Habitat: — The single fresh holotype of Lima {Lima) tomlini was dredged at St. 251 

 (5° 28'. 4 S., i32°o'.2 E., depth 204 mètres) in the Arafura Sea, and a number of dead shells 

 were dredged at St. 95 (5°43'.5 N., ii9°4o'E., depth 522 mètres). As I hâve suggested above 

 the "Challenger" spécimens from St. 201 in the Philippines are also to be referred to this 

 new species. 



Remarks: — L. (Z.) tomlini is a very délicate species and though resembling L. (Z.) 

 lata^ differs from it in form, outline, sculpture and spinulation of the shells.
