The shell, ivs large and nicely scru{>tured as from any other lacality, has the 

 longitudinal, more or less straight and sticmg ribs, moderately convex whorls and 

 elongated form belonging to the 8{>ecies. The specimens from Oji vary gi-eatly 

 in all those points which led Koch and Wiegmann, and iv: they record, Jeffreys, 

 to separate the Tnrbonilla Jeffreysii from our species ; but I think it doubtful, 

 whether this separation is correct or not. Still more doubtful is the identiricatiou 

 of a crag-shell with this Turlxmilla JetlVeysii which the author himself, S. 

 Wood, declares to Ik; uncertain I luiiy add Ijesides, that there are specimens 

 with quite as many varices as Koch and Wiegmann's Turl>onilla variculosii, 1. c, 

 J). lOf), pi. 3, f. S, exhibits, and on the whole, I can not but agree with Forbes 

 and Hanley who think several species, e. g. Ch. gracilis and pusilla of Philippi, 

 to be separated from Ch. elegantissima without sufficient reason. I leave it open, 

 whether this is also the ct\se with Ch. elegantior S. Wood (Crag Moll I. [). 81, 

 pi. 10, f. 5. suppl. p. 61.), originally called Ch. elegantissima. 



Cerithiopsis rugosa Gould. 

 (Otia Conchol. p. 143). 



The highly typical, particular and nice Sculpture, together with size and 

 dimensions (15 mm. in length and 4 in diameterl prove the identity of one of 

 the Oji shells (one specimen) with the living Chinese species of Gould.

A few sjiecimens were found at Oji, belonging to the turreted, sharp-kwilcd 

 form with long curved Sipho and a minor carina just above the suture. 

 Drillia reel pr oca Gotild. 

 (Otia. Conchol. p. 135). 



Long, fusiform, with 10 convex whorls, on which there are 4 or 5 transverse 

 carinae, the middle one of which is a little stronger and somewhat granular. 

 The intervals are obliquely striated, the obliquenes-s being in different direction 

 iiccording to the position above or below the sinus. Sinus deep and broad, lip 

 produced, canal short, broad and twisted ; a[>erture only about \ of the total 

 length. The largest specimens attain nearly the length noted by Goulil, \1 

 mm., with the same projiortion in diameter, viz. 5^ of tlie axis. This siiell which 

 does not agree with any other but the species of Gouhl to which I unite it, wiui 

 frwiuently met with at Oji. The recent siKjcimens were found at Oshima

Not as frequently found at Oji, as the foregoing shell ; apex somewhat 



obtuse, canal lengthened, aperture narrow, whorls with a prominent angh^ noar
