The Co-ta Rica localities given above are lor \\hat von Martens 

 calls var. /i/n-o/dt/is, identifying it \\itli the species so named by Con. 

 rad. It is not, liowever, the true ItneolatUS, and niav lie called var. 

 martensianus. Smaller, yellowish, the length of the aperture not 

 \ffeding the diameter of the i-hell. 



Dr. Mm Martens lurther remarks: ' Tlie >.tripesof this .-pecies 

 are very irregular ; e\en in the >ame >|iecimen .-ome are near one 

 anolher. and others have large inter\als bet\\een them; often they

 internal layer of the -hell, and covered by a thin whilish superficial 

 cmiting. Ordinarily, the >lripes lircak up at the .-aim- height at 

 -oni.' di-lance from the umbilicus; in young >pecimeii-, as a general 

 rule, they break up at the angularity in the middle of the whorl. 



The specimen.- from ( 'o-ta Kica have generally a thinner and 

 more yellow-colored .-hell, and the largest which I have seen from
