The largest example has four whorls; the last has a rounded 
peripheral carina, above which there are about ten low, rounded, un- 
equal ciuguli, separated by concave grooves ; on the base there are 
about as many similar but closer cinguli. Breadth, i2 ram ; height, 
7 mm ; breadth of aperture, 5 mm . Two living young specimens from 
station 871, in 115 fathoms, 1880; a much larger living specimen, 
from 1038, in 146 fathoms, 1881. — U. S. Fish Commission. 
Omalaxis ? lirata Verrill, sp. nov. 
Shell small, depressed, with a low spire, but showing all the whorls 
in a side view. Whorls about four and a half, very convex; suture 
impressed ; upper whorls smooth ; apical whorl small, regular ; last 
whorl mostly covered with strong, elevated, spiral cinguli, separated 
by wider concave grooves; around the umbilical region there is a 
broad, smooth band, with lines of growth ouly; in the umbilicus are 
two or three spiral lines. Aperture small, nearly circular, oblique, 
the inner lip strongly receding or excavated opposite the umbilicus, 
which is large and circular. Height, l mm ; diameter, 2 rara . 
Off Newport, R. I., station 770, 8^ fathoms, 1880.

Several living examples, probably belonging to this species, were 
taken at the surface, near George’s Bank, latitude 41° 25' north, lon- 
gitude 65° 5' to 65° 30' west, by Messrs. S. I. Smith and O. Harger, 
in 1 872, on the “ Bache.” With these were one, or perhaps two, other 
species of the genus, not yet determined satisfactorily. 
Fragments of a Car maria, perhaps C. Atlantica , were dredged 
off Martha’s Vineyard, station 865, in 1880. 
* Those malacologists who follow II. and A. Adams, in adopting the undefined gen- 
eric names of Bolton (1798), will use for this shell the name, Archileclonica borealis.
