Abstract

Volutidae, to which family it must be referred as one of the degenerate abyssal forms which have lost their columellar plaits.A magnificent species related to CaUiotectum, named Prodallia dalli and figured by Bartsch in 1915, was dredged in very deep water among the Philippines.The other named groups among the Turritidae of the Pacific coast are not involved in synonymic difficulties and therefore need not be discussed here.Preliminary list of names heretofore applied to divisions of the Turritidae with references and notes.
