Very near E. blandianum, resembling it in size and color, 

 but somewhat more slender, and often of a darker brown tint. 

 The chief difference however, is in the sculpture, ' ' E. walpo- 

 leanum having more numerous and narrower, thread-like 

 riblets, their intervals being closely crinkled with spiral strige 

 (pi. 8, fig. 22). The basal angle also is more pronounced. 

 The internal column is slender and weakly curved in a spiral, 

 though usually less so than is shown in fig. 3. 



Strebel has defined a small form, somewhat intermediate 

 between E. walpoleanum and E. 'blandianum,, as form B (pi. 

 4, fig. 5). In color and gloss it resembles E. Uandianum, but 

 has the sculpture of E. walpoleanum, the riblets standing as 

 close as in that species, though somewhat stronger. On the 

 penultimate whorl (16% mm. wide) there are about 100 rib- 

 lets, while in an especially small example of Uandianum with 

 the penult, whorl 17 mm. wide, there are only about 65 riblets. 

 The internal pillar is like that of E. Uandianum. This form 

 is from Cuatitlan and San Juan Miahuatlan.

 gularly ovate, whitish inside ; peristome continuous, thickened, 

 shortly reflexed throughout, whitish, the columellar margin
