The color-pattern in the several specimens before me is quite con- 

 stant. The superior part of the last whorl is convex, then sloping, 

 giving the periphery the suggestion of an angle ; and this appear- 

 ance is often visible at the aperture. 



H. KUHNI Pfeiffer. PL 59, figs. 55-57. 



Umbilicate, depressed, thin, striatulate above and below rather 

 densely granulated, diaphanous, pale reddish-corneous, with a sub- 

 sutural zone of large spots (anteriorly bipartite), then some narrow 

 obsolete bands, and below the periphery ornamented with an inter- 

 rupted reddish fascia; spire a little elevated, apex plane; suture 

 profound ; whorls 4i, convex, regularly widening, the last angular 

 above the middle, the angle vanishing anteriorly, a trifle descend- 

 ing, convex beneath ; aperture slightly oblique, lunar, submargari- 

 taceous inside ; peristome thin, the margins distant, right margin 

 very slightly expanded, basal slightly flexuous, very narrowly re- 

 flexed, columellar margin reflexed in a triangular plate, not closing 

 the narrowly perforating umbilicus. (P/r.)

Closely allied to the preceding, but granulate beneath, and 

 (apparently) lacking spiral lines there. 



H. ANDICOLA Pfeiffer. PL 58, fig. 49. 



Umbilicate, depressed, thin, granulate above and beneath, opaque, 

 whitish-corneous, banded with a number of reddish interrupted, or 

 spotted zones, the interstices flammulate with red; spire plane; 

 whorls 4, convex, the last dilated, rounded ; aperture rounded- 

 lunar ; peristome thin, margins joined by a thin callous, upper mar- 

 gin narrowly expanded, basal slightly reflexed, columellar dilated, 

 reflexed, half covering the narrow umbilicus. (Pfr.)
