358 PLIOCENE MOLLUSCA. 



Pleistocene : Macclesfield, Gloppa, Moel Tryfaen, Garvel Park, near Greenock. 



Remarks, —This species has been reported, always as a rare shell, from but few 

 localities in the Crag. I have, however, one or two specimens from Oakley. Being 

 fragile, fragments of it may have been easily overlooked. I have noticed a few- 

 examples in the Wexford stuff that has reached me. It has been found in places 

 in our Pleistocene deposits. 



Trophon (Trophonopsis) Kitchini, sp. nov. Plate XII, fig. 27. 



1915. Trophon Fabricii, F. W. Harmer, Plioc Moll. Gt. Brit., pt. i, p. 130, pi. xii, fig. 27. 



Specific Characters. — Shell small, solid, fusiform, turreted ; whorls 6, convex, 

 the upper part slightly angulate, the last two-thirds the total length, excavated 

 below; ornamented by strong, rounded, prominent and distant longitudinal costse, 

 G on the body- whorl, reaching the base of the shell, and by well-marked spiral 

 ridges which cross the costas but do not extend to the suture ; suture deep ; mouth 

 oval, angulate above ; outer lip thickened externally by the labial rib ; canal 

 short, open, turning to the left. 



Dimensions. — L. 17 mm. B. 9 mm. 



Distribution. — Not known living. 

 Fossil : Isle of Man. 



Remarks. — A specimen figured in PI. XII, fig. 27, was referred both by the 

 authorities at Jermyn Street and by myself to Trophon Fabricii ; I am now disposed 

 to consider it a different species, and, so far as I know, new. I have much 

 pleasure in dedicating it to Dr. P. L. Kitchin, the palaeontologist to the Geological 

 Survey. It comes from the Jermyn Street collection and was obtained from the 

 Manxland drift.

 1914. Meyeria alba, F. W. Harmer, Plioc. Moll. Gt. Brit., pt, i, p. 135, pi. xiii, figs. 15, 16. 



Distribution. — Recent : (additional) Norwegian coast — Bergen, Hardanger, and 

 as far south as the Azores. 



Remarks. — In adopting the generic term Meyeria for this species on p. 135 

 I unfortunately lost sight of the fact, in common with one or two other authors, 

 that, as pointed out by Canon Norman, it had been previously used by McCoy 

 (1849) for a group of Crustaceans; our fossil should therefore be known by his
