Amphisphyra hiemalis, Couth. 
Var. Loveni, nob. 
PI. XII, Fig. 7, $. 
Spiret er om end noget nedsunket dog tydeligt i 2 
Vindinger. 
Paa St. 240—1000 Favne forekom 5 Exemplarer, 
der alle har tydeligt Spir, hvorimod et 6te har dette skjult, 
saaledes som regelmæssig er Tilfælde hos den udviklede 
Amphisphyra hiemalis, Couth. Størrelsen var dog omtrent 
den samme hos alle, nemlig: omkring 3.57”, 
Dr. Jeftreys har gjort opmærksom paa, at det af 
Lovén observerede Spir hos Amphisphyra globosa kun er et 
Ungdomsstadie, men at det fuldstændig forsvinder senere, 
naar Skallen udvikler sig. I dette Tilfælde beholder imid- 
lertid det overveiende Antal igjennem sin hele Udvikling 
Spiret.

Skallen hvid, tynd, oval, oventil truncat; Vindingerne 
2+/,—3 er synlige paa Spiret, der ligger i Niveau med 
Hovedvindingen; Suturen er grund rundt den apicale Vin- 
ding, men tiltager senere i Dybde og ender i en fin Split; 
Ventralvindingen har omtrent halve Mundaabningens Stor- 
relse; Mundaabningen er piriform, meget udvidet forneden, 
og sammenknebet, dog ikke tilspidset oventil; Læben er 
sinuos, er først udgaaende i en stump Vinkel og høier saa 
i en noget indbugtet Linie nedad, den nedre Ende er bredt 
afrundet. 
Seulpturen (Fig. 10 a) bestaar af talrige fine Spiral- 
striæ, der ser ud som Dobbellinier, idet en svagere og en 
stærkere stadig vexler; Linierne er under stærk Forstørrelse 
fint saugtakkede fremkommen derved, at de krydses af 
talrige fine Væxtstriber. 
Tenderne ligne Philine finmarchia’s. 
Kroens 2 Kalkplader er ualmindelig store; de er ikke 
mindre end ?/; Dele af Skallens Længde. 
Størrelse: 9” Axiall., 6.57” Diam. 
: Forekomst: St. 18—400 Favne. 
Paa St. 87 og 295 — 488 og 1100 Favne — fandtes 
nogle Fragmenter af en Philine, som synes at tilhøre 
denne Art. 
Amphisphyra hiemalis, Couth. 
Var. Lovéni, nob. 
Pl. XII, figs. 7, 8. 
The spire although somewhat depressed is, yet, distinct 
in 2 whorls. 
At station No. 240, Depth 1000 fathoms, 5 specimens 
were obtained, all of them having a distinct spire, whilst 
a sixth specimen has it concealed, as is uniformly the 
case with the developed Amphisphyra hiemalis, Couth. The 
size was, however, nearly uniform in all, viz. about3.57™. 
Dr. Jeffreys has pointed out that the spire in Am- 
phisphyra globosa observed by Lovén, relates to an imma- 
ture stage, and that it, subsequently, completely disappears 
when the shell is developed. In the present case, however, 
the larger number retain the spire throughout the entire 
development.

Shell white, thin, oval, truncate superiorly, 2+/.—3 
whorls visible on the spire, which lies level with the Body- 
whorl; suture shallow round the apicial whorl, but creases 
in depth subsequently, and] terminates in a minute fissure. 
The ventral whorl is about half the size of the aperture. 
The aperture is piriform, much dilated below, contracted 
above but not acuminated. The lip is sinuous, proceeding 
first at an obtuse angle, then curving in a somewhat concave 
line down-wards; the lower extremity is well rounded. 
The sculpture (fig. 10 a) consists of numerous, fine, 
spiral striæ appearing as double lines, owing to a faint one 
and a more distinct one constantly alternating. Under 
powerful magnification the lines appear minutely serrated, 
from there being traversed by numerous fine lines of growth. 
The teeth resemble those of Philime finmarchia. 
The 2 calcareous plates of the gizzard are uncom- 
monly large, and measure, not less than, two-third parts of 
the length of the shell. 
Size. Axial length, 97". Diam., 6.57”. 
Habitat: Stat. No. 18. Depth, 400 fathoms. 
At stations Nos. 87 and 295 (Depth 488 and 1100 
fathoms) a few fragments of a Philine were found, which 
appear to pertain to this species.
