SHELLS FROM KOREA STRATT.

Kellta pumila, aS. v. Wood. 



K. pumila, J. Sowerhy, Min. Conch, tab. (537. f. 3 ; S. V. Wood, Mon. 

 Crag Moll. p. 124, tab. xii. f 15, a, b. 



Hah. Korea, 36 fathoms ; two valves. * Porcupine ' Exped., 

 1869, off the west of Ireland, 422 fathoms : 1870, between Fal- 

 mouth and Gibraltar, 220-795 fathoms. 



Fossil. Pliocene : Coralline Crag, Sutton. The figures in the 

 'Crag MoUusca' do not quite agree with the description, nor 

 with specimens which Mr. Wood kindly sent me ; the figures in 

 * Mineral Conchology ' are excellent. Also Sciacca, Sicily {Mon- 

 terosato) . 



This ought not to remain in the genus Kellta. I should be 

 inclined to place it in Philippi's genus Scacchia as typified by 

 S. elliptica.
