EUIJMA KlISC()-Ari(!ATA. 51)1 



Rpiiinrl-s. — Tho St. I^lrtli specimen liorc lii^iircil is from tlie Wurbiirtoii 

 Collection at the l^ritish Museum, and was found some years ago, but not 

 described, by Mr. A. Hell. Althougli imperfect its distinctive features seem 

 sufficiently shown to entitle it to be considered new. It is specially characterised 

 by the length of the body-whorl and of the mouth.

S'pecific Ohafdclcr^. — Shell minute, thin, siil)ulate, smooth and glossy; whorls 

 nearly flat; spire slender, elongate, finely tapering to a rounded and twisted 

 apex; suture shallow; mouth oval, acutely angulate above, obtusely angulate 

 below ; outer and inner lips straight ; periphery sometimes keeled.

 islands. 



Fossil : St. Erth. 



Remarks. — The slightly imperfect specimen from St. Erth figured under the 

 above name is from the British Museum, wliere it has been doubtfully identified

 that originally figured by him {loc. clt.).

Fossil: Coralline (Jrag : Boy ton. 



BemarJcs. — The specimen figured under this name was found by Mr. Bell 

 among some unexamined shelly material obtained some years ago from the 

 Coralline Crag at Boyton. At first he thought it might have been the Eulinia 

 Frielei of Jordan, described by the latter as having been obtained during the 

 " Triton " Expedition and by Hermann Friele at several places off the coasts 

 of Norway.^ The periphery of that species, however, was said to have been
