BRILL PUBLISHERS AND PRINTERS LEYDEN — I Q I 3 PART V TOXOGLOSSA WITH A SUPPLEMENT The very interesting section of the Toxoglossa contains 228 species, of which no less than 65 appear to be new to science, moreover to this part a small supplement to preceding parts has been added, containing 3 new species. The family of the Pleurotomidae, with 127 enumerated species and a few varieties, has given me mucrr trouble, but has not given me full satisfaction, the systematic position of many species remaining still more or less doubtful and the classification of this family much wants a revision. I have often foliowed the arrangement of the late Prof. Boettger for the species from the Philippines. The relatively small number of specimens dredged with the soft parts, prevented me from examining the radular teeth, in most cases where they might have given some light. Under these circumstances, I am very grateful to those persons who have assisted me in the identification of critical specimens. Mr. E. A. Smith I.S.O. often compared them with the treasures of the British Museum, Mr. J. Cosmo Melvill has given me his advice and in some cases specimens for comparison, Mr. J. R. le Bockton Tomlin likewise assisted me by identi- fication or loan of specimens, Mr. J. J. Verwijnex has again much obliged me by the loan of books from the rich library of Teyler's Museum, and other persons amongst which I wish to name Dr. R. Horst, have assisted me in several ways. I beg them all to accept my kind thanks. In two cases I was compelled to erect new genera of Pleurotomidae, as it was impossible to locate the species in the existing ones, though I was not at all eager to enlarge the number of groups, as long as no revision of the whole family has been undertaken by some person who is in particularly favorable conditions, to fulfil this much needed but very trouble- some task.

Shell small, subcylindrically subulate, dark yellowish-brown, with upper part of ribs whitish. Upper whorls wanting, remaining whorls 7, but may have been nearly the doublé, if one considers the subulate shape ; whorls nearly straight, only slightly convex, separated by a deep suture, with slightly curved ribs, 18 on last whorl, divided at the upper part by a groove, consisting of a row of conspicuous punctures between the ribs, but scarcely affecting the ribs themselves and with 4 impressed spiral striae on each whorl, conspicuous between the ribs and at their sides, but very weak on their crests; about 12 spiral striae on last whorl, of which S crossed by the ribs, the interstices of the basal ones having more the character of granular lirae, are not ribbed. Aperture elongate, angular above, with a sinus formed by the body whorl and infrasutural belt; right margin obtuse, columellar side with a strong layer of enamel, its interior margin with two folds, canal short, divided by an oblique rib, closely striated above and below it. Interior of aperture smooth, brown. Basal sinus narrow. Alt. n1/,, (may have been 19 or 20), lat. 28/4; apert. alt. 3, lat. i1/^ Mill.

The specimen from Stat. 71 is a little doubtful, its subsutural band being less con- spicually spirally striated than specimens identified by Mr. Smith ; on the latter I find 2 faint yellowish spiral bands, not mentioned in the original description, and scarcely or not at all perceptible in dead shells, one just belovv the subsutural band, the other above the suture or on periphery of last whorl; as this species as far as I am aware, has not yet been figured, I thought it desirable to give a figure of a not very large specimen (only 17 Mill.) which is cjuite fresh and has been examined by its author. 15.

Ru vi and Tryon consider this species to bc only a synonym of T. funiculata Hinds; as far as I can judge after one specimen of each, Archimedes has the subsutural lira less prominent, the number of lirae of each whorl is less, the lirae are more granular, the last whorl is considerably shorter, moreover the colour is much lighter. As this species seems to be unfigured, I have given a figure. 34. Tereóra (Striotereórum) virgo n. sp. Pi. XXV, fig. 13. Stat. 50. Bay of Badjo, West coast of Flores. Up to 40 M. Mud, sand and shells. 1 Spec. Shell elongately turreted, shining, white, upper postnuclear whorls cream-coloured. Whorls , of which 21/., form a large, mamillate, smooth nucleus; postnuclear whorls at first rather straight, the last 8 concave; sculpture consisting on Iower whorls of a conspicuous, crenulated, subsutural rib, accompanied by a narrower second one, separated by a strong groove, this second rib being likewise crenulated or beaded, concave part of whorls crossed by fiat axial ribs and with remote spiral groovcs, 3 in number, so that this concave part is 4-lirate, of lirae the upper 2 are the largest. At all the lower whorls have 6 lirae, inclusive of the subsutural one. Last whorl short, with a larger lira below its angle, separated from upper part by a stronger groove and with some narrower lirae on the base. Aperture subquadrate, with a short, sharp sinus above, a short wide canal below: peristpme blunt; columellar margin short, faintly bicostate, with an appressed layer of enamel.

This shell is quite differenl from the preceding one, by its more or less concave whorls, much less acicular than Archimedes, which it slightly resembles in some respects; the 377 whorls are much broader, consequently much less in number, T. Archimedes of the same lenght would have 24 whorls ; the bulbous nucleus may also serve as a good distinctive character. Hastula Adams. 1. Hastula (Hastula) matheroniana Deshayes. DESHAYES. Proc.

Reeve considered this species at first as a synonym of T. strigillata, but afterwards in the „corrigenda" separates it. Tryon remained in doubt, but finally refers it to strigillata. Unfortunately the only specimen is not in sufficiënt condition for a figure, as not only the shell has two holes, but the aperture is severely damaged. I think it is sufficiently distinct by its size, acicular shape, sharper ribs and colour. 2. Hastula (Impages) coertilescens Lamarck. Lamarck. An. s. vert. Ed. II, Vol. X, p. 245. KlENER. Coq. Viv.

After having made some trials to arrange the species of this genus in the known sub- genera and sections, I find that authors are not at all agreeing in this respect, so much so that even one and the same species has been located in different sections, by the same author, in subsequent papers ; under these circumstances I have foliowed Tryon, hïs monograph being the latest, which enumerates the species in a systematic order; his method, based on the views of Weinkaüff, brings the species to natural groups; I have only made a few exceptions. 1.

Colour of body-whorl whitish-brown, with irregular redbrown perpen- dicular clouds and numerous darker spiral lines, 21 in number, leaving a narrow upper zone and a larger submedian one nearly white, with a few scattered redbrown points, giving the impression of 3 other, strongly interrupted lines; base spotted with same colour, with about 7 spiral grooves.

I!\ 39i its vivid and elegant colourmarkings, reminding those of C. planiliratus, as figured by Sowerby, I was a little misled, but its shape is exactly that of the middle-sized C. inucronatus of the Siboga-materials; these specimens vary in the development of the grooves, partly in accordance with age, the ventral side being mainly stronger grooved than the dorsal one. Reeve (1. c.) says : "varying remarkably in their general appearance; most of them are obsoletely coronated, and all have the grooves more or less developed". If more materials were present and the differences proved to be constant, this form might be described as a good species. 42. Conus f A sper ij sulcatus Hwass. HWASS. Ene.

Though the specimen is evidently young and allied to the preceding species, I could not unite it, as the particulars of sculpture of the considerably lower spire differ too much from that of C. aculciformis, the whorls being much more prominent at the suture, with quite different sculpture, the shell is much less grooved and more shining, the colour, though perhaps a little faded, seems to be much lighter.

The nuclear whorls, about 4 in number, are at first smooth, then over a larger or smaller part costulate, with more or less conspicuous traces of a narrow, undulated keel, just above the sutures (this nucleus remembers the section Gemmula).

It is not without some hesitation that I describe this new species on a probably incom- plete specimen, but as the number of species in the section to which it belongs is not over- whelming, I think it may afterwards be recognizable if adult specimens are captured. lts nearest ally may be P. carinata Gray, as defined by Smith (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., Ser. 6, Vol. XVIII, 1896, p. 368), which should be the same as P. spcciosa of Reeve, Weinkaüff and Tryon. It differs-by the large number of spirals, of which there are but from 1 to 3 in Gray's figure, on Plate 23 of his "Mollusca" in the "Animal Kingdom", Vol. XII, though the peristome of that figure seems to indicate a larger number of lirae. In Reeve's figure (Conch. Ie. fig. 9) the number of keels is likewise much smaller, on the contrary the nodules of keel are much more numerous than in the new species, the same is the case with Weinkauff's figures (Jahrb.

The only specimen is very fine and large, its length is 63 Mill., though the nuclear whorls are not intact, its breadth is 29 Mill.; these measurements surpass by far those of Watson's specimen (1.4X0.53 in.), that of Smith (47X20 Mill.) and of von Martens' var. aethiopica (37 X 14 Mill.), the var. obsolescens v. Marts. being still larger (67X22 Mill.) if the text is correct, the line accompanying the figure is only 57 Mill. and the figure of 72 Mill. has a breadth of 32 Mill. The Siboga-specimen contains the soft parts, however in too much contracted state, to say much about them. I see a thick siphon, strong tentacles, the foot is rounded posteriorly and bears a comparatively small, corneous, thick, oval, concave operculum, with the nucleus at the right side, its length is about 51/,,, its breadth 3]/3 Mill. 41 SIBOGA-EXPEDITIE XLIX'c. 53 Drillia Gray. i . / ' .

A worse evil is that the limits of the sections are so ill-defined, that no two authors agree in referring the species to one section or to another, under such circumstances I thought it letter not to quote them at all. 2.

It is reddish brown, with white upper whorls, light coloured near the base and on the ribs, but I can tracé no clark zone, as figured by Reeve. It is too incomplete (young) to give it a varietal name, length only 2 1 Mill., moreover it is possible that it might have been more typical if adult. It have not quoted the figures of Weinkauff or Tryon, that of Tryon being a copy of Reeve's fïgure, Weinkauff's figure agreeing no more with the Siboga-shell ; both authors consider this species to be a synonym of D. flavidula. 5.

Shell fusiform, rather solid, uniformly red-brown, lighther behind peristome and at the sutural sinus, and with orange base. Whorls 6, (apex broken; the number of whorls may have been at least 10) rather convex, slightly excavated below the conspicuous suture, which is accom- panied by an inconspicuous infrasutural thread. Sculpture consisting of somewhal oblique ribs, neari ing the entire whorl in the upper ones, but becoming obsolete in the infrasutural ■il of lower whorls, about 15 ribs on last whorl, of which the ventral ones are obsolete, that behind the peristome very strong, varix-like, moreover the shell is covered with fine and very fine spiral striae, only visible under a lens, 6 spiral lirae cross the ribs, in m with intermediate, much finer lirae and 3 to 4 very faint ones in the excavation ; 44 409 on the last whorl the number of principal lirae amounts to 20. Aperture oblong, narrow, with thin peristome, protracted about the middle, with a deep, rather wide sinus above (fig. 1 ,) columellar side with a thick layer of enamel, with a flat, whitish tubercle above at the sinus, straight below, peristome margined with red-brown interiorly, with a light violet layer of enamel behind, in the depth again red-brown, upper part of columellar layer red- brown.

Though this only specimen is incomplete, it seems to deserve description. It has some superficial resemblance with Pleurotoma (Drillia) castanea Reeve, by its shape and colour, but it differs in sculpture, is less angular, D. castanea being according to description smooth, with fine grooves at the base, Weinkauff's description and figure of that species (Conch. Cab. Pleurotoma, p. 102, PI. 22, fig. 46) scarcely agree with those of Reeve, as his shell is "spiraliter liratula", which should better agree with the Siboga-specimen. I can scarcely believe that DriiUa ruUdo- the differences could depend on age, as Weinkauff suggests, at least the upper whorls in my specimen are likewise lirate, Weinkauff's figure represents a much broader angular shell, more strombiform. 11.

Shell elongately fusiform, moderately solid, light yellowish-brown, lighter on the canal. Whorls about 1 1, of which about \lJ„ form a smooth, inflated, laterally-inclined nucleus. Postnuclear whorls angular, very convex, separated by a linear, undulated suture, accompanied by a faint infrasutural rib, more conspicuous on upper whorls ; upper part of whorls conspicuously exca- vated, lower part with strong, short, nodulous, oblique ribs, abruptly ending at the excavation, scarcely reaching the basal suture in lower whorls. There are 3 faint, raised, spiral lirae in the excavation, crossed by elegantly curved, partly riblike striae, 4 to 5 stronger lirae crossino- the ribs, with a few faint striae above them on the limit between ribs and excavation in lower whorls; on the penultimate whorl, another liration appears at some distance above the suture, amounting to 3 rather remote, strong lirae on last whorl, and a large number (about 20) on basal part of last whorl and canal ; body-whorl strongly attenuated below, ending in a long, slightly curved canal. Aperture ovate, probably with a rather wide, deep sinus (the peristome is broken), columellar margin concave above, strongly contorted below, with a thin layer of enamel. Alt. 288/4, lat. 8; apert. alt. 1 21/,, lat. about f/z Mill. The specimen from Stat. 159 has the lirae in the excavation somewhat more apparent, which may be due to its being a dead, calcified shell; one of the specimens from Stat. 256 is young and very bad, that which has served for description, though incomplete, seemed to be remarkable enough to deserve a name, for though broken, it is a rather fresh shell, the great 45 depth may be t li * - truc one, as the depth "t the two localities does nol differ considerably.

Whorls o, of which about 2 form a smooth nucleus, post-nuclear whorls convex, with an undu- lated suture, accompanied by a subsutural rib or keel, below this a slight excavation. Sculpture consisting of strong rounded ribs, crossing, though less distinctly, the. excavation, 10 in number on last whorl, where they nearly reach the base; one rib at some distance from the peristome, just bèhind the upper sinus, especially strong and varix-like. The brown colour consists of a faint tinge in the excavation, a similar zone below the periphery, much more conspicuous between the ribs, the principal lirae being nearly without exception red-brown, especially 4 of them on last whorl. Spirals from 3 to 7 on upper whorls and numerous ones on last whorl and canal, which cannot be divided in principal and secondary ones, the excavation is finely spirally striated, moreover very fine growth-lirae are visible in many parts, if seen with a strong lens. Aperture elongately oval, with a broad, moderately deep sinus below the suture, peristome rather thin, with a very shallow sinus mar the canal, which is short and broad; columellar margin tubercled above, then slightly concave, then straight and slightly directcd to the left at the canal, strongly enamelled in its whole length. Interior of aperture light purplish, nearly white near the peristome. Alt. tó1/., lat. 5 rt. alt. 7, lat. 2 Mill.

As Tryon, who has probably not known the species, enumerates it amongst his synonyms of D. sinensis and gives only a rude copy of Weinkauff's rather rude figure, I have not quoted that author. iS.

(Journ. de Conch., 1874, p. 187, PI.. 7, fig. 1), I scarcely can find diffe- rences of much importance, which could not be ascribed in part to the state of preservation of the specimens. Souyerbie's much more detailed description is very well applicable to the Siboga-specimens. If the two species ought to be united, the name affixed by Reeve should have priority. Mr. Le Bockton Tomlin (Journ. of Conch. Vol. XIII, 19 10, p. 43) thinks the two are different. 20. Drillia rad 11 la Hinds. HlNDS. Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1834, p. 16. REEVE. Conch. Ie.

I have located the species in Drillia instead of Surcula, though not without hesitation and after 1 have seen that Hedley (Proc. Austral. Assoc. adv. se. 1909, p. 3651 has done the same.

The sculpture of the; Siboga-specimens is coarser than that of a specimen from the Gulf ol Oman presented to me by Mr. Melvill, especially on last whorl, but otherwise I see no differences of any importance. These differences in sculpture may be partly due to variability, the localities being very remote, partly be caused by the Siboga-specimens being dead, which renders sculpture more conspicuous, as long as the shells are not worn. 22.

Though it may be possible, that if more specimens could be compared, these differences would prove to have only varietal rank, the spiral striation induced me to keep them provisionally separate. I find no tracé of it in the preceding form. 24. Drillia batjanensis n. sp. PI. XXVII, fig. 1. Stat. 139. o°ii'S., i27°25'E. Near Batjan. 397 M. Mud, stones and coral. 1 Spec.

Soc. Lond. 1901, p. 436, PI. 23, hg. 23), but a close comparison with the description and figure, gives the following differences ; that species has 8 whorls, a much smaller nucleus of but 2 whorls, it is keeled, which cannot be said of the new species, which has the lirae more regular, on the base the lirae in D. circumvertens are much more close, the total number of lirae however is larger. 25.

Tryon says (1. c.) it is an immature D. umbilicata Gray, the quoted localities are "Sierra Leone (Gray); West-Indies (Swift)"; the Siboga-specimen has not at all a juvenile app e and this circumstance, connecteil with the remote locality, may plead for my opinion that the two species may stand.

That species is according to description more slender, with 10 ribs on last whorl, but not costate behind peristome, moreover it is tinged with brown between the ribs and at the canal, whereas the last whorl of the new species is smooth, but for a conspicuous rib behind peristome and if quite fresh, it might have been brown behind that rib, at least I find a very faint tracé (perhaps bleached) of a brownish colour. 36.

This latter is r< arly attenuated towards the base and runs in the rather long, large canal, which in its basal part is free from lirae and only sculptured by fine and groovelike growth-lines. Aperture angularly ovate, with a moderately sharp angle above, ending below in a rather wide, slightly contorted canal. Peristome a little broken, probably rather thick, with a wide, rather shallow sinus above, then regularly arched; columellar margin concave at upper part, along the body-whorl, then thickened, with an obtuse, oblique fold at the upper part of this thicker one, directed to the left below. along the canal.

Cossmann (Hssai de 1'aléoconch. comp.

Coarse sand. 2 Spec. Shell fusiformly pagodaeform, strongly keeled, yellowish-brown, lighter on the canal, with a narrow whitish zone below the periphery and another at the fasciole. Whorls 1 1 , of which nearly 2 form a smooth, convexly-whorled nucleus, subsequent upper whorls nearly smooth, but with a strong keel, which is at first spinous, the spines being horizontally spreading, but soon become more or less upturned and have the character of erect trigonal spines, on the following 3 whorls, spreading again on last one ; spines about 20 in number on last whorl. Upper part of these whorls concave, the fasciole smooth, but for fine growth-lines; this fasciole is bordered on the lower whorls by a liration, and the space between this and the spinous keel is faintly 2- or 3 lirate, the space between the keel and lower suture of whorls is con- spicuously grooved, grooves 10 in number on penultimate whorl, about 38 on last one, where some of the upper and many of the basal ones have still intermediate lirae, lacking on the penultimate and older whorls. On the last part of last whorl, the shell is still sculptured by strong growth-lines, which, in crossing the interspaces or lirae between the grooves make them granulous. Last whorl contracted below its periphery, ending in a long, straight canal, which is strongly attenuated towards its base. Aperture elongately subtriangular, its upper margin nearly horizontal, with a deep, rather narrow sinus; outer margin joined to the upper one at a somewhat sharp angle, then slightly convex, thin, slightly fringed, columellar margin concave along the body-whorl, then running straight in the rather wide, long, nearly rectilinear canal, with a strong layer of white enamel on its whole length. Interior of aperture smooth, perhaps slightly grooved at its right margin. Alt. 25, lat. 9a/2; apert alt., with canal 13, lat. 3 Mill. This species may be readily distinguished from the preceding one by its sculpture, con- sisting of deep grooves between flat lirae, of which no tracé in the type of A. travancorica in lower part of whorls, and even in the var. granulata, the granules are separated by shallow striae ; the spines of a whorl are more numerous in that species and seem to be less pointed, though this latter difference may .be due to the state of preservation. Mr. Melvill has (Proc. Mal. Soc. Lond. Vol. VI, 1904, p. 56, PI. 5, fig. 3) afterwards described another species, A. orientis, from the Gulf of Oman, which, as that author presumes, seems to be in very juvenile condition ; even in that juvenile state, it differs from my species by its much stronger spines and sculpture, as may be clearly seen by comparison with the young specimen from Stat. 137, which has a length of 9.5 Mill. and has already the spiral sculpture and 17 spines on keel of last whorl.

Aperture oval, with a Munt angle above, peristome thin, fragile, the sinus according to growth- lines probably wide, but not very deep. Columellar margin regularly curved, but suddenly directed to the left, at the entrance of canal, which is contortedly directed to the left ; colu- mellar margin with a white layer of enamel, interior of aperture brown, smooth.

PI. 9, fig. 4), but the folds are more numerous than in that species, which lias a much thicker, straighter canal and a shorter spire, a thickened infrasutural margin. .S'. margaritae Smith, which I found somewhat similar in shape of spire and ribs, has a considerably longcr last whorl, inclusive of canal. The specimen from Stat. 262 is a smaller, much worn shell, of somewhat doubtful character. 3. Surcula supracostata n. sp. PI. XXVII, lig. 8. Stat. 45. 7°24'S., ii8°i5'2E. Flores-sea. 794 M.

The finer sculpture consists of fine and coarse growth-striae and spiral ones, stronger below the suture, across the convex ribbed part, fainter near the base. Aperture elongated, angular above, peristome thin, with a wide, shallow sinus, just below the suture, then strongly protracted ; columellar margin rather straight, with a faint fold at its upper half, not very conspicuous in the front view, with a rather thin, smooth layer of enamel ; canal wide, slightly directed to the left.

This species is similar in shape to the preceding one, but is more slender, nearly the whole shell is ribbed, it is stronger and less shining, differs in spiral sculpture and by the columellar fold. This latter character makes its place in Surcula somewhat doubtful and reminds Borsouia, but the fold is rather blunt, like in some specimens of Pleurotoma (Gcmmula) con- gencr Smith (may it be accidental?) and in other respects it better agrees with many species of Surcula, so I have located it, though with some doubt, in this genus. 5.

If 1 had seen only 2 extreme specimens, 1 certainly should have been induced to describe 2 species, the nucleus is in several specimens loosely coiled, the spirals difTer considerably in strength, the subsutural granules may be faint or entirely wanting, but these differences are intercrossing, so that I cannot tracé a line of demarcation between them and so I left them together. i".

Shell clavate, with a very broad body and long, slender canal, according to growth- striae with a wide, deep sinus, occupying nearly the vvhole breadth of upper whorls-, nucleus smooth, swollen ; operculum wanting. Type : Clavosurcula Sibogae n. sp. I could not refer this specimen to any known genus, its peculiar shape, which reminds that of Steiraxis Dall., is still too much different to locate it in that genus. In some degree it seems to be allied to Surcula, and so I have provisionally located it near that genus; unfor- tunately the operculum and soft parts are wanting; though the shell has the appearance of being not adult, it is too remarkable to neglect it. i.

Pleurotomella Verrill. Under this name I have united some shells, which agree in having a dark nucleus, sculptured with criss-cross lines, strongly contrasting with the rest of the shell ; this group has been united as a section of Mangilia and of Daphnella by Dall and by Tryon. Dall, in 1908 gives generic rank to Pleurotomella, but unites Gymnobela as a subgenus, for species with short spire, smaller than the average Pleurotomella and erects a new group Pliymorliyuchus on characters of the animal. As the Siboga-specimens contain no soft parts, I am unable to state if the animals are blind, as Pleurotomella ought to be, nor if they have the shape of 79 ; for Phymorh} So I am in the Ie eable j »« »->i ti< »n ofdescribing several leaving to subsequent researches to decide if they are rightly classified. i.

Shell elongately-fusiform, with smooth nucleus, aperture elongated, with a strong varix exteriorly, behind the peristome, which, in some measure is doublé, the internal peristome with a horizontal upper margin, a denticulated outer one, with a wide shallow sinus at the point of junction and an angle at the entrance of the short, slightly upturned canal ; columellar margin slightly concave above, with a conspicuous layer of enamel.

Whorls 6, of which about i1/,, form a convex, smooth, slightly inclining nucleus ; post-nuclear whorls convex, separated by a deep suture. Sculpture consisting of numerous, lamellose ribs, 26 in number on last whorl, besides a sharp one behind peristome; these ribs are waved by the intercrossing of spiral lirae, 4 principal and a few intermediate ones on penultimate whorl, more lamellose and prominent near the aperture and at the base and canal of last whorl, where they amount to about 16; true peristome strong, with 6 denticles below upper sinus and another at some distance, at the entrance of canal, the so-called exterior peristome, consists of many layers around upper sinus. Columellar margin with the layer of enamel thin and appressed above, thick and nearly loosened below. Alt. 9, lat. 3; apert. alt. 41/,, lat. i»/, Mill. Alt. 8, lat. 3; apert. alt. 3*/., lat. 11/. Mill. First measurements of the largest specimen with nucleus, but no developed inner peris- tome, second ones of specimen without nucleus, but with the peristome quite complete. This remarkable species is one of the puzzles of the Siboga-collections. It is impossible to locate it with any certainty in one of the groups of Gastropods ; the sinus makes it probable 85 irotomoid, and in this case, nearesl allied to Daphnella or Clathurelia\ its very shallow sinus pleads for the alliance with Daphnella \ only the soft parts could probably give it, but unfortunately they are wantii Mitromorpha A.

S veral other specimens belong to several groups of the Pleurototnidae, but art; too young or bad nr both for description; only in few cases I have mentioned them, but in view of the doubtful generic position, I have omitted the majority, which manner is certainly no to sciei S6 APPENDIX. Here follow a few species, which have been found in tubes or boxes and have been overlooked, partly because they were concealed in the aperture of larger species, partly by their real affinïty not having been recognized, when the collection was provisionally arranged in larger and smaller groups; so for instance those now recorded as Trop/wn, which, with their damaged peristomes made the impression of belonging to the Pleurotomidae, until a closer examination, broucjht to light the total absence of the characteristic sinus.
