Dimensions. — L. 32 — 35 mm. B. 14 — 15 mm. 



Distribution. — Recent: Norwegian seas to Spitzbergen, in 123 — 350 fathoms. 

 Fossil : Waltonian Crag : Little Oakley. Newbournian : Wald- 

 ringfield. Butleyan : Butley. Pleistocene : Norway (0yen). 



Remarks. — One of the fossils (fig. 8) represented under this name was found at 

 Butley with the long-spired form which Wood figured as typical of the present 

 species. It closely corresponds with that described as Nejptunea {Sipho) virgata 

 by Mr. Friele, which he originally considered {op. cit.) distinct from Wood's species. 

 Having recently compared his shell with one of my Oakley specimens he has now 

 written me that he is satisfied they are identical. I retain the term virgata as 

 varietal, applicable both to the Crag and the Recent form. Wood's specific name 

 altits is the older of the two. 



The whorls of the Crag fossils are somewhat more convex than those of the 

 Recent shell, but the sculpture is of the same specially fine and delicate character ; 

 the upper whorls are ornamented in both by inconspicuous longitudinal plications. 

 The Recent specimen (fig. 7) which Mr. Friele has kindly alloAved me to figure, was 

 dredged off the Norwegian coast at a depth of 350 fathoms.

 fig. 17a.i 



Distributioji. — Butleyan Crag : Butley. 



Remarks. — The fossil figured under this name was found by Mr. Kennard at 

 Butley with those described above. It has their delicate sculpture, and although 

 differing somewhat from Wood's shell is no doubt identical with it. His figure 

 does not show the mouth and canal, which are narrower than in the type-form. 

 Our specimen seems to be full-grown. 



Anomalosipho Bellii, sp. nov. Plate XV, fig. 13. 



Specific Characters. — Shell ovato-acuminate, turreted ; whorls 6 or 7, convex, 

 the last five-eighths the total length, sharply excavated below ; ornamented by 



^ The artist {op. cit.) did not give a very accurate figure of Wood's specimen, wliich is in the 

 British Museum (Nat. Hist.).
