The specimen from Stat. 123 is rather young and a Httle doubtful, though it perfectly 

 agrees with the upper whorls of those from Stat. 174 and 240, which are not cjuite adult but 

 most characteristic.

I have followed the synonymy of Melvill in his valuable : " Historical account of the

I owe the identification of this difficult species to Mr. Melvill, one of its authors. The 

 Siboga-specimens seem to be a little more slender, than the quoted figure ; a specimen of the 

 normal length (13 Mill.) has only a breadth of 8 instead of 9 Mill. Mr. Melvill writes that 

 though originally only known from Maskat, gulf of Oman, it has lately turned up in 2 or 3 

 places in the eastern tropics. So its occurence at the above Stations is not at all strange.
