Specific Characters. — Shell small ; spire long, slender, acute ; whorls nearly 

 flat, the last depressed, short, less than half the total length ; suture superficial ; 

 mouth oval, terminating in a short and open canal. 



Dimensions. — (Of Crag specimens) : L. 12 mm. B. 3 mm. 



Distribution. — Not known living. 



Fossil : Waltonian Crag : Little Oakley. 



Miocene : Italy (Elveziano), south-west France, Touraine. 



Bemarlis. — I have two or three specimens from Oakley, one of which is here 

 figured. They are too much worn to show the characteristic longitudinal sculpture 

 of Basterot's Pleurotoina terehra, but otherwise resemble some fossils I obtained 

 from the Faluns of Touraine, both in size and form. M. Dollfus, to whom I 

 have submitted my Oaklej^ fossils, considers they may be referred to that species. 

 They do not agree so nearly with the Italian shell, which is larger, nor with the 

 figure of it given by Bellardi, as with the Touraine form. This species is very 

 distinct, differing from other Pleurotomidfe by its slender character.

1872. Pleurotoma Tarentini ?, S. V. Wood, Mon. Crag Moll., 1st Suppl. pt. i, p. 34, pi. iii, fig. 5. 



Specific Characters. — Shell remarkably slender, spindle-form ; whorls 7, flat, the 

 last about two-thirds the total length ; spire elongate, ending in a blunt, rounded 

 apex ; suture very slight ; ornamented by fine, clearly sculptured and rather 

 distant spiral ridges, the first, immediately below the suture, being separated from 

 those under it by a well-marked space without sculpture ; mouth long, very narrow, 

 continuous with a short and open canal ; columella nearly straight. 



Dimensions. — L. 11 mm. B, 3-5 mm. 



Distribution. — Not known livine-. 



Fossil : Coralline Crag : Gedgrave, Sutton. 



Remarks. — The specimen figured under this name, after Prof. P. F. Kendall, 

 one of the first to study seriously, in association with the late R. Gr. Bell, the 

 molluscan fauna of Walton-on-Naze, is from the York Museum, where it is labelled
