“Eulima exulata, n. sp. Pl. I, fig. 2.
Shell subulate, generally a little curved or excentric towards the apex, white, glossy; whorls 9, slowly increasing, slightly convex; suture a little oblique, narrowly hyaline-marginate; aperture inversely auriform; labrum (viewed laterally) prominently curved, obscurely sinuate near the suture; columella a little thickened, united to the end of the labrum by a very thin callus.
Length, 9 mm.; diameter, 2.75.
Station 316: 190-250 fathoms.
Nine specimens containing the reddish animals. This is the largest of the Antarctic species. The former lips are not observable unless very carefully looked for. Although the spire is tapering, the apex is not acuminate.”
