Hirn's examination of authentic specimens enabled him to 

 correct and complete the descriptions and figures of Wolle.

Wood's record was long the only one for this species, which 

 he found growing in his aquarium. Wolle merely condenses 

 Wood's description, and Him copies it, and gives dimensions 

 taken from Wood's figures. Its nearest relative seems to be Oe. 

 spirale from Java, but in the latter the arrangement of the 

 spirals is quite different. For occurrence in Mass., see Collins, 

 igoSb, p. 57.
