Distribution (additional).- — 



Fossil: Boxstone fauna. Coralline Crag - : Gedgrave. Isle of 

 Man. 



Remarks. — To the localities for this shell given on p. 89 may be added the 

 Goiner pit of Coralline Crag at Gedgrave. The specimen here figured was found 

 by me some years ago at Beaumont, a locality at which, by the kindness of the 

 late A. H. Stanford, Esq., of Beaumont Hall, I was able to spend, very profitably, 

 several weeks. If the section is still open, it may be recommended as a promising 

 spot for collectors, as the famous pit of Waltonian Crag at Oakley is not generally 

 accessible. Owing to a mistake in the identification of several species, wrongly 

 supposed to be arctic, the Beaumont fauna was for many years regarded as 

 belonging to the latest division of the Red Crag. 1 It is, however, characteristically 

 and undoubtedly Waltonian, possibly intermediate between Walton and Oakley. 



The genus Desmoulea, formerly included with Nassa, belongs to a southern 

 type found in the Miocene and Pliocene deposits of Italy and Sicily, and recent on 

 the coasts of Africa. 



D. conglobata is exceedingly rare in the English Crag, but has been recorded as 

 a " Boxstone " fossil. There is a specimen of it, from the Coralline Crag, in the 

 Sedgwick Museum at Cambridge, and Mr. Bell has recognised another, imperfect, 

 from the Manxland Drift, in the Strickland collection at the same place. 



Genus BUCCINUM, Linne (continued from p. 115). 



Buccinum undatum, var. pulchra, F. W. Harmer. Plate X, fig. 13 ; Plate XXXV, 



fig. 3 ; Plate XLIV, figs 17, 18. 



1914. Buccinum undatum, var. pulchra, F. W. Harmer, Plioc. Moll. Gt. Brit., pt. i, p. 96, pi. x, fig. 13. 



Dimensions. — L. 35 — 40 mm. B. 20 — 25 mm. 



Distribution. — Fossil : (additional) Wexford gravels. 



Remarks. — Although the coarsely sculptured Buccinum undatum of our British 

 coasts, including the short spired var. littoralis, occurs at Wexford, the form most 

 common at that locality is thin, delicate and translucent, with finer sculpture than
