Abstract
A DETAILED account has recently been given1 of the structure and mode of life of several members of the Pyramidellidæ. It has been shown that they are parasitic and feed by sucking the juices of lamellibranchs and tube worms. The normal hosts are known for only a small number of species, principally of the genus Odostomia.
