Praeger — The Marine Shells 
Odostomia insculpta, Montagu. 
Observed by Jeffreys in Turbot Bank sand which was sent to him for 
examination — Hyndm an . 
Odostomia otoliqua, Alder. 
“ Two specimens obtained from shell sand collected at Bundoran by Mrs. 
Hancock ” — Thompson. 
Odostomia Warreni, Thompson. 
“ A specimen from Bundoran, Mrs. Hancock ’’—Thompson (sub Tissoa 
Warrenii). Turbot Bank, Mr. Waller— Hyndman. In the body of Jeffreys’ 
“British Conchology” it appears as 0. obliqua var. Warreni, but in the 
Supplement to that work it is restored to the rank of a species. It was first 
described by Mr. Thompson in the “ Annals of Natural History,” from 
specimens found at Portmarnock by Mr. T. W. Warren, an assiduous Irish 
conchologist, in whose honour Mr. Thompson named it as above. 
Odostomia decussata, Montagu. 
This beautiful little shell has been found in Turbot Bank sand by Mr. 
Jeffreys. Specimens labelled “Co. Antrim” are in the Belfast Museum 
Collection. 
Odostomia indistincta, Montagu. 
Bundoran, Mrs. Hancock— Thompson. On the Turbot Bank on several 
occasions- Hyndman. In Strangford Lough and the channel adjoining, very 
rare — Dickie. (All sub Chemnitzia indistincta). 
Odostomia interstincta, Montagu. 
It would appear to be of common occurrence in the Turbot bank shell sand 
(Chemnitzia interstincta), but is not noted elsewhere. A widely distributed 
and common species generally. 
Odostomia spiralis, Montagu. 
“ Very sparingly, in shell sand collected at Magilligan hy Miss Moody 
Thompson. Common on the Turbot Bank— Hyndman. Entrance to Strang- 
ford Lough, 12-15 fathoms, very rare— Dickie. 
Odostomia excavata, Philippi. 
“Bundoran, Mr. Warren ” —Thompson (sub Eissoa Marveyi). Turbot 
Bank, Mr. Waller— Hyndman. Mr. Thompson named it It. Sarveyi in 
honour of Dr. W. H. Harvey, who discovered the first British examples, in 
Co. Clare ; Dr. Harvey had previously named it Cingula sculpta. Both these 
proved to be subsequent to Philippi’s name of U. excavata. 
Odostomia scalaris, Philippi. 
Found in Turhot Bank sand hy Mr. Jeffreys -Hyndman (Chemnitzia 
scalaris ). Dickie records it from Strangford Lough, but from a remark in 
Jeffreys’ work, it would appear that it was the following variety which he 
obtained there. 
var. rufescens. Bare, off Groomsport (Waller) ; and dredged on the Turbot
