Bruguiere's description and the figures he cites agree best with 

 the large form found at Matanzas. As this place was settled in 1693, 

 it is likely that the original specimen was brought from thence. I 

 do not know that this form occurs at any other locality. 



Typical mumia is larger than chrysalis, more cylindrical, with the 

 peristome more broadly flaring and recurved, and the parietal 

 lamella usually better developed and quite long. It is sometimes 

 reinforced by a callus or small tooth united to its left side. 



Fig. 95 of pi. 31 represents a specimen corresponding in size with 

 the original type. Fig. 96 is a larger shell- 

 Form medium Maynard (pi. 31, fig. 97), described from two speci- 

 mens labeled " Cuba," differs from mumia by the smaller size with 

 rather narrower lip. It is " yellowish white, marked everywhere 

 with longitudinal, zigzag lines of reddish-brown, which are occasion- 

 ally broken into lines." Length 30, diam. 12^ mill.
