The new species appears to be most nearly related toScalpellam gemma, Aurivillius, and Scalpelliim grimaldl ofthe same author, but possesses two extra valves below therostrum and a narrower carina. S. gemma was describedfrom Greenland and S. grimaldi from the Azores. ScaJpellum [Smilium) kempi, sp. n. Capitulum large, triangular, moderately compressed,bearing 15 stout white valves, which are more or less imbricateand project at the tips. Carina straight, narrowly triangular. Scalpellum {Smilium) kempi, sp. n. x 3. in lateral view, bluntly keeled posteriorly, bearing about sixtransverse ridges and distinctly striated vertically. Tergavertical, triangular, large, occupying more than half thecapitular area, slightly retro verted at the tip, having adistinct vertical keel along the middle line. Scuta resembling * See Pilsbry, Bull. Nat. Mus. uo. 60, p. 26 (1907). 590 Mr. O.

Rostrum prominent, triangular, two subrostals similar in shape, but smaller and muchless prominent ; the lower valve larger and more prominentthan the upper. Latera transverse, triangular, of no greatsize, prominent at the tips. Subcarina resembling therostrum, but less than half as long. Pe
