 95. 5°43'.5N., H9°4o'E. Sulu Sea. 522 M. Stony bottom, i Spec. 



This specimen resembles the figure of E. attenuata in Reeve's Conch. Ic, but is still 

 different, the aperture is too much broken for identification, the columella being partly lost. 



9. Eulima Melvilli n. sp. PL XVII, fig. 5. 



Stat. 99. North-Ubian, Sulu Archipelago. 16 — 23 M. Lithothamnion-bottom. i Spec. 



Shell conical, scarcely distorted to the right, thin, semipellucicl, smooth, white. Nucleus 

 wanting; remaining whorls about 6^3, moderately convex, slightly angular just below the deep 

 suture, which seems to be margined interiorly, at least I see a margin shining through the shell ; 

 sculpture consisting of very faint, often irregular growth-striae and a few varices, which seem 

 to be often faint, but of which 3, higher on the spire, are more conspicuous, on what is now 

 the left side of the ventral face of the shell ; last whorl rather elongate, without angle. Aperture 

 oval, angular above, its outer margin regularly curved, rather blunt, thickened interiorly by a 

 layer of shelly matter, basal margin rounded, columellar margin nearly straight, but thickened a 

 little about the middle and slightly reflected over what may scarcely be named an umbilical slit. 



Alt. SYe, diam. 3^3; apert. ah. 2^\„, lat. 1^4 Mill. 



This new species is unlike any described form. It is characterized by its comparatively 

 short, inflated shape. With a few of the preceding species it might perhaps be placed by some 

 authors in the genus Siiditlaria. I have restricted that group to the species named Leiostraca 

 by Adams.

Clessin (I.e.) says: "Vaterland?", though Adams (Thes. Conch.) and Tryon (I.e.) quote: 

 "Sooloo Sea". The Siboga-specimen has been dredged considerably more southwards.

Stat. 208. S°39'S., 122° 12' E. Banda Sea. 1S86 M. Solid green mud. i Spec. 



Shell fusiform, thin, white (probably bleached) nucleus slightly worn, but apparently 

 heterostrophe, postnuclear whorls about 5, those forming the spire, a little convex, separated 

 by a deep, channelled suture. Last whorl elongated, narrow below. Sculpture consisting of fine
