which are rather irregularly distributed; they are visible also on the inside of the 
shell, and look somewhat as if they were foreign bodies lying inside; but this is not 
the case, as they remain unaltered if the inside is well cleaned. Reeve’s figure ° shows 
no spots at all. 
The situation of Tortilla is not known to me; Pfeiffer in the same publication 
(P. Z. S. 1846, p. 31), also gives it as the locality for Achatina (Streptostyla) cylindracea, 
which is found in Guatemala and in the State of Vera Cruz. 
The affinity of this species is equally doubtful: Strebel® is of opinion that it is 
nearly allied to G. conferta, but he has not seen a specimen of it and judges only from 
Pfeiffer’s description and Reeve’s figure. The latter, I think, more resembles G. turgida 
and G. jilosa; but 1 have some doubt whether the shell represented by Reeve may 
really belong to the species originally described by Pfeiffer.

The specimens collected by Herr Hoge are yellowish, like the figures given by 
Fischer and Crosse; but the white varices are considerably less conspicuous, and the 
surface of the shell exhibits many whitish vertical, more or less elongate, streaks and 
whitish round spots, which seem to be the results of wearing and scraping. They 
agree better in coloration with Pfeiffer’s figures, but they are not nearly so dark.
