Burrow Island, Mr. Bean and Mr. Barlee. 
In my former paper I had confounded this species with O. 0b- 
liqua, but am now satisfied of its distinctness, by reason of the 
spire being less oblique, the whorls more convex, the regular and 
close striz on the lower half of each whorl, the absence of a fold 
on the pillar, and especially of the well-defined umbilicus. I re- 
ceived the species some years ago from Mr. Bean under the MS. 
name of decorata; and as this name has been used by British 
conchologists, it may be inexpedient to change it for perhaps a 
more appropriate appellation. It differs from O. diaphana in its 
less cylindrical form and the greater convexity of its whorls, be- 
sides possessing spiral strie and an umbilicus, which are wanting 
in the other species. 
O. obliqua. Lerwick, Mr. Barlee. 
O. insculpta. Dunvegan, Skye; Oban ; Burrow Island; Mr. 
Barlee. 
O. truncatula (n. s.). 
Testa oblongo-cylindrica, tenuis, nitida, alba, striis subtilibus 
spiraliter corrugata preesertim in anfractibus apicalibus, longitu- 
dinaliter ad suturam striis undulatis sculpta; anfractus 6, con- 
vexiusculi, turriculati, sensim increscentes, primo velut exciso ; 
sutura obliqua, profunda; apertura ovalis, superne in angulum 
contracta, subtus effusa; peristoma fere continuum, postice re- 
plicatum ; umbilicus nullus ; denticulus conspicuus, plicseformis. 
Long. 2, lat. ;4, une. 
Plymouth, very rare; Mr. Barlee. I have only seen one adult 
specimen. ‘This species has somewhat the form of “ Turbo sub- 
truncatus,’ Mont., which is the young of Truncatella Montagui ; 
and the specimens recorded by Montagu as having been found 
*‘in sand from Saleomb” may possibly be referable to it. It is 
however a true Odostomia, and differs in form and markings from 
any of its congeners, The animal appears to have a yellowish 
colour. 
O, dolioliformis. Burrow Island; west coast of Scotland ; 
Mr. Barlee.
