Jaffa, 16 up to 15 mm. and over a hundred tips; in 110° 
fathoms off Beachport, 1 adult and 191 up to 20 mm.; in 
130 fathoms off Cape Jaffa, 42 up to 7 mm.; in 150 ation 
oft Beachport, 17 up to 15 mm.; in 200 fathoms off Beach- 
port, 8 poor and small. The finest examples, as to size and 
condition, are found in water from 15 to 25 fathoms; beyond 
that depth, though much more abundant, they are immature 
or smaller.

Dredged in 40 fathoms off Beachport, 211 of all sizes to 
adult; in 55 fathoms off Cape Borda, 3 young fresh, 3 adult 
perfect; in 62 fathoms off Cape Borda, 69 quite fresh up to 
full grown and 9 perfect adult; in 90 fathoms off Cape 
Jaffa, 24 good, well coloured, 32 immature; in 110 fathoms 
off Beachport, 22 good adult, 28 immature; in 130 fathoms 
off Cape Jaffa, 11 immature ; in 150 fathoms off Beachport, 
23 in moderate condition up to adult, 16 immature fresh ; 
in 200 fathoms off Beachport, 11 poor and immature. The 
habitat of this species differs somewhat from that of 7’. runcin- 
ata, Watson, which attains its maximum size and is abundant 
in water from 15 to 25 fathoms. 7'. acc/sa has not been taken 
by me at shallower depths than 40 fathoms; it did not accom- 
pany 7. runcinata in 35 fathoms off St. Francis Island. 
Turritella circumligata, n. sp. Pl. xxx., figs. 3 and 4. 
Shell solid, of thirteen whorls, including a protoconch of 
two smooth convex whorls with a prominent round apex. The 
first three spire-whorls are smooth but for faint growth lines, 
and are very slightly convex. The fourth has four spiral 
cords very faintly marked, which become very stout in the 
later whorls. The suprasutural cord, the strongest, is round 
and projects beyond the suture, so as to imbricate the shell ; 
the infrasutural is as wide, but not so high, and slopes from 
the suture; close to this cord is a much narrower and less 
prominent one, and further removed from this and closer to 
the suprasutural cord is another round spiral. In the last.
