Dr, J. Hector on New-Zealand Ichtliyology. 339 by modern writers ; I except Fabricius's description, which is admirable. Disco harbour and Waigat Strait. Only two or three specimens could be found. Clione horealis has a wide range as regards longitude, from Novaya Zemlya to the eastern coasts of North America. It is said to abound in arctic seas during the summer and autumn, and to be the principal food of the right whale. It is the Clione papilionacea of Pallas, Clio Umacina of Phipps, Clio retusa of Miiller and Fabricius (not of Linne), and Clio Miquelonensis of Rang. The date of publication by Pallas and Phipps is the same. Clione horealis was first noticed and figured by Martens in his voyage to Spitzbergen and Greenland, under the name of the " Sea May Fly." Since the publication in the ' Annals ' of my former papers on this subject I have had some additional information, and become aware of a few slight omissions, which enable me to add a short supplement. Montacuta Daiosoni. Newfoundland (Verkriizen). Kellia symmetros. A single valve, much larger than the specimen which I have described, was procured by Mr. Friele in the recent Norwegian Expedition at a depth of 488 fathoms. Gadulus tumidosus. A small variety was dredged in West Norway by Professor G. 0. Sars, who considers it a distinct species, and proposes to name it propinquus. Trochus umhilicalis. Cape York, 10 fms., and Port Ken-nedy (Walker). Rissoa castanea. White Sea (Middendorff). Turritella erosa. Syn. T. polaris (Beck) , Moller. TurriteUa reticulata. â– Melville Bay, 80-100 fms. (Walker). Odostomia alhula. Gulf of St. Lawrence, 20 fms. (Whit-eaves). I have now fulfilled my pledge to the Royal Society with respect to the Mollusca of the ' Valorous ' Expedition.
