figured, agrees in this respect with the first ; another which I have received from 

 the Isle of Man, with the second.

Varietal Characters. — More slender and generally smaller than the type form 

 of B. liarpularia, and sometimes with a more elongate spire. 



Dimensions. — L. 8 — 10 mm. B. 8 — 4 mm. 



Distribution. — B,ecent : Great Britain — Oban (Jeffreys); Norwegian coast — 

 ■Christian sund to Tromso, Lofoten Islands. 



Fossil : Coralline Crag : Boyton. 



BemarJcs. — Dr. Odhner has kindly sent me a Recent specimen under this name, 

 -dredged near Bodybet in 20 fathoms, for comparison, with which some fossils 

 collected by Mr. W. M. Crowfoot at Boyton, agree. Dr. Odhner speaks of it as a 

 small variety. He has identified a larger shell from the same locality, which he 

 says is the same. The Recent form is generally rose-coloured.

fig. 4. 

 1899. Bela multistriata, Posselt, Medd. oni Gronl., vol. xxiii, p. 163. 



Specific Characters. — Shell oval, minute, strong; whorls 4 — 5, convex, 

 abruptly enlarging, the last two-thirds the total length ; ornamented l)y numerous, 

 closely-set and excessively-fine spiral strise, intersected by faint lines of growth 

 and an occasional varix ; spire short, turreted ; apex bulbous ; suture deep ; 

 mouth oval, rather wide, angulated above ; inner lip forming a broad glaze on the 

 pillar ; labial notch small and shallow. 



Dimensions. — L. 5 mm. B. 2 mm. 



Distribution. — Becent : Greenland. 



Fossil : Bridlington drift. 



BemarJcs. — Through the kindness of Mr. W. B. Headley, of Stamford, I am 

 able to figure one of Jeffreys' type specimens of this charming little shell. There 

 are four specimens of it in Mr. Headley's collection in one box labelled, in Jeffreys' 

 '\^ell-known writing, Pleurotoma viultistrvita. It seems to be a distinct form.
