200 EUGLANDINA. 



280. G. turgida MARTENS, Biologia, p. 73, pi. 4, f. 16, with 

 var. sayulana, f. 17-20a (1891). 



"Resembles in its general form G. largillierti, but larger, 

 broader, and wanting the distinctly marginate and erenulated 

 suture. I am indebted to Mr. Edgar Smith for a figure of 

 the type of this species" (v. Marts.}. 



58o, Var. SAYULANA Martens. PI. 24, figs. 57, 58, 59. 



Shell ovate-oblong, subcylindric, lightly striate, rather 

 glossy, reddish-yellow. Spire long, somewhat obtuse. Whorls 

 6 l /2, convex, the penultimate rather large, suture nearly 

 simple, violaceous. Aperture nearly half the total length or 

 a little shorter, lanceolate, the outer margin lightly arched 

 forward, columella moderately arcuate, white. Length 28-30, 

 diam. 12, aperture 14-15 mm. (Marts.). 



Sayula, State of Jalisco (Hoge). 



59. E. FILOSA (Pfr.). Vol. I, p. 34. PI. 23, figs. 31, 32, 33. 



Figured after v. Martens from a specimen in Pfeiffer's col- 

 lection. Orizaba. 



60. E. FISCHERI (v. Martens). PI. 23, figs. 29, 30. 



Shell fusiform-oblong, lightly plicate, brown, with nearly 

 simple suture; spire obese above; columella arcuate. Length 

 37, diam. 15, aperture 18 mm. (Marts.). 



Mexico: Toluca (Boucard, Hoge). 



Glandina filosa var. b, FISCHER et CROSSE, Miss. Sci. Mex., 

 Moll, i, p. 129. G. fischeri MARTS., Biologia, p. 74, pi. 5, f.

'I have no doubt that the specimens collected by Herr 

 Hoge at Toluca are conspecific with Fischer and Crosse's var. 

 B. of G. filosa from the same locality. Pfeiffer's G. filosa be- 

 longs to quite a different species. I have examined a speci- 

 men in his collection, and find that it has a distinctly more 

 tapering spire, and the vertical ribs (to which it owes its 

 name) distinctly more elevated. These specimens from To- 

 luca are irregularly plaited near the suture, but the plaits or 

 riblets very soon become quite faint and flat as they descend
