HELIX. 143 
Hab. ¥.. Mexico: Papantla, N. of Misantla (Deppe 12456 *)- 
TU CHIAPAS: (Ghiesbreght 3). 
| ‘The shell is pale greyish-yellow, with a reddish-brown band in the periphery and 
numerous opaque-yellow markings. These markings are either irregularly spread over 
the surface and of rounded outline, or arranged in numerous spiral lines and more or 
less contiguous in this direction, but not forming such well-defined bands as is shown 
in the figure given by Pfeiffer?._ In one specimen they are very much reduced in 
number and nearly confined to the sutural region ; this shell, unfortunately, has been 
examined and figured by Strebel’. I give therefore new figures from the typical 
specimens in the Berlin Museum.

Hab. Mexico: Sierra Maestra (Poey 1—), 
No Sierra of this name is known to me; perhaps Sierra Madre is intended, or some 
place in Cuba.

Hab. N.W. Mexico: Guaymas (J. G. Cooper®); State of Sinaloa (Aug. Rémond °~‘) ; 
Ventanas, near Ciudad, State of Durango (Forrer and Hoge). 
W. Mexico: Tepic and Sayula, State of Jalisco (W. Richardson). 
_ [ have given a fresh description from the specimens collected by Forrer, Hoge, and 
Richardson, which have satisfied me that H. remondi is only a variety of H. trypanom 
phala, distinct by a narrower umbilicus, which occupies about one-sixth of the diameter 
of the shell. : 
In its peculiar punctate sculpture this species approaches somewhat the subgenus 
Trichodiscina, from which it differs, however, by the general figure of the shell and 
the narrow, more or less covered, umbilicus. 
HH. remondi is identified with H. carpenteri, Newcomb, from Upper and Lower Cali-
