ANOMALOSIPHO VERKRUZENI. 149 



except near the ha&e of the last Avhorl. Dr. Dall uses the terra Plicifusus for this 

 species, but he has inckided forms which depart widely from the present type.^ 



The broken Crag specimen which I refer to P. Kroijeri is from Oakley ; 

 although imperfect and worn it shows both the longitudinal and spiral sculpture 

 Wood figures a similarly imperfect fossil from the Red Crag of Shottisham. I give 

 a perfect shell for comparison from the Ipswich Museum, originally received from 

 Sir J. "VY. Dawson as a Canadian fossil from the Pleistocene deposits of the Riviere 

 du Loup. Mr. A. Bell has sent me another from the Isle of Man. 



Mr. Friele states that P. Kroyeri was found in great abundance in Magdalena 

 Bay, Spitzbergen, as many as fifty specimens being brought up in a single 

 trawl. They all belonged to his yarietj pumila (B), and were from 60 to 70 mm. 

 in length. Specimens of var. major {A) were found at the same time, one of which 

 attained a length of 104 mm. 



The specimens figured by MM. Dautzenberg and Fischer are also large, 

 measuring 90 mm. by 40 mm. 



Genus ANOMALOSIPHO, Dautzenberg and Fischer, 1912. 



Tjjjje. — Neptnnea (Sijjlio) Verhrnzeiii, Kobelt. 



BeniarJcs. — The above name, appropriate, though not very euphonious, has been 

 proposed by MM. Dautzenberg and Fischer as a sub-genus for Siphos having an 

 elongate spire and a very short canal, of which they take^. Verlivilzeni as the type. 

 I have included with it a small but similar and distinct group of Red Crag fossils 

 represented by Tvoplion altiis, S. V. Wood, together with one or two others which, 

 although shorter, have the same general character and appearance. Such shells 

 have been variously referred to Troplion, Nepiunca and Sipho.
