This species was taken in considerable numbers, at stations 814, 823, 824, off Block Island, in 13 to 27 fathoms, 1880. At station 1028, in 410 fathoms, 1881. It occurred, as ^^^ 2 usual, on the upper surface of fitrongylo- centrotus Drohachiensis, between the spines, and partly imbedded in the skin. At these localities the eggs and young occurred with the adults. Some of the eggs were kept alive till they developed into the veliger- stage. The eggs are large, yellow, attached singly or in groups to the skin of the sea- urchin. Its previous localities were off New Jersey, 35 fathoms; George's Bank, 60 fath- oms. This shell varies greatly in the proportions of length to breadth. In some, the spire is elevated ; in others, comparatively short. Stilifer CUrtUS Verrill, sp. nov. Shell short and broad, depressed spheroidal, with the spire very low, rising but little above the body-whorl. Nucleus very small, a little prominent, in our specimen not forming a stiliform tip like that of !S. Stimj)so?ii and other species. The rest of the shell has about two whorls, but is formed mainly by the large, ventricose body-whorl, which nearly encloses and conceals the rest. Aperture nearly as long as the shell, lunate, rather large ; outer lip very convex, evenly rounded. Shell smooth and white. Height, 2-5'"™ ; breadth 3-5'"™. Off Martha's Vineyard, station 1028, in 410 fathoms, Eulima intermedia Cantraine. Eidima intermedia G. 0. Sars. op. cit., p.,210, pi. 11, fig. 20; pi.
