COCHLOSTYLA-ORTHOSTYLUS. 9 



This species differs from C. ventricosa and fulgelrum in having a 

 dark purple-brown lip, as well as in some peculiarities of color 

 pattern, and in the usually purple apical whorls. I have never 

 seen specimens with dark-banded ground color (save a narrow colu- 

 mellar band), and this will probably prove another distinctive char- 

 acter. The variation in contour, as well as in size is considerable. 

 Fig. 38 is drawn from. the most globose specimen before me, fig. 41 

 from one of the most slender.

 cose, not umbilicated ; whorls 6, smooth ; columella a little thick- 

 ened, arched ; lip reflected. Deep chestnut-purple, covered through-

This species is known by the original example only. It is prob- 

 ably allied to C. pictor.
