 Mr. Hirase's collection. 



Eulota friedeliana var. goniosoma n. var. 



More widely umbilicate and more depressed than friedeliana or 

 var. peraperta. Whorls 5-|, the last bluntly angular at the periphery. 

 Surface covered with short triangular cnticular scales, or their short 

 solid bases. Alt. 8.5, diam. 19, width of umbilicus 7 mm.

Shell very thin, very openly umbilicate, the spire very low ; nearly 

 planorboid. Lightly striate. Whorls 5, the last very slightly de-

 no. 1241 of Mr. Hirase's collection. 



This is quite a distinct form by its thin lip and minutely lamellose 

 cuticle. 



The four Aegistas described above would probably be treated as
