Den at Prof. Sars (1. c. Pl. X Fig. 16) afbildede 
Radula tilhører ikke denne Art, men næstfølgende. Saavel 
Sars som jeg holdt nemlig J. Ossiami for kun en Varietet af 
Turtom, da den første Gang i 1877 blev funden paa St. 
124 og den af dette Exemplar udtagne Radula er det Sars 
har tegnet.

Fra J. Turtoni adskiller den sig ved en mindre solid 
Skal, en haaret Epidermis, en mere regelmæssig formet 
Mundaabning, en mere gradvis Aftagen af Vindingerne og 
en stump nedtrykt Apex (Tab. I, Fig. 3). NSculpturen be- 
staar hos J. Turtoni af flade Ribber; hos vor Art er disse 
derimod skarpe og mere fremtrædende. 
Operculum (Fig. 2) er i sin nedre Ende bgiet. 
Paa St. 164 blev en Algkapsel med fuldt udviklet 
Embryon og et ungt Exemplar fundet. 
Aigkapslen (Fig. 5) viser en fra foregaaende Art for- 
skjellig Form. Den er citrongul, lang oval, noget opsvul- 
met og indeholder kun 1 Embryon. 
Embryonet (Fig. 6 a, >) viser sig ogsaa afvigende fra 
sin Slægtning.

«1 
The Radula figured by Professor Sars (1. c. Pl. X, 
fig. 16) does not belong to this, but to the following species. 
Both Sars and myself held J. Ossiami, when first met 
with on the cruise in 1877, at Station 124, as a mere 
variety of Twtoni; and of the Radula taken from this 
specimen it is that Sars made his drawing.

Habitat: — Stats. 124, 164, 237 (fragments), and 362; 
from 380 to 459 fathoms. 
This species differs from J. Turtomi in having a less 
substantial shell, a hispid epidermis, and an obsolete, depressed 
apex (PI. I, fig. 3); the mouth, too, exhibits a more regular 
form, and the whorls decrease more gradually. The sculp- 
ture in J. Turtomi has the ribs flattened: in the species 
here described they are sharp and more proniiment. 
The operculum (fig. 2) has its lower extremity bent. 
At Station 164 an egg-eapsule, containing a fully 
developed embryo, and a young specimen, came up in the 
dredge. 
The egg-capsule (fig. 5), containing only one embryo, 
differs in form from that of the foregoing species: it is 
elongato-ovate, tumid, and citron-yellow in colour. 
The embryo (fig. 6 a, 5), too, varies from that of its 
congener. 
In Ann. and Mag. N. Hist., XIX, p. 163, Pl. X, 
fig. 9, Mr. Richard Howse has described the egg-capsule 
and the embryo of J. (Fusus) Turtomi. He found the capsule 
to contain as many as 6 embryos, of a slender, cylindrical 
form. 
The young stage (fig 
g. 
4) differs widely in appearance
