 little more convex below, slightly deflexed at the aperture. Aper-

Separated from H. ledereri Pfr. by the much blunter keel, smaller 

 size, proportionally narrower umbilicus and weaker sculpture ; from 

 H. pyramdala Drap. by the regular elevation of the keel over the 

 suture, which is the same in all the specimens. (Mis.)
