PART    III 


GYMNOGLOSSA 


This  third  part,  containing  the  Gymnoglossa  of  the  Siboga  Expedition,  is  much  less  bulky 
than  its  predecessors,  containing  only  32  species,  of  which  a  few  are  new  to  science.  It  is  a 
very  difhcult  group,  and  I  am  much  obliged  to  Mr.  J.  Cosmo  Melvill  for  his  liberal  assistance 
in   naming  and  classifying  the  doubtful   specimens  and   for  procuring  specimens  for  comparison. 

I  wish  here  to  express  my  acknowledgement  to  the  library  of  Teyler's  Institution  at 
Haarlem  and  its  librarian,  who  has  in  the  most  obliging  manner  facilitated  the  use  of  the 
conchological   books,   represented  there  in   an   unusual   abundance. 

The  classification  of  some  specimens  remained  still  a  little  doubtful,  f.  i.  in  the  only 
Eulimella  and  in  one  species  of  Elusa,  even  after  making  use  of  the  papers  of  Dall  and 
Bartsch,  who  have  recently  made  a  special  study  of  this  section  of  mollusks.  I  have  repeated 
the  descriptions  of  the  new  species  of  Mucronalia  and  Stilifer,  from  my  monograph  with 
Dr.  Nierstrasz,  in  order  to  render  this  part  more  complete,  than  it  would  have  been,  by  simply 
quoting  them.  For  these  species  I  have  to  thank  Dr.  J.  Thiele  for  the  loan  of  specimens 
from  the  Zoological  Museum  of  Berlin.

The  specimen  sufficiently  agrees  with  fig.  30  of  the  Monograph  of  Adams  in  Sowerby's 
Thes.  Conch.  (1.  c),  less  so  with  the  other  quoted  figures.  Mr.  Melvill  wrote  about  the  Siboga- 
specimen:  "Does  not  exactly  agree,  but  comes  near  it".  The  specimen  is  perhaps  more  hyaline, 
the  margin  of  the  outer  lip,  can  scarcely  be  called  straight.  As  even  the  figures  in  the  Thesaurus 
Conch.  are  considerably  different,  so  much  that  they  can  scarcely  be  considered  to  belong  to 
one  and  the  same  specimen  and  one  might  consequently  conclude,  that  the  species  be  slightly 
variable,   I  have  left  this  single  specimen  without  a  new  name.

As  far  as  I  ara  aware,  this  species  has  only  been  recorded  from  the  Sandwich-isles,  but 
If  it  be  the  same  as  E.  acicula  Gould,  it  seems  to  be  more  widely  spread,  at  least  I  have 
received  specimens  under  this  latter  name  from   Mauritius.

The  specimens  don't  agree  in  every  respect  with  the  description,  a.  o.  I  see  no  faint 
band  at  the  suture,  the  mouth  of  one  of  the  specimens  from  Stat.  52,  seems  to  be  more 
effuse,  but  comparing  it  with  the  specimen  from  Stat.  178,  I  think  this  may  be  caused  by  its 
being  slightly  damaged.  So_  I  think  it  is  preferable,  not  to  describe  a  new  species  on  such 
slicht  differences.

sculpture  consisting  of  verj  faint,  often  irregular  orowth-striae  and  a  few  varices,  which  seem 
to  be  often  faint,  but  of  which  3,  higher  on  the  spin-,  are  more  conspicuous,  on  what  is  now 
the  left  side  of  the  ventra]  face  of  the  shell;  last  whorl  rather  elongate,  without  angle.  Aperture 
oval,  angular  above,  its  outer  margin  regularly  curved,  rather  blunt,  thickened  interiorly  by  a 
layer  of  shelly  matter,  basal  margin  rounded,  columellar  margin  nearly  straight,  but  thickened  a 
about  the  middle  and  slightly  reflected  over  what  may  scarcely  be  named  an  umbilical  slit.

This  new  species  is  unlike  any  described  form.  It  is  characterized  by  its  comparativelj 
short,  inflated  shape.  With  a  few  of  the  preceding  species  it  might  perhaps  bc:  placed  by  some 
authors  in  the  genus  Subularia.  1  have  restricted  that  group  to  the  species  named  Leiostraca 
by  Adams.

Shell  fusiform,  thin,  white  (probably  bleached)  nucleus  slightly  worn,  but  apparently

growth-striae,  sligfhtlv  stronger  at  irregular  intervals,  rendering  the  surface  folded,  but  forming 
no  ribs,  and  a  few  indistinct  varices;  spiral  sculpture :  a  fine  raised  line  at  some  distance  below 
the  suture,  a  few  distant,  impressed  striae  at  the  lower  part  of  each  whorl  and  very  fine 
microscopic  striae  on  the  whole  surface;  last  whorl  with  abouth  16  impressed  striae,  beginning 
a  little  above  the  periphery,  becoming  stronger  near  the  base.  Aperture  strongly  broken,  part 
of  the  outer  and  even  of  the  columellar  margin  wanting.  Outer  margin  probably  thin,  regularly 
curved,  columellar  margin  rather  straight  above,  tortuous  below,  reflected  towards  the  left. 
Shape  of  aperture,  as  far  as  may  be  judged,  elongate,   acutely  angular  above. 

Alt.    83/4  (but   may   have   been   more),   lat.    3-,   apert.   alt.   4x/4   Mill. 

A  very  puzzling  specimen,  and  were  it  not  for  it  peculiar  characters,  I  should  not  have 
named  and  described  it;  in  shape  it  resembles  6".  Mctcalfci  A.  Ads.,  but  it  is  more  ventricose 
than  my  specimens  of  that  species  from  Lifu,  with  a  much  longer  last  whorl,  a  different  suture, 
nay,  differing  in  every  particular.  lts  spiral  striation  is  an  exceptional  feature  in  the  genus,  and 
it  is  much  to  be  regretted,  that  the  base  of  columella  is  wanting,  for  if  this  were  present,  it 
might  prove  to  be  bent  towards  the  left  and  backwards,  which  would  locate  the  species  in  the 
genus  or  subgenus  Bacula  H.  and  A.  Adams  (1863)  containing  Arcuella  mirifica  Nevill  (Journ. 
Béng.  Soc.  Vol.  43,  1S74,  PI.  1,  fig.  10,  copied  by  Tryon  Man.  of  Conch.  Vol.  YIII,  PI.  70, 
fig.  70)  which  latter  species  is  also  spirally  striated,  with  a  distinct  subsutural  zone;  but  though 
the  columella  is  tortuous  below  and  so  it  might  be  that  it  would  terminate  in  an  angle  of  the 
same  construction  as  that  of  B.  mirifica  •  this  seems  to  be  too  bold  a  supposition,  to  locate 
it  in  that  genus.  Untill  fresh  or  at  least  complete  specimens  have  been  collected,  this  species 
will  remain  one  of  the  numerous  enigmas  amongst  the  difficult  Gymnoglossa.  If  it  has  really  lived 
at  the  great  depth  of  1886  M.,  the  probability  of  getting  more  materials,  will  not  be  very  great.

Both  specimens  are  very  young  and  it  is  only  by  comparison  with  a  specimen  from 
the  original  locality,  received  from  the  author,  that  I  was  able  to  identify  them.  The  smallest 
specimen,  from  Stat.  51,  has  only  a  length  of  51/.  Mill.  and  but  very  faint  traces  of  "the  bright 
reddish-brown,  vein-like  lines  which  here  and  there  cross  the  whorls".  Indeed  I  see  but  one  brown 
line  at  the  upper  part  of  the  aperture  and  two  short  lines  below  the  suture  of  the  last  whorl, 
the  upper  whorls  being  uniformly  white,  with  the  spiral,  supra-sutural  line,  which  even  is  wanting 
on  the  uppermost  whorls.  However  this  is  also  the  case  in  the  typical  specimens,  as  far  as  may 
be  judged  after  one  specimen  that  has  lost  its  nuclear  whorls.  The  specimen  from  Stat.  4  is  a 
slightly  bleached  shell.  Clessin  seems  not  to  have  noticed  this  species  though  his  monograph 
has  been   published  in    1902.

this   latter    is    pervious,    funnel-shaped,  with    a   rather  strong  keel  interiorly  along  its  wall;  this 

is   crenulated    by    rounded    crenules,    about    10  in  last  whorl,  considerably  diminishing  the 

width    of  the    umbilicus.    Practically  1   sec    no  sculpture,   but   a   few  growth-striae,   which  are  for 

the  majority  very  faint  and  rarely  have  the  charact<  r  of  very  indistinct  varices. 

Aperture  elongately  subrhombic,  protracted  below,  with  an  acute  angle  above,  a  thin, 
regularly  arched  outer  margin,  scarcely  angulated  by  the  peripheral  keel;  base  strongly  angular

is  still  larger,  more  elongated  and  quite  different  in  colour.  I  have  named  it  in  honour  of 
Mr.    EDGAR   A.   Smith,   the  well-known   keeper  of  the   mollusca   in   the   British   Museum.

Unfortunately  the  only  specimen  was  broken,  consequently  the  identification  slightly 
doubtful,  however  the  upper  whorls  and  texture  of  shell  agree  with  the  numerous  specimens 
I  have  seen.  Deshayes  and  Tryon  (1.  c.)  have  described  the  species  as  a  Stilifer.  The  Siboga- 
specimen   is  provided  with  an   operculum.

By  its  shape,  especially  by  that  of  the  penultimate  whorl,  which  is  uncommonly  developed, 
I  cannot  distinguish  the  shell  from  the  species  described  by  Petit  as  Stylifer  Mittrei,  only  the 
Siboga-specimen  is  much  smaller.  Petit  had  only  one  specimen,  without  exact  indication  of 
locality,  and  he  did  not  know  if  it  were  a  parasite;  probably  the  operculum  was  wanting,  at 
least  Petit  does  not  mention  it.  With  a  view  on  the  preceding  species  it  is  not  strange  that 
this  species  should  be  referred  to  the  genus  Mucrottalia,  on  account  of  the  operculum  in  the 
Siboga-specimen.  Moreover  its  other  conchological  characters,  sufficiently  agree  with  those  of 
the  species  dealed  with  sub  2  and  3,  to  unite  them  in  the  same  group.  It  may  be  even  the 
question,  if  after  all  so  many  species  will  stand,  when  more  materials  will  have  been  collected.

This  resemblance  with  the  preceding  one,  but   is  much  more  slender, 

it  is  nol   the  juvi  ate,    for  it  should  never  reach  the  breadth  of  thai   species,  if  it   proved 

to    be    thi  this    would    be    an    extraordinary    case    of  dimorphism  in   Mollusca;  only  the 

that  it  has  been  found  on  the  same  animal,  is  a  reason  to  be  cautious.   Mucronalia

The  species  varies  slightly  in  shape,  some  specimens  being  more  swollen  than  others, 
which  may  depend  on  sex;  the  varixlike  striae  on  the  last  whorl  are  remarkable,  they  remind 
thos<  "t  Stilifer  variciferus  Hedlcy  (Mem.  Austral.  Museum,  Vol.  III.  p.  411.  fig.  5),  but  that 
is  quite  another  shell,  belonging  to  the  section  of  exaratus.  These  varices  probably  result  of 
former  margins,  which  by  being  expanded,  caused  these  rihlike  processes. 

After  this  description  was  written  I  found  a  fine  specimen  from  Stat.  164.  amongsl  the 
Eulimidae,  hut  this  was  loosened  and  consequently  not  immediately  recognizcd  as  a  parasite, 
lts  length  is   ~,[.,:   Mill.  and  it  has  the   varices  very   wel!   developed.

The  description  of  the  soft  parts  or  animal  of  Stilifer  are  rather  different  from  each 
other;  if  one  compares  the  description  of  Stilifer  Turtoni  Brod.  by  Jeffreys  (British  Concho- 
logy,  Vol.  I\'.  ]).  195)  and  bis  figures  of  the  animal  (1.  c.  PI.  3,  fig.  2),  with  that  of  Stilifer

one   would  ly   think   that   the   authors   deal   with   the  same   gfenus.

Unfbrtunately  both  specimens  are  defective,  the  spire  of  the  shells  being  wanting;  as 
they  have  a  very  fragile  appearance,  I  was  not  able  to  observe  them  sufficiently,  to  give  even 
a  provisional  description,  nor  could  I  identify  them  with  any  of  the  known  species  of  Stilifer 
or  Mucronalia.   On  account  of  the  lobes  I  have  located  the  species  in  the  genus  Stilifer.

Shell  small,  oval,  imperforate,  white,  smooth,  with  very  fine  growth-striae  and  traces  of 
still  much  finer  spiral  striae;  whorls  about  6,  of  which  the  two  apical  ones  are  mucronate  and 
in  some  specimens  of  a  brown  tinge,  in  others  white  (bleached?);  the  subsequent  whorls  are 
more  or  less  convex  and  separated  by  a  deep,  margined  suture.  Aperture  broadly  ovate,  with 
a  sharp  angle  above,  right  margin  thin,  regularly  arched  if  seen  in  the  aperture,  nearly  straight 
if  seen  laterally,  columellar  margin  strongly  curved,  thin,  running  without  angle  into  the  basal 
margin,  with  a  thin  layer  of  enamel  on  the  bodywhorl.  The  aperture  is  placed  very  oblique

Though  the  depth  on  which  the  specimens  have  been  caught,  varies  considerably.  I  have 
found  no  reason  to  describe  more  than  one  species,  those  from  Stat.  164  are  smaller  and  have 
white  nuclear  whorls,  but  I  find  no  other  characters  to  separate  them;  the  convexity  of  the 
whorls  and  consequently  the  more  a  less  elongated  shape  of  the  shell,   may  depend  on  sex.

As  t'.  the  plait,  1  have  opened  three  whorls  of  a  specimen,  but  could  not  detect  tracés  of  a 
plait.  Should  we  consider  the  species  as  an  abnormal  Elusa,  or  as  an  abnormal  Eulimella,  or  as 
a  representative  of  a  hew  group?  In  accordance  with  Mr.  Melvill's  predominant  view,  I  have 
foliowed  the   fust  method,  without  being  quite  certain,  that  it  will  prove  to  be  the  right  manner. 

Eulimella  Forbes.

Shell    rather    large    for   the    genus,    subulate,  smooth,  yellowish-white.    Nuclear  whorls  a 

little   eroded,   subsequent  whorls  ;!;,,  slightly  convex,  separated  by  a  distinct  suture.  Sculpture 

of  fine  and  coarser  growth-striae,   which   laiter  form   however  no  distinct  ribs,  crossed 

by    very    indistinct    spiral    striae,    scarcely    perceptible    on     many    parts    of    the    shell:    last    whorl 

elongately-rounded.   Aperture  mot  quite  intact    ovate,  angular  above,  outer  margin  thin,  regularly 

arched,  l^ase  probably  rounded,  but  subangular,    perhaps  1>\-  the  partly  broken  margin);  columellar 

margin    straight,    slightly    reflected,    nearly    covering    a    tracé    of    an    umbilical    slit.    Interior    ol 

mooth. 

Alt.    1  ;    apert.    alt.    28/4.    lat.     1  ';,    Mill. 

This  is  also  a  very  dubious  species,  it  is  nearly  too  bad  tbr  description,  in  so  difficult 
a  group,  but  still  in  too  good  condition,  to  Ik;  neglected,  s"  it  may  1»-  located  here,  untill 
further  investigation  will  clear  up  its  somewhal   obscure  position  in  the  system.

Turbonilla  Risso. 

i.    Turbonilla  subcylindrica  n.  sp.    PI.   XVII,  fig.   n. 

Stat.   102.  6° 4'.  1  N.,    i20°44'E.  Sulu  Sea.  535  M.  Fine,  yellow  sand.    1   Spec. 

Shell  rather  large,  subcylindrical,  attenuate  towards  the  spire,  white,  with  a  faint 
yellowish-brown  band  at  the  upper  part  of  the  whorls,  upper  whorls  more  brown.  Nuclear 
whorls  bulbous,  smooth,  abruptly  turned  to  the  left,  consisting  of  a  little  more  than  one  lateral 
volution;  postnuclear  whorls  about  n1/»,  with  a  deep  suture,  making  the  shell  subgradate, 
especially  the  upper  whorls.  Sculpture  consisting  of  substraight  ribs  (about  2 1  on  last  whorl), 
which  are  rather  broad  and  are  separated  by  large  interstices,  about  as  broad  as  the  ribs,  but 
not  deep ;  moreover  I  see  a  microsculpture  consisting  of  very  fine  growth-striae  and  still  finer 
spiral  striae,  and  traces  of  a  slight  contraction  in  the  upper  part  of  each  whorl,  especially  of 
the  upper  ones,  scarcely  appreciable  in  the  lower  whorls.  Last  whorl  elongate,  rounded  below. 
Aperture  oval,  with  an  angle  in  its  upper  part,  a  thin,  subsinuous  outer  margin,  and  arched 
columellar  margin,  with  an  oblique  plait  above  the  middle,  and  is  reflected  below.  No  traces 
of  an   umbilical   slit. 

Alt.    io1/*,  lat.    2;  apert.   alt.    i1/,,  lat.   5/6   Mill. 

This  new  species  is  allied  to  Turbonilla  templaris  Melv.,  but  it  is  much  larger,  even 
than  a  specimen  which  I  owe  to  the  liberality  of  the  author  (long  61/,,  Mill.)  more  cylindrical 
and  less  contracted  at  some  distance  below  the  suture,  moreover  that  species  is  uniformly  glassy 
white,  whereas  the  new  species  is  faintly  banded.
