Turbonilla elegans Verrill. 
Turbonilla elegans Verrill, Amer. Journ. Sei., iii, pp. 210, 282, pi. 6, fig. 4, 1872; Rep. 
Invert. Anim. Vineyard Sd., in Rep. U. S. Fish Com., i, pp. 418, 657, pi. 24, fig. 
155, 1874 (auth. cop., p. 363).

Fig. 3. The accompanying figure is from a camera-lucida draw- 
ing of one of the original specimens, by the writer. 
Long I. Sound, off New Haven, 2 to 6 fathoms ; Vineyard 
Sound, 2 to 10 fathoms; Narragansett Bay. 
D’Orbigny, in Hist. I. Cuba, Mollusques, 1853, described 
a shell under the name of Chemnitzia elegans. Ilis shell 
has, however, a well-marked plication on the columella, 
and, therefore, should undoubtedly be referred to a genus 
distinct from Turbonilla. Otherwise, I would suggest the 
substitution of T. elegantula , for the name of our shell. 
Eulimella Smithii Verrill. 
Turbonilla Smithii Verrill, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., iii, p. 380. 1880. 
Plate LVIII, figure 18. 
This species belongs to Eulimella , rather than to Turbonilla , if 
these two groups be kept as distinct genera. 
, Stations 871, 873, 874 and 876, in 85 to 120 fathoms, 1880; 949 
and 1038, in 100 to 146 fathoms, 1881. 
Eulimella polita Verrill. 
Aclis polita Verrill, Amer. Journ. Sci., iii, pp. 210, 282, pi. 6, fig. 5, 1872. 
Figure 4. 
Whorls twelve, besides the nucleus, well-rounded, smooth and 
glossy, mostly without sculpture, but on some of the upper whorls 
faint, very slightly elevated, transverse ribs can be detected, 
with a lens ; lines of growth very slight. Suture well- 
impressed, little oblique. Aperture short-ovate ; the outer 
lip is broadly rounded, slightly effuse in front; the columella 
is smooth, a little excurved, bending to the left, from its 
junction with the body-whorl, and then joining the outer 
lip in a regular curve ; in the umbilical region its edge is 
raised and very slightly reflexed. No umbilicus. 
Length, 8 mm ; breadth, 2 mra .
