Hab.—Cape Point (S. Africa), N. 50° E., 18i miles, 180 fathoms, 2 specimens, Piefer Faure. This species, except for the plicae, has some likeness to biplicata, Kr., but is double the size of that species. It has also some resem- blance to succinea, Conrad. The specific name is chosen out of respect for Mr. J. E. le Brockton Tomlin, whose researches on the genus are well known. The type specimens of both species are in the Museum (Nos. A1954 and A1956 respectively)..
