was common also in the ' Challenger ' dredgings, but that he had 

 not hitherto found any satisfactory description or figure of it. 



Turbo sanguineus, Linne. 



T. sanguineus, L. S. N. ed. xii. p. 1235. 



Var. pallida. Smaller, yellowish white with a red apex or tip, and 

 having the spiral striae rather slighter and more numerous. 



Hab. Korea, 2-4 fathoms ; several specimens. Throughout the 

 Mediterranean, from a few fathoms to 120. 



Fossil. Newer Tertiaries of Nice and Southern Italy. 



The colour of Mediterranean specimens varies from blood-red 

 to yellowish-brown ; but the apex is always red. Such specimens 

 likewise differ in respect of the number and comparative stoutness 

 of the spiral striae. 



The umbilicus is perforated in the young only. It is probable 

 that Linne may have included Trochus Adansoni^ and especially 

 the variety turhindides, in his description of Turho sanguineus^ by 

 saying "umbilicus aliis perforatus, aliis nequaquam." 



It is the Turho 'purpureus of Hisso and coccineus of 

 Deshayes. 



PTEEOPODA. 

 Embolus eostealis, Eydoux ^ Souleyet. 



Spinalis rostralis, Eyd. 8f Soul. Rev. Zool. 1840, p. 236 ; Soul. Voy. 



Bonite, ii. p. 216, pi. xiii. f. 1-10. 

 Hah. Korea. Oceanic and gregarious in all southern latitudes. 

 Weinkauff mistook this for the Spinalis Jeffreysi of Forbes and 

 Hanley, which belongs to a different genus. 



Of the above named fourteen species, six (viz. Anomia ephip- 

 pium, Pecfen similis, Lepton sulcatulum, Axinus Jlexuosus, Panopea 

 plicata, and Turho sanguineus) are here noticed for the first time 

 as living in the North Pacific as well as in the North Atlantic ; 

 Nucinella ovalis and Kellia pumila, which had been regarded as 

 extinct, the former not only specifically but generically, are now 

 recorded as recent : the other six species (viz. Terehratula caput- 

 serpentis, Crenella decussafa, Lascea rubra, Saxicava rugosa, Punc- 

 turella noachina, and Embolus rostralis) were already know^n to in- 

 habit both oceans. No less than nine out of these fourteen species 

 are Coralline-Crag fossils : they are Terehratula caput-serpentisy 

 Anomia ephippium, Pecten similis, JVucinella ovalis, Lascea rubra, 

 Kellia pumila, Axinus Jlexuosus, Panopea plica ta, and Saxicava 

 rugosa.
