356 DR JAMES COSMO MELVILL AND MR ROBERT STANDEN ON THE 
Judging from figure and description quoted above, this interesting Bela is identical 
with specimens found at Seymour Island, Grahamland, by the Swedish expedition. 
Bela fulvicans, Strebel. 
Bela fulvicans, H. Strebel, Schwed. Sudpolar Huped., p. 15, Taf. ii. fig. 25 a-d (1908). 
Hab.—Burdwood Bank, from Sponge, at 56 fathoms. Station 346. 
An imperfect, bleached specimen seems, from the sculpture, to be the above 
species, which occurred both in South Georgia Islands and in Grahamland. 
? Thesbia sp. 
Hab.—Burdwood Bank, from Sponge, at 56 fathoms. Station 346. 
One example, more imperfect than the preceding, of a bleached shell, showing 
faint flexuous oblique longitudinal costellation, mouth narrow oblong, whorls fairly 
smooth, hardly impressed at the sutures. Dimensions: long. 13, lat. 5 mm. It 
is quite impossible to differentiate it further. 
Savatieria concinna, sp. n. (Plate, fig. 17). 
S. testa ovato-fusiformi, compacta, solidula, subpellucente, albida, anfractibus 6, quorum apicales 
duo bulbosi, vitrei, nitidi, perleeves, ceteris apud suturas impressis, subventricosis, longitudinaliter arcté 
costulatis, costis crassiusculis, gemmatis, ultimo anfractu infra medium evanidis, deinde ad basim spiraliter 
sulculoso, numero costularum anfractus ultimi cirea 22, apertura ovata, labro simplice, columella parum 
incrassata, canali vix prolongata. 
Long. 4°55, lat. 2 mm.

Savatieria is a small genus, peculiar to these regions, diagnosed by RocHEBRUNE 
and Masitue. It is nearly allied to Bela, differing principally in the abbreviated 
canal, whorls peculiarly impressed suturally, and more distinct elaboration of 
sculpture. Several species have lately been published by Dr Hermann Srrepet, 
and to one of them, S. molinx, our species is akin, differing mainly in sculpture, 
being supplied with nearly double the number of longitudinal ribs, while the 
gemmate beading is more pronounced in S. concmna. Only one example, happily 
in first-class condition at the time of description, was procured, though unfortunately 
it was accidentally broken at the mouth before it could be figured. We consider that 
Lachesis meridionalis, K. A. Sm.,* is synonymic with Savatieria moline, Strebel, 1905, 
and bas priority of twenty-four years over it.
